Attended a conference on ethics in america hosted by West Point.

Some Honors Societies including: Phi Kappa Phi, Order of Omega, Omicron Delta Kappa.

I currently work at a law firm as a runner.

Contributed Research to a professional presentation/Publication.

2 LOR's deal with EC's and leadership while maintaining academic success 1 deals with purely academic performance. A final is a weak letter dealing with academic performance. I will send both academic letters and one EC letter to each school that I apply to.

Personal Statement isn't anything special at all.

Diversity statement is ok for a white middle class kid.

Why Penn deals mostly with the various programs I like Statement of purpose talks about interest in appel-lit, pub policy, and corporate law and ties them together.

Why NW is about location, job placement, and corperate training.

Why Mich is about cross-dis approach and some programs that interest me.

Wrote seperate PS and DS for Boalt.

Stanford is an expanded DS

I wrote a school specific essay for duke that is similar to my SOP that I gave to LOR writers and then expanded to be Duke specific.

I spoke with my pre law advisor  and he said that all the Ivys (including Cornell) were a stretch along with Chicago and a few others.  I hope he is wrong.  UPDATE:  Guess he was wrong.

Sent Date:  Date I finished with the Application on LSAC and clicked "Checkout" the final time

Received:  The date the school ordered my report from LSDAS or contacted me to inform me they received my application.

Complete:  When the school contacted me to tell me my package was complete.

Decision:  When I found out.

Scholarship awards represent three year totals.

Freak Out Alert:  I just realized I sent every school asking for a diversity statement a diversity statement that had a typo in the last paragraph.  Any chance they will be skimming by that point?

Harvard:  Please please please let me in.  I would pick you over those other schools in New Haven and Palo Alto in a second.

10-20-06:  Complete at Duke.  This means I should have a decision by the first week of November.  Hopefully its an accept and I can rest easy knowing I can go to a top law school.

10-25-06:  I was bored today so I started calling schools that I thought I should be complete at.  I have no idea when I went complete at IU-B, but today I found out for sure so that is the date I will use.  Also IU said they aren't issuing decisions till the end of January, I wonder how true that will be.  Notre Dame also said I was complete.

10-27-06:  This morning I received an email from the director of admissions at Duke informing me that they had mailed my admissions decision.  This Priority Track program is awsome, had I not slacked off I would have had a decision by the end of October.  It makes me feel greedy and want all my decisions sooner.  Hopefully this one will be a good one!

10-30-06:  Accepted to Duke today, details to follow.

11-3-06: Received the email from Toby Stock saying he wanted to call about my application.

11-8-06:  Received a phone call from Toby Stock, Director of Admissions at Harvard law school.  He asked what I am doing this semester and clarified some things on my resume.  I don't think it went that well.  We shall see!

11-10-06:  GULC Letter today.  A plain creame envelope with Georgetown on the top left and a neat seal on the bac.

10-18-06:  Status checker at Michigan changed to "decision"

11-20-06:  Received (and missed) a phone call from Boalt Hall today.  Called back and was informed of my admission.  They also sent an email to follow up offering to pay up to $350 of a plane ticket.

11-21-06:  Accepted at Michigan.  Large white envelop with a CD, Postcard, letter from the dean, file folder, and administrative paperwork.

11-21-06:  More importantly, at 1:45 today I received a call from Toby Stock from Harvard admitting me into the HLS class of 2010!  I didn't answer the phone but he left a messege saying materials were on the way.

12-9-06:   Harvard acceptance packet and 3 DVD's came, Cornell notified me of my acceptance by mail along with an opportunity to apply for the deans scholarship, and Duke law school sent me notification of selection for their dean's scholarship as well.

12-19-06:  Accepted by Penn, notified with a phone call from the director or recruitment, no mention of money said follow up information would be mailed and emailed.

12-19-06:  Notified of admission to Notre Dame by email, said they would be mailing an admissions packet.  I will be interested to see if there is a fellowship offer.  If there isn't I may withdrawl.

12-23-06:  ND package in the mail including a 20K/year fellowship assistance offer.

1-1-07:  Got back to school, checked my mail and received an acceptance package from IU-Bloomington with a 46K scholarship offer contingent on maintaining standing in the top third of the class.

1-06-07:  Letter from UIUC received in a big envelope, offer of a full tuition scholarship.

1-12-07:  Letter from U Va notifying me of acceptance and consideration for dean's scholarship, stated I will find out about scholarships in March.

1-19-07:  Phone call from University of Chicago asking me to call them back.  I missed the call and plan on returning it monday.

1-22-07:  Received a letter in a standard white envelope from the University of Chicago, notifying me of admission.  The letter does not mention money.

1-24-07:  Notified of acceptance via email, also informed that I will be notified by the scholarship committee in early February.

1-27-07:  Schools continue to actually send decisions!  Received a package from Columbia containing information about the school in a folder with an acceptance letter on top.

1-30-07:  Received a scholarship offer and notification of acceptance from Northwestern.  The terms:  40K/year if I defer until next year and spend the year gaining professional experience.

2-5-07:  Received offer to apply for the Dean's scholarship at GULC, too little too late.

- MITEngineer

thanks
Tuesday, September 05 2006 at 06:30 PM

for the good luck. i might take your advice and apply for the sake of bargaining power, but i hate the thought of spending money on schools i'm not too interested in attending. however, a couple fee waivers would more than persuade me to apply. i guess we'll wait and see. best of luck to you this cycle. your numbers look fantastic!

Thursday, September 07 2006 at 02:07 PM

Hey Cassie! So no apps went out yet? But then again, you're pretty much an auto-admit everywhere... take your time and give the rest of us the advantage of "applying early!" =))

Thanks. I do, however, wish I had your numbers rather than mine. Those two LSAT points could make a big difference for admission to Harvard and possibly Yale. I'm sure we'll both end up at places that we want to be through. Thanks again for your comment. Take care.

- tommyhollywood

Tuesday, October 03 2006 at 05:00 AM

If your advisor thinks it's a "stretch" for you to get into Cornell, he should probably start looking for other work.

Nice Numbers!
Tuesday, October 03 2006 at 09:10 AM

Your profile looks so strong. I am just looking into the process and waiting on my LSAT score...I took it last week...and would love if you could share any info on your fee waivers. How do I go about looking into those?

I'm going to apply to NU, sans interview. With my split, though, an (optional) interview may have helped a little bit. I think it might be worth $12 just to see what happens, though...

Thanks, Cassise! I'm sure your Harvard binder will be coming soon, along with even more acceptances. =)

"I spoke with my pre law advisor and he said that all the Ivys (including Cornell) were a stretch along with Chicago and a few others. I hope he is wrong." seriously, tell your school to fire that dude congrats!

question about ND admissions
Monday, December 11 2006 at 02:29 PM

Hey- congrats on all the great acceptances. Did you apply to Notre Dame through Early Decision? And, in any case, have they given you a decision? Thanks! Chris

Why so many?

Hey...great cycle so far. Looks like you have your first choice in your back pocket. That brings me to my question though. Why are you still keeping such an extensive roster of schools with active applications? Oh, and I think NYU must be feeling very left out LOL.

Why Keep So Many Active
Thursday, December 14 2006 at 12:39 PM

I was never big on the New York Schools. Columbia waived my fee so I applied, but NYU was not so kind. As for the long list, I figure I paid for a decision, so I want one!

It would seem that your advisor is a bit of a 'tard when it comes to law school admissions. Here's three cheers for incompetent advising! (I got into a CCN school after being told I was just wasting my money. My own research suggested otherwise. Hah. We could all probably make a bundle doing admissions consulting now...)

Are you considering $$ to Duke or another top school, or are you locked on Harvard?

Congrats on the ND acceptance!

Thank you

I would try to troll and bring you to Chicago, but Harvard has probably seduced you with their email address that nobody would ever want to give up. Congrats on a great cycle, you may very well sweep.

take all your letters to your pre-law adviser and tell him/her to shove it!

hard to say
Thursday, February 22 2007 at 02:00 PM

I visited Georgetown and really liked it, but I haven't seen their financial aid package. BU made a big splash with 30k/year, so that is very enticing. I assume I could get similar money from BC, which would put them back into the picture as well. I'd say those are my top three at the moment. I'm still waiting on Michigan (again, not sure if I want to take on 120k+ in debt) and the aid packages from elsewhere. Do you think I'd be crazy to accept nearly full tuition from BU/BC over nothing at Georgetown? I'm from the Boston area, so staying in the area does have its perks. How about you? Is it down to Cambridge v. New Haven (potentially)?

"I spoke with my pre law advisor and he said that all the Ivys (including Cornell) were a stretch along with Chicago and a few others. I hope he is wrong. UPDATE: Guess he was wrong. " What is it with prelaw advisors and saying things like that?

- drv208
