Congratulations on the 3 acceptances so far! I'm hoping for more for you. Villanova WL me, emailed me to check my status checker, then I told them to keep me on the WL and I sent them a LOCI.

Drake! Nice! I got WL from American too. Still early, which is your top pick so far?

Marquette is a sweet pick because it is one of the only 2 law schools in the country (other is Wisconsin-Madison ((#33))) that you don't need to pass the bar exam to become a lawyer. (This is because Wisconsin law states if you graduate from a law school in WI you are automatically allowed to practice in WI. BU, SMU, Wisconsin Madison (Waitlisted me), would be pretty sweet. Right now I'm feeling good about Texas A&M though because they are on the rise. With over 7 billion dollars in their undergrad, the 4th largest university in the country. Seems like the best from my 4 Acceptances. (NYLS, Suffolk, & Roger Williams as the other 3)

Glad to hear you enjoyed your visit to Marquette. Got this from the Wikipedia page: In September 2010, MULS opened $85 million Eckstein Hall in downtown Milwaukee. Also, the school received $30 million from Joseph Zilber, the bulk of which will endow scholarships. Maybe email them and ask if you can get in on that Zilber $$$!?
