Additional info & updates

We'll see what happens. I'm looking to move out of Texas if possible, and thinking of moving west.

11-2011-01-2012 Don't remember exact dates of submission of apps. All were submitted before December LSAT score had come in, except UCLA, Berkeley, UT, and USC. Hopefully, I have a shot at one.

1-13-2012 Accepted at Denver. 30K per year scholarship (3.0 GPA requirement). First one of hopefully many.

1-13-2012 Called CU about a status change earlier. Informed that a decision had been reached before my December LSAT score had been forwarded to them. Therefore, my application will be reconsidered. In an interesting twist, I received the rejection letter later in the day. Good thing I called. My numbers should be enough for CU.

1-17-2012 "Under Review" at Berkeley. It's going to be a long two months before I hear back. Don't stop believing.

1-18-2012 In at UC Irvine. Info coming later.

1-19-2012 So, I had completely forgot that I applied to Cardozo on a whim back in October. Yeah, I know. How do you forget that? But, it turns out that they called today to offer me acceptance with a full ride. Full info coming through the mail. Not too shabby.

1-20-2012 Received a merit fee waiver for U of Michigan. So, I decided what the hell. It doesn't hurt to try and apply. Never know what will happen.

1-22-2012 Damn fee waivers. Well, this should be the last one. Cornell.

1-23-2012 In at Berkeley! Didn't think it would happen. Info coming in the mail later. Quick turnaround too. Under review since 1-13-2012.

1-26-2012 In at UT. I received the email with my UTEID (though I already had it because I went to UT as an undergrad) about three days ago. Sorry for not being able to fix the dates for those wondering. Maybe it's my computer or I'm not as savvy as I thought I was.

1-30-2012 Scholarship letter from UC Irvine. 55K first year, renewable second and third with a 2.0 (!). Still, it's hard to turn down an opportunity at Berkeley.

2-1-2012 In at L&C. 19K scholarship with a 2.95 GPA requirement.

2-2-2012 Scholarship info from UT. 18K a year (54K total). No GPA requirement.

2-6-2012 Finally updated all the schools. And, received an offer from U of A. 22K per year for three years. Top 10% requirement.

2-6-2012 Second update of the day. Although I have officially accepted the Berkeley offer, I will continue to update this page until I hear back from every school. I want this to serve as a guide for future applicants.

2-7-2012 Rejected at Minnesota. Yeah, I doubt I'll lose any sleep over that one.

2-7-2012 While I was told that I would be reconsidered at CU, I'm going to change it to a rejection. If it changes, I'll change it back. But, I don't think I am actually being reconsidered.

2-17-2012 WL at UC Hastings.

2-23-2012 In at Oregon. Info coming later through mail.

2-24-2012 10K per year at Oregon. I also adjusted all the scholarship offers so far to reflect the three year amount rather than the single year amount.

2-29-2012 WL at UCLA.

3-14-2012 In at Washington. Info coming later.

3-23-2012 WL at Michigan.

4-3-2012 In at ASU.

Ignore the Sent, Received, Complete portion. I guess I'm not savvy enough to how to fix it. I'll just post as much info as I can on the Additional Information section.

How did you hear from Irvine? How long ago did you apply there?

The 6th of 7th of this month? Not too sure of the date. I found out about the admission through e-mail, and I should be getting a package through snail mail in a few days.

It's not like me to forget such things, but I did forget that I applied to Cardozo. But, it was on a whim because I was speaking to a friend about NYC, and, at the time (very early October, when I was still PTing at 155), I didn't feel I could get anywhere near a 160 on the LSAT. So, I figured I would just give it a shot.

Congratulations! Wow. I hope you get lots of scholly $$$. I think I'd have a heck of a time deciding between full tuition at UCI and ANYTHING at Berkeley.

re:Berkeley
Friday, January 13 2012 at 07:00 PM

Thanks, man. Yeah, it will be Berkeley all the way. It was my top choice since the beginning, with me only applying to Michigan and Cornell in case it didn't work out at Berkeley. Same for UT/USC/UCLA. I never felt I had a shot into a top 20 school until after I received my December LSAT score. I assumed I would only be able to get into a school ranging from 21-50, with other schools as safety schools.

Katie, Yeah, no problem. Would you like me to send you a message?
