just a question. why did you not apply to more law schools? and why did you only apply to part time programs? thanks

Hi cosandiego8845, I want to go to law school in LA and the other schools I applied to were back ups. In regards to programs, I plan on continuing to work during school so the part time programs better fit my needs. Also, I didn't apply to a lot more because I wanted to apply to ones I knew I may actually attend.

congrats on your dream school Southwestern! did any of your acceptances come with any scholarship $ ?

thank you! :) no, sadly they didn't. best of luck to you in the process!

So you're saying you didn't send in anything extra to Southwestern when they gave you the option to send that essay? Can you tell me what you had to do, and what time limit they gave you? I am interested in Southwestern but haven't heard back yet. We have similar stats.

Fingerscrossed99, no, I ended up not sending the additional essay. All I did was confirm that I wanted to be put on the wait list and that I would be sending the optional essay. They didn't really give a time limit, but I would suggest sending in whatever additional information they give you the option to. I also suggest visiting and meeting with people from admissions to show your interest and dedication to attending their school. I scheduled a tour about a week after being waitlisted but ended up being accepted a couple of days prior to my tour. I still went and learned more about the school and the resources available to me in the years to come.

hello! did you really submit your application to loyola on 3/10/13? i ask because i've been waiting for a decision from my 1/4/13 submission for a while (although i know wait time varies from app to app).

ojSIMPSON, yes, I submitted it Sunday night (3/10/13) and it was processed the next day. Perhaps it's a good thing you haven't heard back just yet. What are your stats and what program did you apply to?

Thanks for the reply! I'm going crazy here with all the waiting (and paying a seat deposit for another school just in case isn't making me happy either)... but such is life. I applied to the day (full time) program. I have really strong work experience (mainly Armenian Genocide / Human Rights related work) and have overcome a lot in my life. Again, thanks for your response. Best of luck to you!

Putting down the seat deposit was a smart decision, JUST IN CASE. You sound like you have a good head on your shoulders and I hope you continue to stay involved in those activities throughout school, I'm sure you are going to do amazing no matter where you go! Good luck to you as well!

Thanks, girl! I really appreciate the support and am confident of the same for you! :D
