Additional info & updates

I really like the encouragement that is abundant on this site. Please throw some my way! I am a L-O-N-G shot, but I am so excited about the prospect of a change to something that I would love getting up and doing every day.

I'll be limited to these two schools, because I can't move right now with wife working.

Visited Samford today. Really like it. Library is beautiful.
I'll be starting KAPLAN LSAT Prep 6/25. Taking Test in October.

...Chickened out on Oct. Test, but took Dec. one and put in an average performance. Probably not quite high enough.

2/15: Still waiting....got all my logins from UA and Samford for the status checkers.

3/10: File complete at Cumberland. I hope they like me.

4/16: Forgot to add that I got my acceptance at Cumberland a couple of weeks ago. I'm so excited. Scared though, of the cost and of the scarcity of employment that will probably not be worked out within 3 years.

UA status checker has said "decision made" since last Friday. Judging by the timelines and by my low scores/grades, I am now certain that UA will be sending me a little white envelope. I did make a campus visit down in T-town, sat-in on a Con-Law class, and found it to be just wonderful.

4/16: Dinged at Bama today via little white envelope. Of course, I saw this coming.

Our numbers are very similar and we've both applied to Bama and Samford. I love Samford and was impressed with my visit there as well. Good luck in this cycle and hopefully we'll both be at our school of choice in the Fall.

Hey there. We applied to Samford about a week apart from one another and we're both "splitters". Are you under review there yet? Good luck with everything:)

I couldn't be more pleased! Do you know when you'll hear something from them? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you- there's no way I would have made it out of AU with an engineering degree!! LOL! Best wishes to you:)

Congrats on Samford, but sorry about Bama. I'm still waiting for a decision from them, but barring a miracle acceptance, I'll see you in the Fall.
