Additional info & updates

LSAT Take 2: Got my October LSAT back and I got a 157. So a 5 point improvement which got me from the 52nd percentile to the 71st percentile which should help me a little.

**Scholarship info above will be a total for all three years**

10/28/2015-Got a freaky fast response from the University of Miami. They called telling me I got accepted. $20k merit scholarship a year as long as I maintain a good GPA.

11/18/2015- Got a call from the University of Missouri that I missed but they left me a call/email saying that I have been accepted! Scholarship consists of $36,000 over three years plus $17,600 off the out of state costs my first year.

12/15/2015-Went to the application status page for Iowa and my application went to waitlisted. Now to sit for an even bigger waiting game with them before I get a final decision.

12/17/2015-Got a response from Northwestern about my ED application and got turned down. They offered me the opportunity to apply regular decision so I am now doing that.

12/18/2015- Got contacted by Loyola via email about being accepted and will be receiving $15,000 a year if I go there.

1/11/2016- Got notified via email that I have been put on a waitlist for UIUC. Slightly bummed out since this was my home school and one of my top choices.

1/21/2016- Went to the Application Status Check page and saw my application changed to denied for Iowa. Also followed up with UIUC today and gave them additional documents stating my continued interest in their law program.

2/1/2016- Received an email from Wisconsin about being put on their Waitlist. My application also went from in review to rejected in the same day for Wash U and was notified via email.

2/5/2016- Received an email from Northwestern notifying me that I had not been accepted. Was pretty obvious before I even applied but figured I'd do it since I had a waiver.

2/22/2016- Journey officially ended with IUB. Got the "Decision Sent" status on there website which followed with a rejection email.

**Post Initial Decisions**

2/22/2016- So with all my applications receiving an initial decision at this time, I am currently still hoping that my waitlist status for Wisconsin or Illinois work in my favor. If we have to assume that I will not be admitted to either of those last two schools I will most likely be attending Loyola due to being in Chicago and so that I can continue my work at Apple.

4/15/2016- Still on a waitlist for UIUC and U of Wisconsin but I placed my deposit on Loyola just in case. Sent my thesis project/results to both colleges to show that I'm still interested.
