Email about Harvard Phone Call on 11-24-06

Did the Harvard Phone call today at 415pm (11/28/06) it was pretty short and straightforward.  Don't think it went amazingly well or that I bombed......

Received Duke email saying letter was in mail today (11/28/06)

Got into Duke's JD/LLM in International Law today.  Package in the mail with info, big glossy books, and a nice pretty specific letter....I'M GOING TO LAW SCHOOL!!!!!

HARVARD PHONE CALL AT 4:07pm (12/06).........In SHOCK.......It only hit me when I called my family.

NYU envelope today at my package room, pretty simple with a few forms and no real info (12/14)

Package from Harvard with paperwork as well as three DVDs and information that related exactly to my interests in Intl. Fin. and Bankruptcy Law.  (12/14/06)

Phone call from Penn Law during dinner tonight with voicemail saying to call them. Called back and they said I was in, that I would get an email tom., that a letter was in my mailbox back on campus, and that a big package was on its way soon.   (12/21/06)

Email me letting me know my status had changed at UVA.  Checked website and they said decision was mailed on 1/9/07

Small letter from UVA saying I was excepted and mentioning Dean's Scholarship

Columbia Package.....Nice binder but really lame that the letter was titled to "dear admitted student" and was a photocopy of a simple generic letter with no ink signature.  Kinda lame considering what Penn, NYU, and Harvard sent.

I rescind my earlier critique......multiple packages from Columbia with great material and ......  THE HAMILTON.......sadly its still Harvard for me.

Email about the Levy Scholars program at Penn (i.e. telling me about the possibility of applying for the program) 2/8/07

Have withdrawn from all but the two I haven't heard from....sent in huge $500 Harvard check and started reading The Paper Chase

Small Yale letter,  sad, somehow lessened by the fact that my HLS seat deposit has been in for weeks (4-4-07)

I got my package today, so I imagine you will get yours soon.

personal statement
Friday, December 29 2006 at 12:55 PM

we have similar numbers, although you went to a superior undergrad, I was just wondering how good you felt your personal statement was. I am working on mine and while I believe it is good I am not sure it is outstanding and I feel that I need to get my applications in ASAP. Obviously this a subjective question but let me know if you have a chance.

Did the email Toby Stock sent you say that he wanted to ask a few questions about your application? I just got my email today and although he says it isn't about problems or gaps I am now very nervous about what he will be asking me about. Let me know if you have a chance
