Additional info & updates

*All scholarship amounts are over 3 years*

11/7/07 - I'm anxiously awaiting confirmation that my application files are complete. Loyola has everything, now I'm just waiting on the others. I'm really hoping that my soft factors and being a WI resident will help overcome some pretty mediocre numbers.

11/13/07 - Sent in application to Oregon yesterday. It's going to be a long, painstaking wait until those notifications come!

11/15/07 - Checked my PO box yesterday, thinking perhaps Marquette would have sent something. They did alright...a postcard saying they have received my application! haha...more of the waiting game!

11/29/07 - Called Marquette to check and see if the y had reviewed my application, only to go to the post office later and find that not only had they reviewed it, they offered me admission! First one! Woooo hooo!

12/06/07 - Called SLU because I hadn't heard peep from them. Turns out I'm complete and should be heading to committee soon.

Complete everywhere. More waiting....

12/12/07 - In at Loyola!!!!

12/17/07 - Just got a follow-up email from Loyola, reassuring me that I have been accepted. Apparently, the mail is backed up with the holidays and all, so it was pretty thoughtful of them to send that out to all of us paranoid applicants...Merry Xmas everyone!

12/20/07 - Congrats to those who got accepted at UW!

01/08/08 - Still no correspondence from SLU, so I called to check what has been going on. They said a decision has been made on my application and I should be hearing soon. Checked my mail later that day and, boom, there was a big white envelope with good news!

01/15/08 - I'm not sure, but I think I'm in at Denver. The status checker, which had previously only allowed me to check application status, is now allowing me to register for classes and make payments....but who know, probably just wishful thinking.

01/18/08 - In at Denver via email! Very exciting, 4 for 4! Hopefully I'll hear from UW next week...the wait continues!

01/23/08 - $15,000/yr. scholly from Denver via mail! Very excited about this development!

01/23/08 - (later that day) IN AT UW!!!! MY DREAM SCHOOL CAME THROUGH!!!! GAME, SET, MATCH!

Thanks for the message! I hear UW-Madison is a hidden gem. I would love to go there. I really hope you get in! I think your soft factors + numbers will go a long way. Keep me posted!

go for it...
Monday, September 17 2007 at 08:00 PM

I hear ya - if you have a dream of UW GO FOR IT! However, for $30 and a quick acceptance and re-assurance that you will go somewhere for sure up front, FSU is VERY worth it! HOPE YOU GET IN EVERYWHERE! KEEP ME UP TO DATE AND BEST OF LUCK!!!!

Good Luck
Thursday, April 26 2007 at 08:00 PM

Good luck on your cycle, hopefully UW gives you the nod! Too bad it looks like they don't send out decisions til late December :(

Good luck!
Wednesday, October 24 2007 at 08:00 PM

Thank you for the message. We have a number of the same schools, so i'll be stalkin' ya!

thanks
Saturday, November 10 2007 at 07:00 PM

Thank man. Ya....another 3 years at UW would be nice...

Denver
Saturday, October 06 2007 at 08:00 PM

They send you an email with a link to an online status checker. I have been emailing back and forth with admissions because the website said I was incomplete and they said they were a little behind and should be caught up by the end of the week. I am really hoping for DU as I want to be in Colorado big time. Good luck dude, if you get into UW maybe you can loan a GPA point.

Hey
Wednesday, May 10 2006 at 08:00 PM

Good luck to you! I hope you do well.

Marquette
Thursday, April 26 2007 at 08:00 PM

Yeah, that postcard is great. Especially getting it a day or so after I got my acceptance letter. Why the send it out a week+ after you go complete, I have no idea.

thanks
Sunday, October 21 2007 at 08:00 PM

Thanks for the message. Looks like we're pretty similar on the stats. You've got good EC's. Best of luck!

hey..just wanted to let you know that DU has a great public interest scholarship that is full tuition..

Thanks for the kind words
Thursday, October 05 2006 at 08:00 PM

Good luck to you!

Thanks
Friday, February 02 2007 at 07:00 PM

Thanks and I would imagine that your Marquette acceptance is on the way! Hoping that my work experience will help me with the Badgers, but I know it's a long shot!

.
Thursday, October 18 2007 at 08:00 PM

Hey, thanks for the wishes, best of luck to you too! St. Louis sent me an email, but it took them all hell and a half to get around to that email. I'm sure you'll be fine :-)

personal statement
Friday, February 02 2007 at 07:00 PM

I tried to connect Russian experiences with becoming a social worker, interest in juvenile justice/public interest, ironman training/competing and leadership exp. within non-profit. It took numerous drafts, but I was ultimately pleased with the result!

Thanks!
Saturday, November 24 2007 at 07:00 PM

I heard from Marquette around November 9th, and I applied around mid October. Good luck, and please keep me posted!

Congrats!
Wednesday, October 24 2007 at 08:00 PM

Congrats on Marquette! Do you have any idea when UW begins notifying?

Marquette
Thursday, April 26 2007 at 08:00 PM

Congrats!

yes!
Thursday, April 26 2007 at 08:00 PM

Definitely is. I'm seeing lots of people getting calls from UMN this week, and I haven't gotten one. That makes me worried again!

Marquette
Saturday, November 24 2007 at 07:00 PM

Congratulations!

nice
Saturday, October 06 2007 at 08:00 PM

Congrats on Marquette. First admission must feel good. Good luck with Wisky too.

Loyola
Wednesday, October 24 2007 at 08:00 PM

Hey, i noticed your question about notification. I received an e-mail that told me that they don't anticipate sending any decisions until after winter break, but if your file went complete before Dec 15th then you will hear back before Feb. 15th. Hope that helps! :)

Marquette
Friday, June 08 2007 at 08:00 PM

Congrats on your acceptance! I was wondering...when you talked to the admissions office and asked about your application what would they tell you. All I was told was, "You should be hearing from us very soon..." I have a feeling that is not good!?!

Loyola
Friday, February 02 2007 at 07:00 PM

The dean called me to congratulate me on my acceptance and a letter is to follow. I would imagine yours is on the way. I have my grad. degree from Loyola, so I would imagine that helps!

Yeah...
Saturday, October 20 2007 at 08:00 PM

how did you know? I didn't go to school there, but I realized over Thanksgiving how much I miss it sometimes!

Loyola
Wednesday, November 21 2007 at 07:00 PM

Thanks for the congrats! I completed at Loyola on 11/21/07

Thanks!
Thursday, October 11 2007 at 08:00 PM

Thanks for the congrats! Yea it feels nice to be wanted : ) I imagine with your extras you have an excellent shot at your number 1 choice! Good Luck!

Loyola
Thursday, October 05 2006 at 08:00 PM

I went complete on 10/25/07

thanks
Thursday, October 25 2007 at 08:00 PM

saw your message. where did you play ball?

congrats
Wednesday, November 28 2007 at 07:00 PM

Congrats on Marquette! I hope to hear from them soon. GO BADGERS!

Thanks!
Thursday, April 26 2007 at 08:00 PM

Thanks for the congrats on MN. I was excited to get 10k/year too. I am still trying to tell myself I must not get in state there or something if I get that much $$$. Oh well! I saw UW sent out a decision to someone on LSN today. Hopefully we find our letters in our mailboxes soon!

ehh Up Front
Monday, December 10 2007 at 07:00 PM

I broke down and became a member. GL with Madison...you will be money. Just get the job done...

nope
Thursday, October 25 2007 at 08:00 PM

no i did not play. just wondering if you may have palyed on the UW-Whitewater temas....and couldn't think of what school you were calling a lib arts school in the uw system. good luck

Loyola
Wednesday, July 25 2007 at 08:00 PM

I went complete 11/13. Good luck this cycle

Thanks!
Saturday, October 20 2007 at 08:00 PM

I will withdraw from UW Madison asap! I hope it all works out for you!

Thank you!
Saturday, November 24 2007 at 07:00 PM

Congrats on Loyola!

UW
Thursday, April 26 2007 at 08:00 PM

Man, do they want us to wait forever?!!

Haha
Thursday, April 26 2007 at 08:00 PM

Yeah, those emails were amusing. I ended up getting a snail mail letter. It was dated Dec 3rd and postmarked Dec 13th. Not really sure what made it took 10 days to actually get it sent, but whatever. UW email systems either selectively blocks WUSTL emails or WUSTL hasn't quite figured their system out yet... And hopefully UW gets it together soon...

Leaning towards..
Thursday, April 26 2007 at 08:00 PM

MN right now. Reciprocity + 10k/year is very attractive. I've enjoyed my time at Madison quite a bit, but I definitely think I need to see another campus for a few years. I'd be more than happy with pretty much any school on my list. I love the midwest, and I'm unsure if I can see myself leaving the region. The only schools outside the midwest I even applied to are Berkeley, Cornell, and UT. Even if accepted to one of those, it would be a tough region to leave! Any preferences yourself? 2 in the bag and I'm sure there will be a few more soon enough! (especially if UW gets on it soon)

Thanks, guy
Thursday, July 19 2007 at 08:00 PM

for the nice message. Where did you teach with TFA? I was in Houston, and since leaving, I've noticed that it's a small world for TFA alumni. . .

Whoops!
Thursday, July 19 2007 at 08:00 PM

Sorry, didn't catch your question in time: the acceptance letter came through the mail.

UW...
Thursday, April 26 2007 at 08:00 PM

Speak of the devil...it came today! By mail as mredison pointed out! (Mailed Dec 17th, arrived Dec 19th...2 days for 2 miles of postal work? haha)

Same as you
Thursday, July 19 2007 at 08:00 PM

2005-2007

UW
Thursday, April 26 2007 at 08:00 PM

I bet they sent yours in the first batch too! You just aren't two miles away :)

MN
Thursday, April 26 2007 at 08:00 PM

I think it's just over $20K/year in-state (which Wiscy residents get..). That's a bit more than UW, but UW doesn't seem to offer much in terms of merit $$$.

UW...
Thursday, April 26 2007 at 08:00 PM

TOMORROW!!

NU
Thursday, April 26 2007 at 08:00 PM

I don't have any work experience. So I figured they were way out of my league. I really had planned on applying, but alas, it's a bit too late now. I'm almost glad I didn't...a friend is there for a MS/possible PhD program and doesn't like the campus as much as UW. A friends sister also goes to UG there, and she doesn't enjoy the atmosphere. Who knows? Have a safe trip to Wisconsin! What part of the state are you from? Milwaukee area here...

UW

Thanks! Good job with LUC...is UW-M your first choice?

Good luck
Monday, August 20 2007 at 08:00 PM

Good luck with UW-Madison. Looks like we have pretty similar numbers. I'm really hoping that you get in because that means that I will have a good chance to get in and that is where I want to go. We should be hearing back from them soon.

SLU
Sunday, November 04 2007 at 07:00 PM

Any idea where you'll end up?

UW
Thursday, April 26 2007 at 08:00 PM

Oh! Good luck! I've been checking your list every day. No news on my end. Waiting for another LOR (been almost 3 months, so I've about given up), that I MAY need to go complete at Boalt and Cornell. Would suck if that kept me from knowing. Not really sure if I would go to either, as I kind of enjoy the Midwest, and staying here seems like a fun idea. A Texas accept would be sweet, though.

Envelope
Thursday, April 26 2007 at 08:00 PM

was small, white, and had 2 sheets inside. Was kind of scary! Good luck, being a WI resident w/ your stats better get you in!

Congrats on Loyola... and Good Luck on U
Thursday, October 05 2006 at 08:00 PM

I think you will get into UW-Madison. We are nearly identical in stats.

Thanks!
Saturday, November 24 2007 at 07:00 PM

And congrats on St. Louis!

UW-Madison
Thursday, October 05 2006 at 08:00 PM

No, I am not a Wisconsin resident. However, my soft factors included: - Upward trending GPA - Very Strong Personal Statement - Visited the school (which I think is huge) - Solid work experience - Ho-Hum leadership/involvement

TFA
Wednesday, November 21 2007 at 07:00 PM

Good luck, fellow TFAer!!

UW
Wednesday, October 10 2007 at 08:00 PM

Thanks - best of luck with UW. They seem to be sending out more decisions now, so hopefully you'll hear back shortly. FYI, it was a small envelope. :)

Thanks!
Sunday, October 07 2007 at 08:00 PM

UWM looks like a great school and I'm pulling for you!

good luck!
Tuesday, January 08 2008 at 07:00 PM

good luck on your cycle! Went there for undergrad and would love to go there for law school as well!

Denver
Tuesday, November 27 2007 at 07:00 PM

Hey, Thanks for your comment! Denver sent me an enthusiastic acceptance by mail with an invitation to Admitted Students Day in March. I'm not sure if I'll go though, we'll see what develops. Have you visited Loyola? If so, what are your thoughts? Good luck on your applications!

UW
Thursday, April 26 2007 at 08:00 PM

They just want to keep you in suspense!

UW
Wednesday, October 24 2007 at 08:00 PM

Yes, i also heard that they are a little behind....boo! What are your top choices so far? Congrats on Loyola- i hate being WL-ed. I'm crossin' my fingers for ya at UW!

WI
Sunday, September 02 2007 at 08:00 PM

Hey man you found out they are mailing your decision today? I called a couple days ago and they said I was still in committee (went complete 10/30/07)...unreal. I'm just hoping our WI residency helps us out...good luck.

TFA
Saturday, November 24 2007 at 07:00 PM

Hey, can UW please send mail to either of us please? I was a 2005-2007 Las Vegas corps.

what type of correspondence did u get from the denver? can you check application status online? do they give you login and password? i only got my unversity id..um

Sunday, November 04 2007 at 07:00 PM

Loyola's a hell of a school, but my heart's set on SLU. Good luck!

DMC??
Thursday, December 13 2007 at 07:00 PM

I did quasi attend DMC last year. My role was more like wandering around and handing out club passes/coordinating logistics rather than being in sessions though. Are you applying to any schools you are not tracking? Have been bombarded w/ phone calls & emails linked to TFA asking you to apply?

Way to go! And, congrats on the scholarship to DU! What a great cycle!

DU
Wednesday, October 17 2007 at 08:00 PM

Definitely leaning toward DU. I have been out of school for six years now, and own my home so relocating is not too appealing. Plus I hope to practice in Denver. We'll see what happens...(hopefully sooner than later!!)
