I hope so, but you should get into Stanford and every other school no problem. Good job getting your apps complete. I'll be watching your profile to see how long it takes to get a decision.

Sweet numbers, congrats on Stanford!!

congratulations on getting in at stanford from a fellow gator!!! also my number one choice, but i'm still waiting... maybe i'll see you in palo alto :) GO GATORS!

That's fantastic! Congratulations on your acceptance. You have awesome numbers. I would definitely go to Stanford if I knew I had a chance. I'm from Cali so I'm biased. But yeah, I go to UCF. How did you know? Can you tell by my numbers? ha ha. Wish me luck as I'll need it!

Super-high numbers, languages, publications, sports, URM....looks like you'd have to take a suicidal step with the PS/letters to be rejected anywhere. Sweet. You've earned it. One Q: Are you going to withdraw from 2-8 since you're in at choice #1, or are curiosity/money going to have you wait it out? In any case, congrats again on a wonderful record and several more admits to come! Have a lovely December.

Hey. Yeah, I know I should but I applied to FSU but I'm really wanting to move out of Florida. I've been here for too long. I need a change of scenery, that's all. But if they give me fee waivers then I'll apply.

That's how I felt about undergrad, too--no preference strong enough to rule out the other (especially financial) factors. Now I have a rather definite top choice, though, which is terrifying. I suspect I'll have huge loans wherever I go, but I'm really not going to know anything until this spring. The schools you're looking at have vastly different sizes/locations/"feels," so I'm sure it'll be a complicated balancing act in the end. Any idea what you want to do with a JD?

on your acceptance!!

on your acceptance!!

Re: law profs & debt, many of the top schools (almost definitely Stanford) have BEAUTIFUL loan repayment assistance programs. I think Yale's is the most generous, actually. The gist: for nonprofit/academic/public_interest legal workers (or, with Yale, for all low-income workers), they'll give you new loans to cover a portion (sometimes 100%) of your debt payments each year, and then those new loans are completely forgiven after a certain number of years in the program. Sorry if my description just made no sense, but you should look at the specific programs and talk to your pre-law advisor about it.

Congrats and Welcome. This place rocks. E-mail me if you have thoughts/questions

First Penn acceptance on LSN! Congratulations! Of course, you are an auto-admit everywhere...

congrats on penn--did you hear by snail mail, email or phone? congrats, again!

on both yuor great acceptances!! It must feel good to know you are already in at your numbe one choice!!

on Penn. Did an e-mail follow the phone call? I assume it was an unlisted number.

Thanks but the only factors in my decision are weather v. $$$.

from a fellow Gator on getting into your top choice. Best of luck on the $$$ front, as you're a lock across the board for admission.

I've got to say you are an amazing applicant. Congratulations on all of your acceptances.

Of Jesse Jackson, but I'm rooting for you lol! Great numbers...congrats on all the hard work it took to get where you are, on Penn, and on Stanford. here's to sweeping the whole lot of them! -- C

I'm sure you don't care about your Penn acceptance now that you're in at stanford, but for the rest of us... you're still the only one to hear from Penn, probably because you're such an amazing candidate. Have you received your snail mail letter yet? If not, can you post it when you do? Thanks!

That is all that needs to be said! Stanford will most certainly be awesome!

just saw your comment. thanks for the vote of confidence. i've already told my roommates to expect a victory lap around our complex if i get into uva.

Hey, thanks for the congrats. Your a good brother (as evident by you consistent words of encouragement to everyone). I also like the screenname. Good Luck with Yale. and Harvard.. I'm sure you're in, but it would be nice to see you at Columbia. And congratulations on Stanford!!! I'll be looking for great things to come from you.

Hey, congratulations on the acceptance! I have two questions for you though. It would be awesome if you could answer them. I got a W on my transcript (non-punitive, non GPA counting,) Did you have any Ws on your transcript, or do you know anybody that has one or more and will it affect my acceptance into Harvard, Yale, etc? (Considering I get a high GPA and a high LSAT? (E-mail me or leave a message with the answer in my profile) Also, if you dont mind, could you tell me how you prepared for the LSAT?

You're in a great and eviable position man! You did your thing this cycle; good luck with the 1L! -- CS

You will have some difficult choices, poor you! Forget about Georgetown. Too big, for one thing. Columbia does take forever, and people tend to be MISERABLE there. Harvard is more bravado than REAL reputation. Yale or Stanford. Stanford for ambience. Yale cuz it really is tops. You're stuck in a win/win situation. (Go Tar Heel BB.)

I'm just confused why you haven't withdrawn from GULC. Granted, I'm not a rankings whore and would choose GULC over a lot of higher ranked schools, but given that you ranked Penn 5 and GULC 6 I'm a little confused. Anyways best of luck!! You have AWESOME choices

Restructured the Rankings

its good to see another gator being so successful in their apps. hopefully my app list will begin bearing some resemblance to yours in the next month or so

. . .takes its time. Their loss, I think. Reputation for good education but the misery factor is high.

Choosing Stanford over the uptights out East. Please grace my profile with your comments, Rev. And enjoy NorCAL.

It's awesome to see a fellow Gator doing great things!

i have a couple of questions i want to ask him. anyway i could get his email? could you shoot me an email? =) thanks and congratulations on all these awesome schools! wish i were in your shoes!

best wishes!!!

Congrats on your acceptances. May I ask, what tools did you use to prepare for the LSAT?
