LSAT
Monday, October 24 2005 at 08:00 PM

What's your LSAT? Surely, with a high GPA, you can get into some better schools than those to which you're applying.

I Am Nervous
Friday, September 23 2005 at 08:00 PM

I barley got a 1000 on the SAT, but did well in college. It sucks that one test can count as much as or more than 4 years of college. I hope I get into one of those schools (in addition to Cooley).

Re: Hey Hey Hey
Wednesday, December 21 2005 at 07:00 PM

Hey. Thanks for the comments about Nova and Barry. I have applied to both as well as Appalachian and a whole bunch of other schools but do not have it on the profile. Best of luck with your apps. We have almost identical numbers. Thanks again

WOW
Monday, November 21 2005 at 07:00 PM

With that high of a GPA, I shocked that Barry would not admit you. Do you have any idea why?

Yeah
Friday, September 23 2005 at 08:00 PM

Your not the only one...

Good Luck
Monday, January 16 2006 at 07:00 PM

Yet another person that is proof that just because you score low on the LSAT doesnt' mean that you're stupid. I hope you get into a great school :)

Hi USCitalian, I replied to you via email, but you might also want to see my post to westlie here on LSN. Good luck to you! Joan

NCCU?
Thursday, February 02 2006 at 07:00 PM

Do you...or maybe anyone else reading, know if NCCU has begun sending out Acceptances? I called the Admissions Office to be sure my app was complete, got a machiene saying that they are NOT sending out Admissions packets...?

Elon
Wednesday, December 21 2005 at 07:00 PM

Did you email Elon for a fee waiver or did it just come to you??

Charleston
Saturday, December 17 2005 at 07:00 PM

I 've heard nothing from Charleston. I was told bu the Dean of Admissions automatics were going out first and part-time would be sent out during the months of March and April. Good Luck.

Charleston Law Update
Saturday, December 17 2005 at 07:00 PM

Hey, I called CSOL on Tuesday and was told that my file was reviewed in January before my interview and there is still not a decision made. I guess this is a good thing, but I am still hoping and praying it comes through. I will do the same for you for S. Carolina and CSOL as well. Best wishes.

NCCU
Saturday, December 17 2005 at 07:00 PM

I was accepted into the regular Fall 2006 class with money. Because of my addendum and plea for only my 2nd score to be considered, my highest score was used only. What do you know about this school. Any thing would help me out.

E-Mails
Thursday, October 20 2005 at 08:00 PM

I noticed that you communicate with the law schools a lot through e-mails. I am curious of what you say in these e-mails? Any tips for me would be appreciated.

Jones
Monday, June 19 2006 at 08:00 PM

I just applied to Jones last week when I heard they became ABA accreditted. What do you think my chances are with them?

hey
Thursday, June 29 2006 at 08:00 PM

man I also had to cope with the death of a roomate during college which hindered my GPA. My major GPA is also high (3.85) and I think I was short changed with a few classes. My LSAT score the first time I took it in June 06 was a brutal 143 I ran out of time twice. I am going to re-take it again. Best of luck.

Hey
Friday, September 23 2005 at 08:00 PM

It was my grandfather.

NCCU
Thursday, February 02 2006 at 07:00 PM

Hey, were you just recently put on the NCCU waitlist? I ask because I have been since early May and haven't heard a thing. I'm not sure if more ppl on the list is a good or bad thing. Do you have any info or were you given a date as to when you might hear? They told me July...Congrats on your acceptances so far and good luck on your waitlists! Thanks.

This Fall
Sunday, July 16 2006 at 08:00 PM

Do you have any plans on attending any of these law schools this Fall? I am hoping to get in Jones or Dayton. I don't think I have a good shot at Dayton, so hopefully Jones comes through. Do you have any interest in attending there this year?

Cooley
Monday, June 19 2006 at 08:00 PM

They said that they rejected me because of my criminal record. All I have is a few misdemeanor PI's. They told me to not even apply again for another 2 years.

Where
Wednesday, August 16 2006 at 08:00 PM

Do you plan on going? NCCU is a solid school from what I hear. Are you planning on going there?
