Additional Information

3-26: Rejected at my own school. Cool?

3-24: Waitlisted at Brooklyn. Also, UF status changed to "decision in transit" yesterday. Hoping I'm not in the batch of rejections, but it's not looking too good...

3-15: Rejected from Emory. Big surprise there...

3-11: Haven't updated in awhile. Will sum it up really quickly:

Almost every decision since last post has been sent via snail mail- with the exception of Wake Forest and Cardozo. I received my decision for Wake Forest via status checker. For Cardozo, I received a phonecall from the dean of admission last week. I was offered admission to their May program. I had applied for fall so I was slightly disappointed, but still thrilled to get in at all.

Good news for some still waiting...I'm planning to withdraw from most of the schools this week.

12-28: As you can see, I've gotten into UM (via online status check followed shortly by snail mail) and FSU (via phonecall). I got my rejection letter from BC about a week ago...obviously not surprising due to my LSAT score, but I also can't lie and say a little piece of me wasn't hopeful (and staying hopeful for my other reaches). Home for the holidays, so not near my school mailbox. Will update when I hear (hopefully better) news!

10-25: Got my LSAT score back...159 as you can see. I was averaging a 161/162, so slightly disappointed...but not disappointed enough to take it again! Will start sending out applications this week.

8-15: Been preparing for the October LSAT. Beginning to fill out available applications. Will update when a little further along.

Thanks, I heard from UF via snail mail. I'm about a year and a half out of undergrad so i got it at my house. Wish I was back in school though. Kinda wasn't at least a waitlist, but hope things go better for you. GoDawgs16

How did you find out about your waitlist acceptance from Cardozo? wltyboy
Cardozo Wednesday, March 11th, 2009 at 1:17 pm
Hey there! Congrats on your acceptances! I have thought a lot about the Cardozo May program, and I know it has a lot to offer- the start date is a little soon for me! I'm leaning more towards Rutgers for a couple of reasons... such a tough decision though! Is NYC where you'd like to end up? stephplsletmein

Hey sorry I never got back to you, hardly check my comments. Yeah I got a waitlist at UF, still holding out hope but looks like I'll be heading to Tally for the fall. What made you choose UM over FSU?

Go Gators! mrcrom3415
