Additional Information

11/26- laura called today from boston university to tell me i got in!!!! soooo excited hope to hear more calls soon

11/26- florida sent me a letter saying they cannot classify me as a resident for tuition....so my app isn't even being processed. It looks like its going to be too much trouble to even bother with and they are my last choice so looks like bye bye UF

12/02- So UF accepted me today , im assuming however not as a resident in terms of tuition. I guess that changed their minds about not processing my application.

12/05- Got my rejection letter today from Georgetown. Did not even think i had more than a slight chance anyways so not really a moral killer

12/24- got my official scholarship letter from UGA in the mail,16,850 residency equivalency scholarship. Not to bad but i was hoping for more.

12/24- Got my final grades back from fall, got my first straight A's to boost my gpa up to a 3.78, sent updated transcripts to law schools. Hope it helps

1/22- Vanderbilt sent my decision via online status checker. I'm 98% sure I got wait listed, but at least im hearing from another school.

1/24- Got my rejection letter from Vany. I thought I would at least get waitlisted but oh well.

2/2- Got waitlisted at George Washington today.... not too happy, my numbers were competitive but I think cutting down my ps to 500 words from over 1000 hurt my application with them. Still holding out for Emory.

2/7- In Chicago- Kent via email

2/12- $75,000 offer from Chicago-Kent

2/23- Got into Emory today soooooooooooo happy

3/23- Boston scholarship for 10k for three years...wow. now i have no idea where I'm going. Hope Emory can at least match it.

3/25- waitlisted at W&M, which is a surprise somewhat but they took too long and Ive gotten better offers so its does not really even matter.

4/11- cycle done. Going to Emory in the fall

congrats on BU and UGA.

We have nearly identical numbers and school choices, so I hope we have similar success.

I will be thrilled if I can get in BU and UGA right away.

But anyway, congrats on the two good schools right off the bat. Good luck with the reaches – Nick

Hey, congrats on all of your acceptances! I was wondering how did you hear from UF, through the mail or email? – Patrick

Congrats on UF! Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008 at 4:21 pm
You're the first person who they've admitted on here!

Did your online status show that an admissions mailing went out to you? – hristin

Soft factors? Friday, December 5th, 2008 at 10:53 pm
Congrats on your acceptances! I'm a white male from CT... decent extra-currics and all... but nothing spectacular. Did you have anything to help you out? I really want to get into BU, and I have nearly identical numbers, so I was just wondering. Thanks! And good luck! – JoeShmo
Congrats! Wednesday, December 10th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
Congrats on your acceptances so far! Best of luck in the rest of your cycle! – someonesecret
re: UNC Saturday, December 20th, 2008 at 3:27 pm
Congrats on your cycle as well, especially BU...I have my fingers crossed! I have not officially gone complete at UNC. The last email was Nov 14 and said they'd email me in the next few weeks if anything was missing. I did send in my residency form late. I'm thinking of calling them but since they seem to send their first acceptances out late anyway I imagine it's nothing to worry about. Good luck! – fanfavourite
Good luck Monday, December 29th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
Good Luck to you too, and congrats so far! Do you have a number one?

P.S. Go Gators..Miami here we come :) – FloridaGirl26

Nope! Nothing yet. Good luck with yours though! – someonesecret
Vandy Decision Sunday, January 25th, 2009 at 1:11 am
I am so sorry...I didn't realize your's said rejected. I thought you were still pending and it just said that they had sent a decision. I apologize for that misunderstanding. Best of luck with the rest of your schools! – someonesecret
GW Monday, February 2nd, 2009 at 7:45 pm
I got a waitlisted at GW as well. I guess we just have to cross our fingers and hope for the best. The way this cycle is going, GW might end up being my best bet. – Mashenka142
Wednesday, February 4th, 2009 at 2:34 am
Congrats on your acceptances!
I have no idea how good are my LORs cause I didn't read them but I think they are good. My softs are nothing great, FT Work Exp while undergrad, speak 3 languages, couple of org, etc... A little secret but my LSAT is actually a 163 (I'm just kind of paranoid) so good luck! Is Emory your first choice? – danielfgator
Congrats! Thursday, February 12th, 2009 at 7:03 pm
On chicago-Kent, that's a buttload of cash! Does that tempt you any? – Mashenka142
Congrats Tuesday, February 24th, 2009 at 1:19 pm

I only got my scholarship info this past Saturday and I only found out about the OPUS website on Friday nite and that is when I first logged in. I don't know if I was able to log in before friday.
PS, Don't freak out if you log into OPUS and don't see anything listed in the scholarship aid section. Mine is still not updated. – danielfgator
Tuesday, February 24th, 2009 at 2:07 pm
