Extra Curricular Information

Phi Beta Kappa, summa cum laude, Honor Scholar (an honor at my undergrad. school), volunteer work with high school students and at a youth camp, mentor for international students at my school

other soft factors: super-strong rec. letters from professors I knew well and I received very positive feedback about my personal statement from two Northwestern Law grads (made me feel pretty good about it :-) ); I love to write and I had a semester in a graduate writing program, in addition to having had a few essays published, so I think my personal statement was a strength of my application

ADDITIONAL INFO & UPDATES

I scored 7 points lower on the real-deal LSAT than I did on my practice (old) LSATS. I applied to about half of these schools before I got my score (I applied based on my pracitce scores; I did about 15 old LSATS, including the Oct. 2005 one), and then after I got my score I applied to a bunch more that are in my new range. About ten of these schools listed above are total reachers now.

I only ranked the schools that I think I might be able to get into. It goes without saying that many of my "unranked schools" would be my top choices if I was admitted.

"Received" dates are approximate (all were sent/received/completed around the end of December and the beginning of January)

on GMU. I have a friend who graduated from their LS and speaks very highly of his experience. Also, I can't believe the dean is calling each accepted individually. Seems like a lot of time and effort.

  • thanks!

Thanks Gemini! I'm glad to hear your friend had a good experience. Do you know what he decided to do after law school (private practice, business, govt. law . . . )?

nice gpa. i'll 95% end up at american. they have a good international program and that's what I'm really looking forward. I visted Temple, and while it isn't in the safest neighborhood, the administration there is amazing. A admissions officer took me on a personal tour of the law school and introduced me to different deans and stuff.

That are behaving so stupidly this year by Waitlisting everyone. You will bet into much better schools.

On George Mason!

- Linkin
  • If you won't be attending
  • Saturday, February 04 2006 at 01:16 AM

then you should withdraw from Marquette. Other people really want to attend.

Good point about withdrawing - will do! :-)

- jessieivy
  • thanks!
  • Tuesday, February 07 2006 at 06:12 AM

Good luck to you too - Pitt was not one of my top choices, but I'm slowly warming to it and am going to try and visit. If I don't get in to my top schools I think I'm going to strongly consider it. Congrats on GMU! (And with you on the LSAT - my actual score was about 5 points lower than my practices...grr)

  • mcbagen83 cannot follow directions.
  • Tuesday, February 07 2006 at 07:28 AM

we do have really similar numbers. i'm not sure about where i want to go yet. i'll probably wait until i hear back from some more schools before i start considering it seriously. mason is definitely in the running though!

  • gmu vs. umd
  • Friday, February 10 2006 at 09:21 AM

it probably depends what type of law you're interested in studying. im planning on going to both of the campuses to get a feel for which one i might like better

- mcbagen83
  • congrats
  • Tuesday, February 14 2006 at 09:52 AM

not sure if Loyola-Chicago is one of your top choices but they are currently accepting people off the waitlist. If you know you are not going to their school it would be greatly appreciated if you could withdraw your app. Thanks!
