----------------------------------------------------------------------

As of March 27, my cycle is complete. Perhaps I'll hear back from one of the schools that wait-listed me, but I'm not holding my breath. I sent out LOCIs. Now, I suppose, is the time for decisions:

Barring coming off the wait-list at Emory, UGA, or W&M, I think--realistically--my choice is between Kentucky and Wisconsin. The COA is relatively similar at each, though UK is slightly cheaper; but, of course, Wisconsin is ranked more highly, so that can't be ignored either. I'd rather not pay sticker price at either school, so I'm waiting to hear back from each school some word on scholarship/financial aid.

I'll continue to update throughout my decision process.

EDIT: 4/21/14: I visited UK Law and I really enjoyed my time there. They offered me a $4K/yr scholarship, though I might be able to increase that aid after the first year. So, it looks like I'll be at the University of Kentucky (unless of course I come off a waitlist somewhere and they happen to offer a little scratch to go along with it). I'm very happy with the cycle's outcome, and I wish all the best to other applicants.

EDIT: 5/23/14: Just came off the waitlist at Washington and Lee with a $20K/year scholarship. While ranked higher than Kentucky, I think I'm going to stick with my commitment to the latter. Law School Transparency shows WLU's lackluster employment prospects, which seem a bit daunting compared to UK's robust employment figures. Plus, I like Lexington (KY, that is). So, while my heart leaped at seeing the email from WLU with a really generous offer, I'll be sticking with my former commitment.
