given your numbers, you've got to be kidding with your choice of schools
Monday, September 28th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
No. Not kidding. I'm gonna go big or go home.
Apps Tuesday, September 29th, 2009 at 10:09 am
Yeah, it does feel good to have most of them in! Good luck on yours!
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009 at 7:18 pm
Whoever wrote that is a big jerk. Those are not bad numbers and you have a great shot at Northeastern. Good luck! : )

"No. Not kidding. I'm gonna go big or go home"
Totally with you on that one; that's why I'm waiting 'til I feel ready to take the LSATs. Good luck!

Hi! Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010 at 3:54 pm
Hey there. I hope you have a GREAT cycle! Ignore all of the haters. You'll get into a great school!
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010 at 3:35 pm
Congrats on American! I'm waiting for them too, and based on your results and a few others on this site, I actually feel like I have a chance :)
Thanks! Sunday, February 28th, 2010 at 4:44 pm
I will most likely being going there unless something unexpected happens! How about you?
i feel you Monday, March 1st, 2010 at 11:39 am
i've been living in Boston my whole life up through college. so going to school in DC will be great! i also heard its the perfect spot for young professionals, especially for us brothers. did you got to school in boston, too?
boston Monday, March 1st, 2010 at 1:06 pm
i went to BC and I'm telling you right now, even though it's closer to boston than western, mass, it's not boston. that being said, it's a nice, intimate community but you'll grow tired of it quite quickly. BU is more in the middle of the action!

I will be attending the Boston Alumni Reception this upcoming Sunday. I'm excited for the opportunity to speak with alumni and learn more about the school for their perspective. I'm especially curious about how they fare, given this economic climate.
I work in a small law firm. the attorneys here mostly handle immigration law, loan modification, accidents, etc. I'm learning plenty just by shadowing the attorneys and seeing which partners/associates handle business and what they do to succeed and whatnot. it's been an invaluable experience. it's certainly not like traveling to 20 different countries though LOL!

Looking at your profile makes me want to call up American and ask them what the hell is taking them so long to decide for me...did you include a diversity statement? Being from the DC area, American is a much much better choice for school over Howard, so don't worry about getting waitlisted there. All the schools around here are close (GMU, GU, GWU, HU, CU) so the networking opportunities are the same wherever you go. what kind of law do you want to practice?
Monday, March 8th, 2010 at 5:00 am
Come to American! You will not be sorry, trust me.
American Wednesday, March 10th, 2010 at 2:46 pm
Yes, at this point, it's the highest ranked school I've been accepted to and I have heard a lot of good things about it and I have family there. So right now it's my top choice. How about you?
going big Wednesday, March 10th, 2010 at 3:38 pm
i too am going big--or going home.
U of R Tuesday, March 16th, 2010 at 9:02 pm
Congrats on U of Richmond! Great School, hopefully I can join you there in the fall!
URich Thursday, March 18th, 2010 at 5:24 am
Can you please withdraw from Richmond? I doubt you will be attending since you are in at American. Thank you so much.
URich Thursday, March 18th, 2010 at 11:26 am
Fred, I'm not going to withdraw from Richmond yet. I am waiting on scholarship info that may come in the mail.
U of R Thursday, March 18th, 2010 at 2:58 pm
And scholarship info came in today for URich. $5K/yr. More financial aid info may come after April 1. I won't withdraw before that.
Thanks Thursday, March 18th, 2010 at 2:58 pm
Hey man, thanks for the congratulations. Sorry that is has taken me so long to respond, it has been a very busy semester. Even though I got into BU, I am having a really hard time turning down the offer made to me by Chicago-Kent. It is really enticing. Have you come any closer to making your decision?
Re: Top Choice Saturday, March 20th, 2010 at 3:22 pm
So far, its gotta be Seattle. Going to visit this week so it could be make or break. Still waiting on the rest of the east coast schools though..
American! Sunday, March 21st, 2010 at 10:09 pm
I hope you don't make the mistake of not taking the American offer.
Congrats Wednesday, March 24th, 2010 at 12:30 am
Richmond is a rip off. Take a look at the job prospects. They are the 5th best law school in the state! I see them dropping to 3rd tier soon.
Sunday, March 28th, 2010 at 7:33 pm
super jealous you got into American and I got waitlisted...oh well, I'm doing all that I can go to get off that waitlist and into the school!!
yea Tuesday, March 30th, 2010 at 5:38 pm
most likely...you?
Thanks! Wednesday, March 31st, 2010 at 3:22 pm
Congrats to you on your acceptances! Good luck with the rest of your cycle!
American Wednesday, March 31st, 2010 at 8:20 pm
Nah, I finally narrowed it down to just Vermont or Lewis and Clark. Environmental law took precedence, and I went to the Admitted Students day and just wasn't as impressed. I am going to miss being in DC, but glad I won't have that distraction. The library at AU is tiny! And the cost is outrageous!
AU-WCL Thursday, April 8th, 2010 at 10:31 pm
Congrats on your cycle so far. As for AU-WCL, I am seriously thinking about it. It is in my top two. How about you?
Thursday, April 22nd, 2010 at 5:17 pm
Hey im considering American unless I get into Cardozo or Cornell. If neither of those things occur, it looks like we'll be classmates in D.C.
Tuesday, April 27th, 2010 at 9:55 am
I did deposit there, still in the waiting pool at Cardozo & Cornell. I don't really like the cloud of uncertainty that still remains this late in the game. I'm excited about the prospect of living in DC and all the intl opportunities American affords.
American University Monday, May 17th, 2010 at 9:24 pm
Unless a pull a miracle at UCDavis, I think I'll be joining you at American this summer.
Tuesday, June 1st, 2010 at 7:05 pm
hey have you had an opportunity to look for housing yet? or are you planning on going to the housing conference?
AU WCL Monday, June 14th, 2010 at 3:10 pm
"No. Not kidding. I'm gonna go big or go home."
You're exactly right. Congrats and see you in DC.
