08/06/09 - Profile for new cycle can be found here:
http://lawschoolnumbers.com/silic0nsilenceROUND2/jd

08/05/09 - The Pace Status checker changed to "Decision Mailed." Since I was told I would be called if I was accepted, I can safely assume I was rejected. Better luck next cycle.

7/18/09 - One day has felt like a lifetime since that rejection letter from Touro. This unfortunately will put my entire life on hold for a year. Job, children, housing, etc. For some reason, I can't bring myself to register for the LSAT until I hear from Pace. It's a long shot.. I need a miracle.

7/17/09 - Rejected from Touro. Why they held on to my application for so long if they were going to reject me, is beyond me. Pace will likely be a reject as well. It's my number one school, and the one I am dreaming of going to. Looks like I'm stuck for a year. I issued a transcript request to my undergraduate college so the LSAC could have my updated transcript. Looks like I'm playing the game all over again. It hurts. Touro was my safety school. I didn't think I'd be in this situation. Perhaps if I could have taken the LSAT earlier and applied earlier I wouldn't be stuck in this situation.

7/11/09 - 10 days pass with no new news. Pace's status checker still shows me as being waitlisted, and I have heard nothing from Touro. I'm in a crappy position. It seems that basically, the school's will take me only if they can't get someone better to fill the seat. Ha, sounds bleak but its true. It sucks because I really worked hard. I'll keep hoping for the best. If I get accepted, I promise them they won't regret it.

7/1/09 - I recently heard that Pace has not yet begun to move their waitlist. Can anyone confirm this?

6/23/09 - Called Touro regarding my application status. They told me the admissions committee is still reviewing it which is odd since they've had it for so long. Hopefully, that doesn't mean bad news. They're just about my last chance.

6/22/09 - Received small white envelope from CUNY School of Law. Personal letter from the Assistant Dean and Director of Admissions regretting to inform me that I have been denied. With Pace unlikely, it seems my only hope is Touro.

6/16/09 - Still alive. No word from Queens, Touro, or Pace yet. Based on the date provided by this site, I would say that my only chance is Touro. Pace and Queens are likely to comeback with the 'R' word.

5/22/09 - Bad news before vacation.. Not looking so good. Hoping for the best.

4/18/09 - Two days in a row! This time New York Law School and its bad news. Apparently, I would have had a much better chance if I would have applied earlier. Unfortunately, this was impossible due to taking the LSAT in February.

4/17/09 - Letter from Pace, my first choice. Waitlisted. I will be hoping for the best, but I am discouraged.

Hey... Wednesday, April 29th, 2009 at 6:19 pm
we applied to the same 5 schools, have identical indexes and identical responses so far.Keep your head up. It'll work out in the end. This is aha949 (my profile is acting up right now). – anonymous
Man... Thursday, June 4th, 2009 at 7:20 pm
...we GOTTA hear something soon! aha949
Yeah.. Wednesday, June 10th, 2009 at 12:31 pm
I am wearing a path out between my front door and the mailbox. Each day that I don't receive a response, I'm not sure whether to be exasperated or to take it as a good sign. I broke down and called CUNY too and heard the same thing: no decision yet. I'm not faring any better on the waitlists either. I'd just like to know how to plan the rest of my life before August. I'm registered to take the Law Preview course but can't even say what school I'll be attending yet. Oh well, I STILL have the audacity of hope: we're going to law school!Stay encouraged! aha949
By the way... Wednesday, June 10th, 2009 at 12:35 pm

still crossed for you! I hope we hear something by week's end... aha949
Just like you... Monday, June 22nd, 2009 at 3:24 pm
received REJECT letter from CUNY. Oh well, I didn't think I'd get in there. They're having some problems with bar passage rates and really want people with high LSAT scores. Ok, now we're counting down 'til we hear from TOURO. G'luck!!! aha949
Appreciate It Wednesday, June 24th, 2009 at 10:34 am
Thank you kindly... vsp07c
Yeah, it's true.. Thursday, July 2nd, 2009 at 4:16 pm
I was told by Pace this week that there hasn't been ANY movement on their waitlist as of yet. Just got off the phone w/Touro and was told by the Dir. of Enrollment, Susan Thompson, that there is no decision on my app yet...Oh, well, I PRAY that I haven't put out $1100 for the LawPreview course for naught...I am SO trying to stay positive... aha949
Re: Hang In There... Thursday, July 2nd, 2009 at 10:12 pm
I'll try (plus, I have no other choice...lol). You do the same, my friend... aha949

Hey!
I chose NYLS based on its location and p/t program's reputation.
GLuck with Pace's waitlist! tippytoe
