Long list, but because I'm a splitter. Unpredictable cycle.

All scholarships listed are 3 year totals.

12/05/08 - Accepted at Cincinnati via e-mail, mail packet on the way.

12/08/08 - Accepted at Tulane via e-mail, mail packet and scholarship info on the way.

12/11/08 - Wait-listed at Virginia via e-mail.

12/17/08 - Lots of mail waiting on me after being out of town:

-Rejected at Georgetown.

-In at Illinois with $60,000 scholarship, contingent on remaining in "Good Standing," whatever that means.

fellow splitter, check for waivers to UVA and Columbia

splitters of the world unite!
Wednesday, July 23 2008 at 08:00 PM

We'll go somewhere great.

Monday, July 28 2008 at 08:00 PM

Thanks for the heads up. I actually got the fee waiver for Columbia but I'm not applying. Looking at the numbers, I have no shot. They are notorious for sending these waivers to bolster their acceptance rate.

Sort of a splitter...
Monday, January 22 2007 at 07:00 PM

Also 4 years out, good softs, bad LSAT, but good GPA on grad degree. Best of luck...what are you aiming for?

In the same boat

Good to see there are a few REAL splitters out there this year. Best of luck!

Monday, July 28 2008 at 08:00 PM

Thanks Dadric! I've looked at your profile more than in a few times in my research.

Weird

Thanks for posting!!

I'm applying to similar schools for Fall 2010 with similar stats and a masters degree in a related field to the area of law I hope to practice. Congrats on your acceptance and hope this semester is going well so far!!!
