Additional info & updates

Fingers crossed as applications start to go out.

1/19/14- Have gotten scholarship offrs from Florida Coastal and some others for $12,000 for the following 2014 year. Money may be an issue going into this next year. FAMU is a very attractive option with such low tuition costs.

1/30/14: Accepted at Florida Coastal. Feels good to get the first one. Woohoo

2/7/14: Accepted to Nova today via email and status checker.

2/19/14: Received Packet from Cooley today on acceptance.

2/27/14: Got a small envelope from FIU in the mail yesterday. I knew from its size it was a nice rejection letter. Oh well. Still not sure if I want to study my butt off and take the lsat again in June. Playing the waiting game on fsu, famu, stetson and barry. Let's hope for the best!

3/4/14: Still don't understand why Barry is taking so long.....

3/12/14: In at FAMU. Woohoo! Going to visit soon see how everything is. Waiting on the acceptance packet in the mail.

3/20/14: In at Barry with a $7000 scholarship per year which would make tuition around 27k.

I am leaning towards putting the seat deposit down at FAMU in Orlando. The attractively low tuition is really compelling me to head this route. I didn't get any scholarship consideration from NOVA, which is my top school. This makes tuition at 34k, 20k more than FAMU, and the cost of living in Davie/ Ft. Lauderdale is really pricey. Orlando has a ton of apartment options and I would need a place that allows dogs, and in particular, a wonderful pit bull named Cali.

5/1/14: Barry upped my scholarship to 10000 a year. Wrote them back trying to get 14000 making it match up with the fafsa rate. hoping to head there if i get lucky

Out of those 4...I would say NOVA. And even if you do not get in...they have a summer program where if you pass the class you get into law school. Nova will give you the best job prospects from those 4 on your list. You will have a very hard time finding a job with Barry, Coastal, and A&M with the FL legal market so saturated right now. There is always next cycle!! Best of luck!

You should consider retaking your LSAT. Nova isn't worth the debt. Studying and prepping for a retake will land you scholarships and potential full-rides to schools in Florida. Those are just my 2 cents.

Nova Interview

Did you do the online Interview at Nova they requested?

Thursday, January 09 2014 at 10:12 PM

Yeah, I must have taped it about 10 times until I was happy with it though, but in the end I was happy that I did it.

Congrats on your acceptance at Nova! Sending in my video to Nova manana.

I have considered FAMU but not thrilled with their job prospects, bar passage rates, and accreditation issues. I'm actually gonna pay a seat deposit to Barry for some insurance in case I don't pass AAMPLE. Thoughts on that?

Monday, February 03 2014 at 06:55 PM

Waiting for NOVA sending my video as well Good luck eveyone

Im sure the aample program will give you a good measure on things and hope you dominate it and get into nova. Im not sure how many aample program participates get to matriculate so I think the seat deposit at barry is a good idea. Im still waiting on barry, they seem to be taking there sweet time after I got an interest and scholarship offer from them in the mail.

Your numbers are better than mine so I'm confident Barry is a go for you. They took a couple weeks to reply to me.

Saturday, February 16 2013 at 06:51 PM

I made it through AAMPLE and got in to Nova
