---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11/07/11: Priority Track Invite to Duke
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11/12/11: Accepted to Georgetown! First acceptance; super excited! Came home to a small acceptance letter in the mail with a nice handwritten portion from Dean Cornblatt. A great start to what hopefully shapes up to be a successful cycle!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11/17/11: Accepted to Texas via voice-mail!
Update: Accepted through Duke's Priority Track; today has been so amazing!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11/28/11: Generous scholarship letter in the mail from Texas: In-state waiver plus an additional 12,000 per year.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12/06/11: Into Michigan via the Admitted Students website. Ann Arbor looks awesome!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12/07/11: Accepted to UCLA with a Dean's Scholarship, which makes UCLA an amazing option in terms of price.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12/13/11: DECISION LETTER SENT from NYU!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12/14/11: Huge black box in the mail from Vanderbilt; another great acceptance from a fantastic school.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12/16/11: Today has been incredibly surreal! Received an awesome scholarship from Michigan, accepted to Cornell with an invite to apply for the Dean's Scholarship, then received a Rothman invite from USC. To cap it all off, just got an acceptance call from Penn. Being from Philadelphia, Penn has probably been my top school going into the cycle. I am beyond excited at the prospect of attending such a fantastic institution.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12/20/11: Acceptance e-mail from USC; acceptance package on its way.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
01/05/12: Spoke to Jason Dugas of UVA on the phone today. UVA Law seems like a great school, it was my dream school for undergrad and I absolutely loved Charlottesville. With the generous scholarship it has definitely moved way up my list.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
01/13/12: Received a phone call from Dean Perry of Chicago! I am super pumped to check out the school and the city! In other news, I received a Hold e-mail from Harvard today, which was about what I expected. Hopefully, some movement soon on that front
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
01/27/12: Wilson invite from Penn. Also received acceptance and near full ride to Northwestern contingent on a one year deferral to gain work experience. As a k-jd who didn't even interview, I am seriously shocked! It seems like a really amazing opportunity. And so the plot thickens...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
02/06/12: Withdrew applications from Georgetown, USC, UCLA, Texas, Vanderbilt and BU.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
02/11/12: Scholarship offer from Duke.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
02/29/12: Scholarship offer from Chicago. I definitely need to try to make it out to ASW now!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
03/11/12: Received a whopping zero dollars from NYU's financial aid package today. Filed my appeal, so we'll see.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
03/14/12: Accepted to Columbia via e-mail! Previously received grade request in mid-February and was not in the held group.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
04/02/12: Financial aid offer from Penn. Named an alternate for the Wilson Scholarship and received a Dean's Award. While I'm grateful for the award, I would be lying to say I wasn't extremely disappointed. Penn was my top pick going into this process and yet now it seems like it is not a feasible financial option. Definitely bummed, hopefully they'll be willing to negotiate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
04/03/12: Withdrew from Cornell, Michigan, and Duke
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
04/04/12: My financial aid appeal was denied at NYU. With no scholarship money, I will unfortunately be withdrawing shortly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
04/05/12: Penn upped my scholarship upon negotiation. Additionally, based on a long-shot negotiation e-mail, Chicago upped my already very generous offer!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
04/06/12: Tough decision, but I decided to withdraw from UVA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
04/10/12: Updated Penn on Chicago's new offer and they matched me at $75,000 with a Wilson Scholar offer.

Thanks so much! Congrats to you on Chicago, NYU, and all that money from Northwestern! I did apply for the Levy, so we'll see what happens. Did you apply for the Wilson? We may just be digging ourselves a deeper hole come decision time :) Have you heard anything since being held at H?

Thanks! Yes, I received the Wilson, and will most likely be turning it down, so best of luck to you!
