Additional Information

Important fee waivers: UVA, Duke, UCLA, Texas, Northwestern, Cornell

2007-11-13: In at Duke!
2007-11-21: Northwestern status check says complete; it may have gone complete earlier.
2007-12-15: In at BC!
2007-12-19: Status check at Michigan turns to "decision." Good news?
2007-12-24: Good news. Thanks for the Christmas present, Dean Zearfoss!
2008-01-18: Well, FINALLY, Cornell.
2008-01-21: In at Northwestern by email.
2008-02-05: Thanks, Cornell!
2008-02-05: That was unexpected, Chicago.
2008-02-08: Yale was still worth the application fee, even though I knew I was never going to get in.
2008-03-08: Scholarship letter from Duke.
2008-03-11: Scholarship letter from BC.
2008-03-28: Status check to decision at UVA.
2008-04-01: Waitlisted at Chicago, which was unexpected. I guess this helps confirm that, at least at Chicago, it's an LSAT/GPA game, rather than soft factors (see left). The next envelope in the mail was a donation solicitation from the Chicago alumni association. Ha.
2008-04-01: Emailed Michigan about scholarships/awards.
2008-04-02: Call from Michigan about a dean's scholarship.
2008-04-02: UVA letter arrived, waitlisted.
2008-04-05: Michigan ASW was pretty convincing.
2008-04-07: Withdrew from BC, Northwestern, and UVA.
2008-04-09: Rejected at Stanford, letter dated April 4.
2008-04-14: Withdrew from Duke and Cornell.
2008-04-17: Waitlisted at NYU.
2008-04-21: Withdrew from NYU's waitlist. Then, a few minutes later, Harvard rejection via email. Stay classy, Harvard!
2008-05-09: With less than a minute to go, a game-changing hail mary pass from Dean Perry at Chicago!
2008-05-14: The Chicago roots are calling me back.
