Way to get that LSAT up! I'm pulling for ya :)

Thank you so much @Ndire5000!

When did you submit your applications during the 2015 cycle?

@doe37107
Saturday, December 13 2014 at 07:40 AM

I submitted in late December, but they didn't go complete until January whenever I received my LSAT score

Wednesday, January 29 2014 at 10:19 PM

Oh okay. I'm looking to have my applications in within the next couple weeks. I'm worried about my LSAT score though :/

You don't plan on retaking? You have a really great GPA!

@polinter
Wednesday, January 29 2014 at 10:19 PM

Thanks. And no I'm not retaking it now. I scored higher than I was averaging on practice tests, so I want to stick with it. I'm not a good standardized test taker. I'll be including an addendum to explain my history with standardized tests. I'm open to retaking if I don't get in this cycle.

Alrighty, I wish you luck! :) What are your top choices?

@polinter
Wednesday, January 29 2014 at 10:19 PM

Thanks! Good luck to you too. I would say SMU is my top choice followed by A&M. I want to stay near home haha

How soon after Baylor mailed your decision letter did you hear back?

Well actually, the status checker told me the decision right away along with the info that they had mailed the letter.

Tuesday, April 19 2016 at 06:25 PM

How did TAMU notify you? I'm currently eagerly waiting for a decision!

I believe it was on the status checker and they also mailed me
