Applying to study Public Interest Law

Note of advice to future applicants: There's a section on the LSAC website where you can allow your data (GPA, LSAT) to be released to schools. Apparently everyone knows this but me, but MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS. Based on the fee waivers those with similar numbers received, I probably lost a few hundred dollars on this mistake (I finally changed my settings in mid-October, which is why I got the UMich waiver). So dumb.

Derbruederderbewerber: Thanks for your comment! I'm actually working on the Yale app as we speak. JVC keeps us pretty busy, so I got hung up (and procrastinated quite a bit) on Yale because of its different format. Hope to have it in by tomorrow.

I wish I had Columbia to consider, but I'm on Hold at HLS and CLS right now. So far, it's between Penn/NYU--if anyone makes me an offer I can't refuse, it's a done deal. I withdrew from everywhere else though. What about you? No Harvard? Scholarships? We also applied around the same time too. I think your Ivy undergrad is what has made the difference at Columbia so far, IMO. Congrats on everything!
