Awesome Personal Statement and Recommendations

Pretty smart, came in to college with dual credit courses that added up to a 2.8 GPA (I did not treat high school like I did college... in high school graduated with a 3.4), BUT in college alone I got pretty serious about work and I knew I had to make up for that ugly GPA i received from high school sooo I ended up with a Degree GPA of a 3.9, which I gained while at the university only in my 2 and a half years there.

Graduated high school '09
College '11

Now I am in an MBA program been here for about a year- 3.5 GPA

LSAT score is obviously not my best suit.. but even though I am pretty sure I could do better, I believe my time is now for law school and I have to roll with this feeling.

Additional info & updates

Calls:

*Received a call from Southern Illinois on Wednesday 3/13. Accepted

*Received a call from Northeastern Univ in Boston, MA 3/15. Accepted
*3/20 Received award packet by mail, Academic Scholarship of $30,000 (which in reality is nothing compared to their tuition) and I did fill out the FAFSA last week so when that comes in hopefully I'll have some need based grants.

*3/20 Received call from Ohio Northern, I have been accepted and given $32,000k per year in scholarships merit based and grant

Emails:

Mercer- 3/13 Accepted

Vermont Law- 3/14 Accepted- $90,000... very appealing

University of Baltimore- 3/14 Accepted

Status Checker-

Baylor- 3/15- WAITLISTED because seats are filled ??, BUT OFFERED ADMISSION FOR SPRING 2014 if I reactivate my application.

4/10- Just been accepted by email to UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS COLLEGE OF LAW with 50% TUITION. :)

NO CLUE WHAT I AM ABOUT TO DO.

4/15- UIUC- I emailed financial aid office to discuss more scholarship opportunities, emailed back stated that they have more scholarships for current students than admitted students.
I see great potential with UIUC, so I initiated the exchange of money in the form of the first seating deposit.

It is non-refundable, but I could not be happier with this choice!

Good luck to all.

Also I will finish out the cycle as soon as I hear about the other schools!

I received the decision by email a week after the status was complete!!

I honestly believe you are underestimating your potential. You should have applied to considerably more top 20 law schools. I would have added Cornell to your list. At least half of the schools you applied to are not worth attending.

In my mind, I guess I didn't have a chance.. Tried to weigh my options the best I could. But I didn't apply to other schools that I did not put on the list, however, none were top 20. They were in the top 50 though

I'm really leaning towards IUB, but I have some financial concerns with the school. I need to justify if the debt is worth the education. Otherwise, I might be better going off to SUNY Buffalo. (Even though is not a spectacular place to spend 3 years.) I have a free trip to IUB this weekend so I will have a better idea later on. Also, IUI sent me a scholarship letter today, (a solid month after I got an accepted letter) so I should look again into the school. Hope you hear great thing from your schools!

Thanks! Congratulations on U of I!!

Your cycle is looking good as well. My thought is that I'll attend the highest ranked school, that offers the greatest scholarship, with the most lenient stip.

Congrats

I didn't notice that you had decided to attend Uof I. Good luck, U of I is definitely a contender on my list. We shall see what happens. I received the UBS drive yesterday. I want to visit the campus in 2 weeks.
