Visited BC, Harvard, BU, Suffolk, Northeastern over my Thanksgiving break. Write-ups for BC, BU, and Harvard are on my blog.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

11.25.07 Decided to add more schools to my list. Also decided to take the December LSAT. Not sure how that'll affect my application cycle, especially the schools that have had my applications for a month.
11.27.07 Spent most of the afternoon on the phone with WUSTL and LSAC. Apparently, anyone who applied on Nov 2 wasn't processed correctly, for whatever reason.
01.05.08 Just got back from a 3 week vacation and got my mail. Deferred by Fordham in a little white envelope (knew about this one from the status checker "2nd evaluation"), but accepted to BC in the big white envelope.
01.15.08 Small white envelope from UH with an acceptance.
01.17.08 At dinner I get a phone call from a UH Law Prof welcoming me to the school and asking if I had any questions. I love that kind of personal touch.
02.04.08 Small envelope with a GW rejection. 1st one of the cycle, though I'm sure more are in store.
03.22.08 Large envelope with Wake Forest acceptance
03.25.08 Waitlisted at UT. I'm going to ride this one as long as possible.

Haha yah. I know I am not good enough for T14 but i am hoping I am good enough for T25 (or T28 since i like Notre Dame too). but i do need a good LSAT score as my GPA is extremely average and mediocore.

Thanks!
Sunday, March 04 2007 at 07:00 PM

Good luck with the LSAT, and don't beat yourself up until you know for sure!

lsat
Wednesday, June 20 2007 at 08:00 PM

good luck on getting the lsat score you want!

good luck!
Thursday, October 04 2007 at 08:00 PM

we have the same gpa, and i took the september lsat too (the lsat on my profile isn't real, it's just what i wanna get :) ) maybe we'll both score high!

thanks, you too
Monday, September 10 2007 at 08:00 PM

hey good luck to you too! i noticed we have a few schools in common so who knows, maybe i'll see you around next year.

Good Luck!
Friday, October 26 2007 at 08:00 PM

It looks like we'll be fighting over spots at most of the same schools. Good luck this cycle!

Hey there!
Monday, June 18 2007 at 08:00 PM

Just wondering -- looks like we sent in our UH apps at roughly the same time. Did you get notification that they'd received your application/that it had gone complete via email?

Thanks!
Monday, June 18 2007 at 08:00 PM

And good luck with your cycle too =)

GL on BC
Friday, August 10 2007 at 08:00 PM

good luck on BC!! Saw you on LSD... you're lucky you did EA, I wish sooo badly that I had done it now for BC!! My head is going to blow off having to wait til Jan/Feb/March!!

top choice
Friday, August 10 2007 at 08:00 PM

I think you have a great shot at BC....actually BC is probably my first choice at this point, but if for some reason I get an admit to Notre Dame or WUSTL (or super reach, USC or UCLA) then I'd have some serious contemplating to do. Is BC your first?? Oh and where's your blog? Id love to read about your visits...

BC
Friday, October 26 2007 at 08:00 PM

I just noticed you got into BC! Congratulations!!

Congrats
Friday, September 28 2007 at 08:00 PM

I wanted to add public congratulations Melissa. LAH is totally in the house. If we both don't end up rocking Houston, then we will rock those other schools like Reacting to the Past.

BC
Sunday, October 28 2007 at 08:00 PM

Great job with BC!

Question
Sunday, October 28 2007 at 08:00 PM

If you don't mind, may I ask how come BC is such a top choice? I go to school in the Northeast and the last thing I can imagine wanting to do is go to law school in Boston when there are other similarly-ranked options available. What appeals to you about Boston/BC? If you get into UT will you consider there? It's one of my top choices - wondering if there is anything to be concerned about in general from an "insider". Thanks for any thoughts you might be able to offer!

Information
Sunday, October 28 2007 at 08:00 PM

I don't want to bog down your comments with too much personal information etc. If you're willing to share some UT-specific info (such as housing info) I'd prefer it over e-mail where I could ask you what I'm concerned about. But, if not, that's fine! Thanks for all the information! It's so great that you're in at one of (if not the) top choices. Yay! :)

lol
Monday, June 18 2007 at 08:00 PM

Saw your comment on rrrr's page about UH. I'm just as anxious; it's one of my top choices. Good luck!

..
Saturday, April 14 2007 at 08:00 PM

Michigan is probably where I'm ending up, I'm really excited about them. Congrats again, and good luck with the rest of your cycle!

Good luck!
Friday, November 09 2007 at 07:00 PM

I applied to all of your Texas schools. Hope the cycle goes well for you! I'll be keeping an eye on your page.

Hey
Saturday, January 05 2008 at 07:00 PM

Grats on BC! Added yo9u due to similar numbers.

Friday, September 28 2007 at 08:00 PM

Only if I get to do it the fun way.......wait, is it a USPS issued one? Because if so that makes it a felony....

BC
Monday, October 08 2007 at 08:00 PM

Congrats on BC!

UH
Monday, June 18 2007 at 08:00 PM

Congrats! I'm anxiously waiting for my decision too. Did you status change online before you received your decision?

UH
Friday, September 28 2007 at 08:00 PM

I see you got your key somehow. Congrats, now its my turn to be jealous and wait.

BC
Friday, August 10 2007 at 08:00 PM

hey again! so what are you thinking for your 1st choice?? are you going to try and attend the ASD at BC in April?

BC Open House
Friday, August 10 2007 at 08:00 PM

I guess they don't officially call it a ASD or ASW... it's just a small note in the folder they sent out w/ the acceptance on the "Information for Admitted Students" page, it says there will be an "open house for admitted students on April 4th" ... w/ more info to come.

similar situation
Saturday, April 28 2007 at 08:00 PM

Yes, we certainly are in a very similar situation. I'm riding the UT waitlist for now, but I'm not sure for how long. Come July, I'm going to need to start thinking about housing at my next choice. I'm having a tough time deciding between UH and Colorado right now. I'm assuming you received the UH law center fellowship?? If so, have you received the letter in the mail with the details? I'm just wondering what it says because I haven't received mine. What is your next choice after UT?

UT waitlist
Saturday, April 28 2007 at 08:00 PM

According to this, UT hasn't given anyone any kind of decision since 4/10!?!?! Is the admissions office taking a month long vacation or what?!?

sooo
Saturday, September 22 2007 at 08:00 PM

where you going? BC and riding the WL at UT?
