Extra Curricular Information

Really average soft factors- didn't seem to drag me down too much. I consider my cycle a huge success, and I am extremely happy with all of the options available to me.

I will be attending University of Kentucky Law School for free, beginning in August of 2009. I don't need anyone bashing my decision- I'm not blind, and I am perfectly capable of seeing the disparity in US News rankings... the thing is, I am a Kentucky kid, and I have zero desire for big law. As the sole Ashland Scholar for UK, I am both honored and humbled, and I can't wait to begin law school in August.

This is my last update to this page, but I will still be accepting comments and messages. Good luck to everyone throughout the rest of this cycle, and thanks for all of the help and advice.

Additional info & updates

Cycle's done... I quit updating dates, but the ones below should at least be helpful to some of you guys.

Decisions:

03/24/09- Final update. Over the past few weeks, I have received law school stuff galore. I was slightly (only slightly) disappointed with my scholarship from Vanderbilt, I was extremely impressed with my scholarship from WUSTL, and I was (and still am) overwhelmed by the opportunity to graduate debt-free from the best school within my home state. I was rewarded the Ashland Co. Scholarship from Kentucky- the highest scholarship UK offers. My wife and I plan to move to Lexington this August to begin the next stages of our lives and the first stages of me becoming a lawyer.

02/23/09- Big day- $26,000 from UK and $84,000 from Emory. Still holding out for a full ride from both.

02/02/09- Deferred at Columbia. I may stick this one out- not really sure yet.

01/21/09- Dean's Scholarship from Michigan- only requirement is a 2.0 GPA.

12/12/08- I am in at WUSTL, via e-mail today. I fear that this may be my last acceptance...

12/11/08- First bad news... waitlist at Virginia. I'm not surprised, and honestly, I wasn't going to go to Virginia anyway- still, it is disappointing. Went ahead and withdrew my application.

12/10/08- Phone call from the Dean of Admissions at Emory- I'm in. This is super exciting.

11/27/08- Letter from UK- I am under consideration for UK's most prestigious scholarship: full tuition, plus $5,000 annual stipend. I plan on interviewing in January.

11/26/08- Big package at Michigan- I'm in. I'm a little surprised, but very pleased.

11/22/08- In at Vandy! Huge package, priority mail. I am so excited!!! UPDATE: After speaking with adcomms from Vandy, I found out that I would probably qualify for a merit scholarship, but it is too early to know an amount. I was informed that I will know what kind of money I am looking at in February.

11/21/08- Snail mail from Kentucky- I'm in. Cool! Call me crazy, but the right offer would at least make me consider UK.

11/19/08- Vandy Application Status Checker has changed to Decision Sent. Good news... now I just have to hope nothing disastrous happens with the mail.

9/19/08- Accepted to Duke (Priority Track); e-mail (the scholarship package came maybe three or four days later)

Completions:

10/08/08- Complete at Michigan (This means I am complete everywhere!)

10/03/08- Complete at Harvard (status checker says "Under Review" so I am assuming...)

10/01/08- Complete at Columbia

9/25/08- Complete at WUSTL (called office to find out)

9/24/08- Complete at Vanderbilt

9/19/08- Complete at Kentucky

9/17/08- Complete at Emory (called office to find out)

9/11/08- Complete at Duke (Priority Track)

9/10/08- Complete at Virginia

yeah but for some reason you're getting more fee waivers! not cool. lol. Nothing from Columbia =( I did get the fee waiver, but no priority track at Duke. sigh.

Congrats!
Thursday, May 29 2008 at 08:00 PM

Congrats on Duke!

Wednesday, August 27 2008 at 08:00 PM

How did you go about getting those sweet fee waivers? Did you apply through LSAC for those or did the school offer them to you after receiving your app?

Woohoo
Friday, February 01 2008 at 07:00 PM

Congrats on the Duke acceptance! You have great numbers. Good luck on your cycle!

On the Duke acceptance Lucas and good luck for the rest of your cycle though of course, I'm sure you don't need it!

Thursday, October 11 2007 at 08:00 PM

Thanks, you too! Congrats on Duke.

Friday, June 06 2008 at 08:00 PM

Your numbers are obviously way better than mine, but I feel the same way about not having any debt and being torn between wanting to do something I think I love yet still wanting to be around when I eventually have kids. Good luck to you.

Hi
Thursday, June 01 2006 at 08:00 PM

I'm an Eastern undergrad. I think I wrote on your lawschooldiscussion post a while back. I see that you did extraordinarily well on the LSAT. How did you like Vanderbilt? As for me, I'll be hoping for UK, but Chase is probably going to give me close to a full-tuition scholarship, so that would be hard to turn down.

Friday, March 07 2008 at 07:00 PM

hey man, you might want to consider applying to Stanford you'd have a great shot

KY
Thursday, June 01 2006 at 08:00 PM

Well, I plan to practice here, so it only makes sense to go to law school here. I have no plans to apply to anything other than these 4 schools. I am debt averse, so graduating without debt from a state school seems to be a good decision to me. Granted, I don't have an amazing LSAT, but I am just trying to be realisitc. I think I might even want to go home to practice law, which is in a tiny KY town, so I doubt anyone is going to care where I went to school. Obviously if I wanted to work in a large firm I would apply to more. Quality of life is more important to me than money alone. Good luck with everything!

Wednesday, July 23 2008 at 08:00 PM

I had to email them for them to tell me that my application was complete.

Glitch
Friday, February 01 2008 at 07:00 PM

Hey I've run into the same glitch when changing dates sometimes. I found the only way to fix it was to delete and add the application again.

thought i was signed in, wasn't. that last post was from me.

Sunday, June 22 2008 at 08:00 PM

To the poster above- there really isn't a process. Just be registered for the LSDAS and have the numbers schools are looking for.

Thanks!
Monday, July 28 2008 at 08:00 PM

Thanks for the well wishes Lucas. I hope you great luck on this cycle as well (you've already had success with Duke!). Good luck on getting that huge scholly at Vandy! I'll arm wrestle you to see who's more debt averse ;-)

DUKE

Amazing that youre in and sooo early in the cycle.. congrats! Have they offered any money?

Friday, May 02 2008 at 08:00 PM

The dean wrote me an email asking me to call him, and then informed me over the phone. There wasn't any indication in the email of the nature of our imminent conversation. I wasn't really sure what to expect.

Wednesday, October 22 2008 at 08:00 PM

Congratulations on Duke!

Congrats!
Friday, November 21 2008 at 07:00 PM

Congrats on your acceptances and a great LSN page. Don't go to UK, Lexington is awful, haha! Take care, A Fellow Kentuckian

Congrats!!
Tuesday, January 29 2008 at 07:00 PM

Where's your update on Vandy? :) Congratulations!!!

Hey
Thursday, June 01 2006 at 08:00 PM

I got accepted to UK today! Congrats on Vandy (I saw on the other board) and good luck deciding where to go!

Congrats
Thursday, June 01 2006 at 08:00 PM

Congrats on Michigan. You just keep piling up the acceptances! So I know you love Vandy, but if you get into Harvard, what would you do? It's awesome you have those kinds of opportunities, I'm just happy to get into UK : ) It's nice to see a fellow KY public regional school student do so well.

Sunday, August 17 2008 at 08:00 PM

Early congrats on the Vandy scholarship. I hope they throw lots of money at you in February! Good luck.

congrats
Thursday, June 26 2008 at 08:00 PM

Congrats so far! Similar schools and numbers, good luck!

Wednesday, March 12 2008 at 08:00 PM

thanks, Lucas! congrats on everything (especially Michigan- i'm so jealous, lol) and best of luck hearing back from the rest! :)

Wednesday, March 12 2008 at 08:00 PM

so, according to LSN, we're going to be the only people at Emory next year! I feel special, hehe.

Virginia
Thursday, November 22 2007 at 07:00 PM

If you don't mind me asking, why do you think you were waitlisted at Virginia? You seems like you have great numbers for them. I'm waiting to hear back, so it has me a bit nervous.

Wednesday, March 12 2008 at 08:00 PM

hahaha I don't think you have to worry about me being a gunner. ;) (you also don't have to worry about me being at emory at all if they yield protect the $$$ like i've heard- we'll see!)

UVA
Thursday, June 01 2006 at 08:00 PM

I can't believe your numbers got you waitlisted at UVA. Oh well, I would go to Vandy over them anyway if I were you. Are you still thinking about UK if they give you a full ride? I am probably not going to get any money with my LSAT, but I am happy to be in and am about 95% sure I will be in Lexington next fall.

Sunday, July 13 2008 at 08:00 PM

thanks for the good luck wishes! congrats on all your acceptances! Your numbers are awesome :)

Wash U
Thursday, September 13 2007 at 08:00 PM

Congrats on the WUSTL acceptance, hopefully they'll give you enough money to entice you to come here...I suspect they'll give it a pretty good shot. Drop me a line if you have any questions about the school, best of luck with the rest of the cycle. Don't count yourself out at H or C yet, although I can't begin to understand why you're more interested in Columbia than UChicago :)

Congrats!
Monday, November 03 2008 at 07:00 PM

Congrats on your great cycle and good luck next year. Any chance you want to withdraw from anywhere. . . especially Mich? ;)

Haha thanks!
Tuesday, January 29 2008 at 07:00 PM

I can't guarantee I'd attend if accepted. Financial aid is going to play a huge role in my decision. Nevertheless, I'm incredibly excited. Also, not necessarily a clean sweep. I have some hidden apps that I'll disclose soon enough :)

Tuesday, June 17 2008 at 08:00 PM

you look to be doing pretty damn good for yourself as well. i also did mock trial! save bobbie campbell! is vanderbilt a lock for you or are you leaning toward somewhere else? that michigan scholarship is pretty sweet, right?

Tuesday, June 17 2008 at 08:00 PM

well i live in brooklyn, so i'm leaning toward NYU, but scholarship offers from duke (my home state) or georgetown (<3 DC) would certainly hold a lot of sway. holding out hope for a call from harvard, but as the days go by that hope gets smaller and smaller. come on barack, make HLS show me some love!

re: wustl
Thursday, December 11 2008 at 07:00 PM

I made a mistake by listing the scholarship money from W&L as being from WashU. I still haven't heard back from WashU about funding. PS: congrats on your acceptances!

Congrats on the Decision
Saturday, October 25 2008 at 08:00 PM

I'm sure you will do well at UK. I'm expecting some flack for choosing Iowa over Michigan.

Tuesday, September 16 2008 at 08:00 PM

ZOMG DID YOU C TEH USNWR RANKINGZ??!!1 Lol, just kidding man, congrat on the decision and the awesome cycle. I'm sure you'll love it at UK, good luck!

Grats
Saturday, February 07 2009 at 07:00 PM

Congrats on Kentucky. Wow, you had some awesome choices! but I won't hate on you for going to the best school in your home state, and debt free too!

Thursday, January 08 2009 at 07:00 PM

Dude I applaud your decision. UK is an excellent choice.
