*******************************************************
Cycle Updates:

12/30 - Submitted SEO application. Bid LA>SF>NY.

1/15 - Went complete at Duke. Applied under PT so I'll have a response by the 25th.

1/25 - Admitted at Duke! First acceptance of the cycle. Still waiting to go complete at some law schools. Went UR at the following schools this week: Cal, USC, NYU.

1/30 - SEO interview today. This is more like a screening interview. Have to keep them updated with LS admissions and if I'm lucky I'll get a follow up in late April.

2/3 - In at UCLA! Phone call acceptances are def. better than emails.

2/7 - No real updates. Just making a note that I went complete at Gtown on 1/22, 1/30, 2/6. Also UR1 at UPenn.

2/10 - Went complete for the 4th time at Gtown and UR2 at NYU today.

2/11 - In at NYU via the ASW page. My first T-6!

2/14 - In at GULC via mail. Was postmarked 2/10, which coincides with the last update on the status checker. Went "Complete" 4 times, didn't have to interview.

2/21- Placed on FR2 at Berkeley. Will hear back from them by 3/14 the latest. UR2 at Penn.

2/24 - Making a note that I've gone "Complete" at Cornel three times so far: 2/14, 2/18, 2/24

2/24 - Anbryce interview finalist. Interview is on 4/10

2/25 - In at USC via email. Had my interview with Northwestern today as well.

2/26 - In at Michigan via email.

2/28 - In at Cornell via email. Sorta expecting this since Cornell sends out interview invites or acceptances after a 3rd "complete". Finally UR at Chicago.

3/1 - Reflection: February was a good month. I hope March is more of the same, but I doubt it. All that remains are the YP heavy schools and the rest of the T-6. If anything March will be the month of dings and WL.

3/7 - In at UPenn via phone call! Wrote a Why UPenn.

3/11 - WL at UVA, withdrew. Not surprised since I didn't write a Why UVA and its a YP heavy school.

3/13 - In at Cal!!! As a CA native this one means a lot.

3/18 - Held at NU. Not sure if thats the same as getting WL, either way, withdrew.

3/19 - WL at Chicago. After I saw the 3rd under review update and no interview invite, I knew this would be the best outcome.

3/27 - Rejected by Harvard. No JS1. Updated my GPA to my real one. Time to start facing the reality of a June retake.

3/31 - Rejected from Yale. Meh, its Yale.

4/15 - Didn't get Anbryce. I spoke to other finalist that struck out, it seems the 62.5k is the default amount for those who don't get the award.

4/18 - 4/21 Spent these days hustling for money. More info in the box to your left.

4/25 - SEO follow up interview.

4/29 - Another SEO follow up?!?! This can't bode well, my guess is I'm a borderline candidate.

4/30 - SLS WL! I can keep dreaming a little longer. June LSAT here I come!

5/1 - Held at CLS.

5/6 - Rejected by SEO. LOL guess I suck at interviews. My cycle is quickly ending on a low note.

6/5 - Officially on the reserve list at CLS.

7/2 - Ended up not taking the June LSAT. The SLS admissions office told me they wouldn't look at June scores to get in off the WL.

7/10 - Columbia 2nd reserve.

7/28 - Columbia 3rd reserve.

8/8 - Had forgotten I was still on the reserve list at Columbia.

8/20 - I doubt SLS will call at this point, so calling it how i see it.
