GeoLaw (2022-2023)

Hi, I sent you an informative email about Gonzaga. We have applied to many of the same schools. Good Luck!

Just wondering why you didn't apply to Richmond. Going by how it appears on paper, its one of my top choices and I've been quite impressed by the staff I've dealt with thus far, BUT I haven't visited. Have I been suckered by their packaging?? Do they have a weak local reputation?

Actually, Dean Rahman is a family friend, and I currently live in Richmond. I think U of R is great, they have a beautiful school and a strong reputation in the area. My reasoning for not applying is purely geographic. To attend law school, our family will have to downsize considerably. That will be much easier if we aren't living in the same town (but in a smaller house). It sounds strange, but you'll have to trust me on this one.

I hope the first two weeks of January are busy...in a a good way. I reflected on your q. on my profile page. Good Luck (can't ever have enough, right?). Which schools are you more interested in?

Yeah. I am a little bummed. I would rather go to Gonzaga or L&C anywho.

You've gotta be happy about not being rejected at Colorado or W&L.

It was surprising that I got WL at both schools to say the least. Hopefully this portents good news at some of the lower ranked schools! Keeping my fingers crossed for Utah and Gonzaga!

Wow,.. HOW did you get WL at Colorado? Was it your job and PS basically? I have similar numbers and I'm going for it, but don't expect even a WL.

Pretty sure admissions flipped a coin for the decision. Not knowing what other people have for softs it's hard to say whether mine are strong, but I threw everything I could think of into my apps...addenda(s), really big resume, stapled $20 bills to each page, wrote entire PS in one long sentence, etc.

Good luck on Gonzaga! I am in review now. (did you see the thread I started on TLS. I think it is pissing some people off. hehe.)

Congrats!! I am soo happy for you. Really cool. Hopefully I get some good news from them in the next couple of weeks also.

Hey, I am also on the waitlist at W&L and will be visiting the school this week. I actually am pretty excited about W&L.... anything else that you didnt like about it? anything else that was good? any strange interview questions i should prep for! any info would be really great! :)Looks like you have had as weird a cycle as I have had... but you already have some good options! Congrats.

Thanks so much for the info! Just one more thing, did you request an interview with Brett Twitty?

Ya, it really blows. I think I've narrowed down my options to Idaho or retake (barring a miraculous acceptance at Utah). Good luck at Gonzaga, or wherever it is you end up! I would have liked to have been part of the same incoming class as you, stheskier, and everyone else who seems cool that looks to be ending up there. Guess it wasn't meant to be. Life goes on.

Big win for the bulldogs last night, I must admit i had st johns in all of my brackets! I guess thats what I get. On another note, are you attending gonzagas open house on the 2nd? A buddy of mine and I are road tripping up from nevada to check out the phd program he got into at WSU, and then going to open house on saturday at Gonzaga, My boss did not go there but only says great things about it! He is urging me to go to zaga over several other schools at this point! Hope to see you there!

Barring an acceptance from UNLV, I will be joining you at zaga as of this friday when the seat deposits go down

Probably in the Fall. I have work committments here, and I am working on a second graduate degree in justice mangement through the judicial college. Besides, lake tahoe in the summer... is amazing!

So, I assume that you will be withdrawing from Montana? I only ask because I'm a waitlisted out-of-stater and there are only like 25 spots available. Thanks and Congrats!
