DECISION: Date I got good news or bad news.

Numbers are percent chances, per chiashu.

(Baylor is .1, Texas is .8)

=====================================

12/12/05: Received St. Mary's acceptance in cream-colored No. 10 envelope. Letter dated 12/8. My app was sent sans PS; I e-mailed it on 12/5. No scholarship info.

12/22/05: Withdrawing from Texas Southern. Apparently I was supposed to sign a certification letter from LSAC. It's too much trouble considering I already have an acceptance.

1/13/06: Received a letter from Texas Tech telling me my application has been put in the Active Consideration category. Letter dated 1/11. A waitlist by any name is still a waitlist.

1/19/06: Received an e-mail from Texas Wesleyan informing me of my acceptance. I also get to watch a congratulatory video. I'm psyched!

1/26/06: Received LSU waitlist in white No. 10 envelope. Letter was dated 1/23. I love LSU football, but I'm going to withdraw that application.

2/1/06: Houston status-checker says "File in review."

2/3/06: Received another letter from St. Mary's in a cream No. 10 envelope. It was an offer of a $6,000 Dean's Scholarship. Letter dated and envelope postmarked 1/31.

2/4/06: Received letter from SMU in white No. 10 envelope. It informed me I was deferred. No surprise there. Letter dated 1/30 and postmarked 1/31.

2/6/06: Had an interview at Texas Tech. It went as well as I could have hoped.

2/18/06: Received rejection from Texas in white No. 10 envelope. Dated and postmarked 2/15. On the bright side, I got a Texas Wesleyan T-shirt today. Go...whatever their mascot is.

2/21/06: Status checker at UH says my decision's been mailed.
UPDATE: No e-mail. Best I can hope for is WL. Not holding my breath.
UPDATE: Got my Baylor ding in the mail.

2/24/06: Got my UH waitlist letter today. I'm still in the fight.

3/3/06: Texas Wesleyan declined to consider matching my 1L merit award from St. Mary's. My GPA is below their 3.0 threshold for merit money. Fair enough. Unfortunately...
Strike 1 -- Few OCI opportunities and relatively low reputation.
Strike 2 -- They want me to pay full sticker price when a comparable institution doesn't.
I'm still giving them a chance by going to their March 25 admitted students day. But it's going to be a tough sell for me.

3/13/06: Checked my mail after a long weekend away.
Waitlisted at South Texas. Letter dated 3/10.
IN AT TECH!!! Letter dated and postmarked 3/7. For all intents and purposes, this race is over.
Bang Bang! Get your guns up!

3/20/06: Withdrew from South Texas. Um, thanks but no thanks for the wait list offer.

4/24/06: SMU drops a speck of dirt into the honey with a message on my cell asking me to call them, because they want to ask me a couple questions.

[daydream]
SMU: Mr. Kruddler, would you be willing to accept a full scholarship to attend the SMU-Dedman School of Law?

K: Oh, I suppose.
[/daydream]

UPDATE: SMU offered to consider me for a place in their part-time program because they liked my work experience. It pained me to do it, but I respectfully declined. I'm just too far down the road to Lubbock.

4/30/06: Received my decisions from UNLV (letter 4/24, postmarked 4/25), UNM (4/21, 4/24) and SMU (4/26, 4/26). All rejections, no surprises.

5/5/06: I finished 3-5-3, just a shade under .500. I'm looking forward to law school and actually going to class this time around. Happy Cinco de Mayo!

5/22/06: I got my UH WL rejection Friday, 5/19. Make that 3-6-2.

I just read your LSD review of massive08's personal statement, and I must say, you wrote a wonderful critique. I bet your own statement rocks!

Good luck!

Best of Luck!
Wednesday, December 21 2005 at 07:00 PM

Been watching the Tech thread on LSD. We have similar numbers and have applied to some of the same schools. Just wanted to say good luck.

TXW is the Rams! Go Rams! Hopefully, I'll get to be a fan this Fall - still holding my breath on admissions. You're doing great and will surely get more good news before this cycle is over. Good Luck!

Saturday, February 18 2006 at 07:00 PM

Thanks for your wishes, I have a feeling I will be hearing from them very soon :-) That is crazy about the waitlist. I would not have expected it! Congrats on Tech!!!

TTU waitlist
Thursday, April 06 2006 at 08:00 PM

Did your TTU acceptance mention anything in particular? I'm wondering because I was deferred, and I don't see many other people that have heard anything yet. I just want an answer (preferably yes) soon.

TTU
Monday, January 16 2006 at 07:00 PM

Congrats on your acceptances! I'll probably be at TTU as well.

Congrats!
Monday, January 30 2006 at 07:00 PM

Congrats on Tech! My Cousin's husband went there for law and works in Lubbock now. They love it.

Tech/LSU
Wednesday, February 08 2006 at 07:00 PM

It's 51/49 for Tech right now. However, anything can change in the next few months. I putting my deposits at both schools and weighing my options. So what about you? Congrats on being considered on such great schools with your GPA. You must have a really good file. If you don't mind me asking, where was your undergrad? Anything interesting in your file? Have you made a decision?

good luck at tech
Wednesday, December 21 2005 at 07:00 PM

tech has some good programs and if you do well you can get a good gig on the job side being in texas and all.

SMU... sorry
Thursday, April 06 2006 at 08:00 PM

When/how did the SMU decision come? Were you applying to their PT program?

Thanks and congrats . . .
Thursday, July 28 2005 at 08:00 PM

I've been meaning to drop you a line and congratulate you on the TT acceptance. It was my number one choice so I'm a little jealous but the reality is that things have worked out well for me. I'll be going to Marquette I just haven't made it official yet. DePaul was tempting given their jump in the rankings but Marquette will much better for my family life.
