C'mon CU! Let's see that CO resident love!!! Please please please please please let me in!!!!!!!

Additional info & updates

DU notification came by email 03/04/05 - ironic as I was denied admission to their evening PT program last year - guess that 2nd LSAT helped :)

CU - recv'd two emails from them (one in mid-Jan one in mid-March) stating my app was still pending

During last week of Feb sent in letters of further interest to top 4 schools (except USD) and a third LOR - I didn't want to be pending in committee, wanted them to check me out again. Hope it helps.

L&C letter recv'd 3/10 saying they were holding my app until they saw how many seats (if any) were still available. Could be re-reviewed in April/May

Withdrew from TJSL (03/15) - technically they have had my app for over a year (I electronically submitted in Feb 04 and they lost it so I asked to be considered for Fall 05) and still haven't made a decision.

WU in StL - no surprise there - thin envelope, single sheet giving standard - you are impressive, but not for us...

Called ASU 4/5 - found out I am in a hold status. So I emailed Dean and Director of Admissions expressing continued interest

04/06/05 - recv'd email from TJSL that I have been accepted, guess they didn't get that withdrawl email

04/11/05 - TJSL letter arrived (dtd 4/7) said I was admitted for PT evening - $11K LSAT scholarship

04/11/05 - withdraw from TJSL - again

04/15/05 - called ASU to see if a decision was made - they said yes - and it was 'no thanks'

04/15/05 - seat deposit in @ DU ($300)

04/18/05 - recv'd letter from ASU :( - i quickly tossed it

04/27/05 - called CU, heard a letter was sent Monday 4/25 that I have been offered a WL spot - I'll take it!!!

05/03/05 - email from L&C asking if I was still interested in offer of admission, if so I should let them know, if not I will be withdrawn - what to do?!?

05/03/05 - letter of continued interest to CU stating they are #1 in my heart...

05/04/05 - email to L&C expressing continued interest

05/06/05 - call to admin director restating interest (ensuring email was recv'd)

05/06/05 - LOR #4 from CEO of company I work for direct to CU saying how great I am

05/16/05 - USD doesn't want me - no big loss on my part either

05/25/05 - emailed L&C asking about application status

05/26/05 - L&C say still no decision, and it almost sounded like they may never make a decision on my app - ???

05/26/05 - called CU to ask about WL stats. About 350 spots, 2/3 indicated interest to stay on for May with June postcards rolling in already (guess I better take mine off the fridge and send it in too). Incoming class size around 165.

06/10/05 - Another letter of interest to CU (I love you CU!) and an anonymous phone call to them asking about WL movement - the response -> "sometime in August". Blah

06/28/05 - Yet another letter to CU - yes I still LOVE you please let me in. And another anon phone call that reinforced August for WL movement - if any

07/21/05 - Another letter to CU - yes I still love you, don't forget about me please!

08/19/05 - CU is full. It is official now that I will be (and am) attending DU for Fall 2005 (HOORAY!)...

I called to ask if they'd be willing to add something to my file, but she said a decision had already been made. I asked if she could tell me that decision and she did... in a way. Best of luck to you! I hope they all respond with accepts!

COmom, congrats from another CO mom. Hey, what time did you get the DU email. I am at work all day and am driving myself nuts since I don't have any email access.

Got the same letter. Good luck to you!

I hope you get off the WL. One of my friends got off the week before classes. YIKES! But was still glad he went there. Maybe I'll see you there! :)

Hey, you paid good money for the app fee, you deserve a decision! I say stay on unless there's no way you would consider going. Good luck whatever you choose!

Sorry to hear about ASU, I know you really wanted that one. But you still have CU waiting in the wings, good luck! As to L&C would you move to go there and pay the same tuition as DU? I dont think there is much difference between the two other than where you want to live when you graduate.

Thx - that ASU reject hurt a lot, but in retrospect I now don't have to worry about moving. I don't know if I would go to L&C over DU. I guess after ASU I gave up the idea of moving. The cost is about the same, and uprooting my daughter would be a bit selfish (for a couple US News rankings). Perhaps I will get rejected soon and my decision will be made. I sure am trying hard to save $20K a year for CU though...

how do you drop from a 3.6 all the way down to a 2.6? what caused your gpa to falter in terms of substance?
