(All notes below go from most recent to oldest)
----------------------------------------------
--6/6: Visited LC and UO. After much thought and consideration, I will be attending Lewis & Clark Law School this fall!

--5/16: Rejected from UC Davis, actually forgot about that application.

--5/8: Declined my acceptance to Denver Law--no scholarship funds available, and they do not foresee any for the remainder of the summer.

--5/5: Accepted at Denver Law via phone call. Very happy, but no scholarship offer at the moment. Going to try and negotiate; if no offer, then I will not be attending.

--5/1: Oregon offered $10,000 per year, plus an addition $10,000 grant for the first year. A nice handwritten letter from the Dean as well. Game changer.

--4/30: Lewis & Clark doubled scholarship.

--4/30: Rejected at UNC - couldn't care less at this point.

--4/30: Accepted at Oregon Law via email. Scholly/Fin.Aid info to come.

--4/14: Accepted at Lewis & Clark! Quick turnaround, accepted less than 12 hours after submitting my LOCI. Stoked.

--4/14: LOCI's submitted to WL schools

--4/10: Submitted a new LOR to Pending/Waitlist schools

--6 months since submitting my app at UNC and no word on a decision.

--Sending in LOCIs to UMN, DU, UC and L&C soon.

--A BIG shocker to get waitlisted at L&C. Was a top choice for me and had great talks with the people. Glad to be on the waitlist.

--Not in at UW - got the late email saying they would waive my fee if I applied, knew their numbers were down this year, had a bit of hope that there was a chance. Not upset with the decision, apparently a lot of issues there.

--Decided to do late applications to Washington, Oregon and UC-Davis, all top choices in my mind. We'll see what happens.

--Bummed to get a rejection from Hastings, had hoped for at least a waitlist given that their acceptance range went as low as 141. Was a top choice.

--Expected rejection from Columbia (dream school, maybe transfer after 1L??)

--Very pleased with a waitlist from Colorado. Like UMN, was expecting to get a rejection. Now T#1 with UMN.

--Vermont offered $20,000/year with GPA requirement for 2L, 3L.

--Very disappointed at the rejection from UMD. Went there for undergrad, two LORs from UMD profs (one of which went herself and is a visiting prof). Was my number one. Moving on.

--Nice admissions package from Pace, $28,000/year with GPA requirement for 2L, 3L.

--Not surprised at the rejections from Harvard, Berkeley and Georgetown.

--Another in at a safety school - this time Vermont.

--Wasn't expecting to get in at Minnesota, stoked to still be in play on the waitlist!

--Was hoping for an acceptance at Denver, had great talks with admissions officers - nonetheless excited that there is still a chance.

--Accepted at Pace, safety school, but glad to be going somewhere.

Sorry for the late response regarding your question about UO. Congrats on the pretty nice package they offered you. Do you know where you are going yet?

Congrats on Denver snagging you off the WL.. praying I'm next on that list!!

Thanks, it was certainly a sigh of relief. They were one of my top choices from Day 1. However, it seems like they are out of scholly $$. Will try and negotiate, but if they don't offer anything, it will be hard for me to justify paying full price, which would be a shame since I really like the school/program.

Thanks for getting back. Still haven't decided, really tough choice for me. LC and UO are pretty much tied and I am not sure how to make a decision haha.

I am a similar applicant for 2014-15 cycle. Your remarks were very informative.
