oscodasa (2022-2023)

Scholarships are listed as an annual total.

4/15 - And the winner is...UVa! They made a strong showing early on in my application process and I couldn't be happier to be a Hoo.

3/25 - In at Cornell via e-mail. I'm in complete shock and can hardly process it right now.

3/13 - Waitlisted at UW. Pretty surprising but it didn't matter; I had decided against attending UW prior to their decision.

2/25 - Waitlisted at Michigan. I chose to withdraw as I'm not accepting any waitlist offers, although Michigan would have been fantastic. Thanks to this decision, I more or less have my mind made up and this point.

2/11/11 - Waitlisted at UCLA. Meh.

2/3/11 - In at UNC - there's no place like Carolina!

1/28/11 - Rejected at Berkeley. It would have been unreal to be accepted but I knew my odds were exactly that - unreal. No matter, onward and upward!

1/27/11 - Put on hold at Northwestern. Kind of surprised by this as well; between NU and Vanderbilt I'm beginning to wonder if there's a glaring blemish in my applications. Still deciding if I will remain on hold or not as they keep you waiting for so long. Northwestern would have been a real game changer in my decision making process but as it is I doubt very much that I will wait until May to make up my mind about law school.

1/25/11 - Accepted at Fordham via e-mail! Extremely happy to be in at a NYC school.

1/22/11 - Waitlisted at Vanderbilt. Somewhat surprised by this but not disappointed. I am not planning on remaining on any waitlists as I am already accepted at some fantastic schools and have no desire to draw out my application period any longer.

1/10/11 - Rejected at Chicago via e-mail. No surprise there, nor any real disappointment.

1/6/11 - In at BU!!! Just got the call, delighted to be in at a school in the Northeast and can't wait to visit and check it out in person.

12/29/10 - Just arrived home from my holiday trip to an acceptance package from Lewis and Clark with a $19k scholarship offer! I'm in love with the prospect of Portland and L&C - I think they would suit my lifestyle tremendously.

12/10/10 (an hour later) - Accepted at WUSTL - I got the e-mail while I was out shopping for junk food to soothe the pain of Cornell. Very glad to be in there but Cornell still stings.

12/10/10 - Deferred to RD at Cornell. I'm really hoping they seriously consider me as it's one of my top 2 choices. Slightly disappointed but holding out hope for my re-evaluation in February, though I'm pretty sure it's slim.

12/2/10 (about an hour or so later...) - In at Georgetown! Just got the letter in the mail, so excited to be in at another T14! Dean Cornblatt added a nice note about my PS referencing specifics which was very flattering.

12/2/10 - W&M status checker changed to "Congratulations! Admit Packet Mailed" today - so excited! I loved W&M when I visited. Plus I'm excited to see if I have a scholarship offer; from what I've read, it seems W&M is pretty generous.

11/30/10 - In at Richmond through a call from Dean Rahman! Very excited about this as well. She said I will get final scholarship information relatively soon but it would look like $20k - will post numbers when its final. Also invited to apply for the Marshall scholarship which is incredibly appealing.

11/19/10 - Got the call from Cordel Faulk and I'm in at UVa! Absolutely thrilled and slightly shocked to be admitted RD this early on but who am I to question.
Also noticed that I was dinged at Texas after being in review for 3 days, which leads me to believe they may have taken one look at my GPA and auto-rejected me, but after UVa, I'm too excited to care.

11/11/10 - First acceptance through W&L! It feels good to know I'm absolutely going to law school next year :)
