You're a lock at Seattle. Have you considered retaking LSAT? Games are easiest to improve on. Good luck!

thanks, I've accepted my games handicap and wouldn't be disapointed to go to seattle

Thanks for the encouragement, its much nicer to hear some congratulatory responses rather than some rude rants. But thanks and good luck with Seattle and Washington, I'll keep checking for updates

Hey just wanted to wish a fellow Seattlite good luck on your apps! UW is my #1 pick as well--- hopefully we both get in! :)

No I am passing on the Gates scholarship--- it requested additional LORs and essays and I dont think I am what they are looking for. I am just praying to get admitted as a regular student!! Are you applying for it?

and best wishes for a great cycle!

I moved to Portland a few years ago and LOVE the Northwest (originally from the South). Not exactly sure where I'll end up, but having a very hard time letting go...though I suppose I can always return. Shoot. The older I get, the harder it is. Guess you like it here, too. Best of luck!

I don't suppose your enthusiasm for me regarding Michigan would have anything to do with your pending app at UW, eh? ;)

Hey, hey. Hoping to see someone with similar numbers crack UW. I'm going to scope out your page every day for a decision since you applied much earlier than me. Best wishes!

I have WA state residency so I applied in case I decide I can't afford to pay full tuition at a different school. It looks like you won't have a problem getting in, though. I'm jealous you'll get to stay in Seattle - it's one of the best cities in the country!

Congrats on Vegas! Even though you have little intention of going there, still nice to feel wanted, no?

thanks for the congrats! i'm from seattle, so i'm really excited about the uw. close to family, ocean, mountains... all very good things. i hope they send good news your way soon!

on UNLV! And here's hoping for some more good news soon!

Thanks for the congratulations. I'm glad they liked the grad degree, I'm pretty excited about the acceptance. I do know why I got the email instead of a letter. The first email said something like your application is great, we really want to admit you, but we need item X to make it official. Not the exact wording, but you get the idea. I sent them item X, and then I was officially admitted when I checked to make sure it had been received. So I counted the initial email as the acceptance, even though it was technically unofficial at the time. I have not yet received a letter in the mail. Good luck to you. I see UW is your top choice, so hopefully well be classmates in the fall!

Good luck- hope you get it soon- will be watching to see. UW is a great school, and I LOVE Seattle. But the Darrow kind of clinched it for me. Sigh. Why can't UM come to the Northwest? The weather is so much better....

and with money to boot! Congrats!

Every day I stalk your page to see if you've received your UW decision...I don't think the fact that they're holding your file so long is necessarily bad news. They've said no to a lot of people with better numbers than us and who applied sooner/later, etc. Best of luck!

I too stalk your page in reference to UW. And our numbers are very similar... More imporantly, we also went to the same school and graduated with the same degree. Our soft factors our different and I'm not from WA, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I feel your pain re: Washington. I sent my app. in early Oct and went complete the same day you did. I think we're the last ones left scratching our heads. It makes me wonder why we're so (un?) lucky -- I'm pretty much your opposite, high LSAT, low GPA. UW is my first choice, but at this point I really just want it to be over with more than anything so I can move on with my life one way or the other. Anyhow, I just wanted you to know there's someone else out there who feels your pain and/or confusion. Good luck!

Y'know, I'm with you re: your two theories. I'm leaning (hoping) toward the secondary review pile, but if the waitlist is the case, that would be really interesting. Looks like most everyone who stayed on the waitlist last year got offered a spot, whereas hardly anyone got in off the list the previous two years. Given my numbers, I would be shocked if they offered me a spot, given my numbers, but my soft factors have made for a pretty head-scratching cycle thusfar...aaaand that's the problem with them holding out some kind of hope. I feel like Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber..."what are my odds? A hundred to one?" "...more like a million to one." "...so you're saying I've got a chance!!!"

Wishing the best of luck with UW.

*Sigh* Just got my rejection letter from UW-- hope you have better luck!

Okay, your UW decision is driving me crazy too. I wish I didn't have internet access at work. I really hope I see you there next year!

WTF on BYU? you've got good numbers, and did your undergrad there? wow...

yeah if i end up at BYU it will be because of their rating and how cheap they are. I'm not all about that moral superiority bull$#!^. it'll be interesting to see how it pans out.

Well, at least now I can stop going crazy...Hopefully you'll fare better than I did!

I just have to throw in my two cents and state the obvious: you got a really raw deal from UW. They shouldn't have needed to hold out for SIX MONTHS to come to a decision like that. Talk about feeling strung along. Anyhow, I just wanted to say that I've been rooting for you, and it looks like Seattle is lucky to have you!

I got the same sort of email deal (rejection) from UW today after about five months of waiting, but Seattle U is a great school and you got money...sweet!!!

I was going back and forth about it the summer start, but I decided to go ahead and do it. I'll still be working all summer, but I think once full-time classes start I'll be happy about having one less class. What about you?

Wish I could do summer start. I'm going to be out of the country for almost a month though in July, so it's not an option for me. You?

I don't know. I lived in Seattle for two years and loved it, but the scholarship and in-state tuition is going to be hard to pass up at Wisconsin.
