Additional info & updates

All scholarships are totals for each school year.

12/6: So excited about W&L! Did not expect such a quick decision, amazing response rate. I am grateful to make it into the top 30. W&L is a wonderful option for me and a great first school to be admitted to. So hopeful about what comes next.

12/19: AMERICAN! So happy! I would love to be in DC, so this is great news. I'm also applying for their PIPS program.

1/4/12: Rejected from Georgetown. I was at least hoping for waitlist, but I knew it was a huge reach with my LSAT score. Oh well, maybe it wasn't meant to be. Still so excited to hear from more schools.

1/6/12: Admitted to UC Irvine!! A definite honor. I've heard so many amazing things about this school. Irvine will be a major consideration moving forward.

1/9/12: Rejected from UC Berkeley...*sigh*, I was really hoping for waitlist. Of course it's an incredible institution and enormously competitive. Congrats to all who are admitted to this amazing school. Keeping a positive outlook for what's next!

1/17: Somewhat surprised and bummed about University of Washington. I thought I had a great chance after W&L, at least for waitlist. Just goes to show you never know. Wasn't one of my top choices, but I would have seriously considered it.
Also received an email inviting to check out Syracuse's admitted students portal...even though I hadn't received my acceptance package yet. So I'm thinking that means I'm in?

1/8: Confirmed. In at Syracuse! Happy and grateful for more choices, but the weather and location is a huge deterrence. The biggest appeal is the fact they have such an amazing Master's of Public Administration program that I could dual with my JD. But overall, not my top choice.

1/19: In at Wisconsin! If I wanted to stay in the Wisconsin/Minnesota regions, this would be ideal, but I'm liking my other offers more since I hope to stay in Cali or DC, closer to the coasts at least. Definitely an amazing school though.

I am deciding between UCI and American currently, but UCI is giving me every reason to say yes! I love much of what American offers, but I don't know about financial aid yet, and D.C. is amazing but super pricey. Hoping for the best. Either school is a great opportunity though. Thanks so much for your support, and good luck with your cycle!
