They took a long time on my report too . . . but, should they hold true to form, eventually you'll probably get some sort of e-mail notification from the university. I think it took over a week for me. I wouldn't worry overmuch :).

Good luck with all of your applications! I'm sure you're relieved that they are all out, now you just have to sit back and wait for the acceptances to roll in!

Just for your info Penn will e-mail you when you go complete. It took another week and a half after I cashed my check for them to do so. They are just really slow. Good luck with all your apps

I found out I went complete at Duke through e-mail. It took over a month after I submitted my aplication. I don't know what took so long. But I am not really sure what my first choice is. I'm just waiting to see what will happen. Good luck with all your apps (and hopefully you'll get some good scholarship offers).

I plan on submitting by next week, but thanks for the encouragement! And I completely understand you about the additional essays/PS...grrrr :-)

Thanks a lot for the encouragement. My only shortcoming right now is that my files wont be complete anywhere (except the two EA schools) for a couple weeks. I wish you the best of luck as well... keep me posted.

Pardon the ignorance but what is the Hamilton/which C school is CLS? As for Harvard I don't think I have much of a chance...someone just convinced me to apply to at least one of Harvard or Yale.

Will do...thanks so much for the advice....my only concern at this point is the lateness of my completed files (won't be for another week or two). On your end, what are your first choices?

Thanks so much again for the encouragement. You sound like you've done your homework and obviously have the URM/early app edge on a lot of applications so I'm sure you know to not entirely take your numbers at face value (whatever they may be). I'd say either Gtown, Columbia, Northwestern, Chicago or Mich are my top. Best of luck to you and plz do keep me posted.

How did you find out you were complete at GW? Thanks :)

Thanks. I'm very excited as its my first acceptance. I hope you hear good news from them soon too.

The date of my complete is the day I got the email that said if you are incomplete you will be notified within 3 weeks. Today makes 3 weeks, so I guess I'm complete. That is my rationale.

Just checking in with you to see how your cycle is coming along . . .

Boalt? My GPA may be good, but my LSAT score isn't much for Boalt. Plus I like the east coast :) Good luck to you!

Good luck with your applications :-)

Yep, in just a few short months we could be tearin' it up Ann Arbor style . . . whatever that is. :) Michigan definitely just keeps growing on me though, that's certain. It would be the shocker of the year for me if Columbia accepts me and I go to Michigan anyway, but it's becoming a scenario I have to consider. And, I guess the Stanford thing really was more weird than insulting - it just seemed so random.

I'm sure you'll start hearing great news soon . . . hang in there!

I feel you on the getting nervous about not hearing anything. It makes me wish I had a 175 so I can sit back and just chill. But it's still early...I know that you have some good acceptances coming.

Thanks for the congrats! Once I visited UVA I knew it was the perfect fit for me so I figured going ED would increase my chances of being accepted

Thanks for the kind words, good luck with all your apps :)

Yay for you! Now the great news can just keep rolling in . . . I'll keep my fingers crossed for some tough decisions for ya :)! ASW won't know what hit 'em.

Congrats on the Mich acceptance! I received the complete email about a week ago so hopefully I'll hear from them soon too. I'm sure the acceptances will continue rolling in over break. Good luck!

I'll play your game kiki...applying to at least two of em tomorrow..might be too late in the game by now but I decided to give it a shot anyway

That's a good question and I've been asking myself the same thing lately. I probably could have gotten into some great schools. But, honestly Fordham was my first choice and I didn't really strongly consider any other school. I just threw some safeties in there and prayed. But I'm really happy with how it turned out. Oooh and I think I know who you are from LSD. I'll keep checking back to see if I'm right =)

I hope to see you there! it\'s a great school.. btw, thanks for telling me to change my cycle. for some reason, i thought they updated it automatically.

I'm praying for you too! Stay blessed :-)

Thank you!! i'm so nervous waiting for decisions! Congrats to you on your acceptances!

for the encouragement and congratulations on your acceptances.

on Emory! I know you have lots more good news coming your way!

CONGRATS! I got my first acceptance today! In at Emory too!!! YAY!!:) GO us!!!

Thanks girl! I'll almost certainly be there. I was looking at flights just now. In fact, I might even bring the bf. It's at the end of his spring break. Also, congrats on WUSTL!

It really takes a load off my mind... I can actually sign that I won't renew my contract here in Japan and really start looking toward coming home! Congrats on ND and the continued acceptances as well :-)

I found you Ms. Celies! I'm really rooting for you. You humble genius you. This was especially evident while waiting for Michigan. You knew you were in... but acted so cute and petrified along the way. Guess you're headed there for sure since it's your #1? Oh but p.s. Don't get all haughty tho. No one likes a know-it-all. *Wink.

Don't even worry about them! you already have great acceptances and I'm sure more will come your way!

They are in the lead right now, but in the back of my head I have hope that one of my top schools i applied to will accept me. I'm just on edge waiting for decisions, I can't committ to any school yet. I am so grateful to have options at this point, but still wanting to get into that top top school! Everytime i think of being rejected from all 8 of the top 15 school i applied to I have near heart attacks. Are you leaning towards Michigan?

They'll come begging you in May, and by then you'll be completely swept up in how beautiful Ann Arbor is. Congrats on the really great acceptances you have! I'm sure there are more to come.

Im also WL'd at UPenn. Do you think it bodes well for us that we are some of the first to be put in this group, or is it simply chronological?

Don't give up on Penn, you never know what will happen...keep the faith. And you still have UVA to look forward to and a ton of GREAT acceptances under your belt. You are crankin' it out this cycle and I'm eagerly anticipating your upcoming decisions!

Uh, no... they're nto rejecting you after you send them a glowing schmooze-fest letter of continued interest and they see the light! I'll be praying for ya!

Girl I'm sorry I know you really wanted to go there... I will pray for you! And its not over yet! you could still get in! ... dont sweat it you have awesome acceptances!

Yeh I'm seriously considering it, it's not a full ride but very very close to one. I could afford to pay that much without taking loans I think. It's really in the running. I just need to research alumni and the career center, visit the school etc.. But I'm still waiting on so many schools. I can only afford to visit so many. I really hope they hurry up and decide haha Mich is such a great school! I would be happy to get in there! :) Don't worry about Penn, I'm sure they'll be knocking down your door begging you to go there eventually.

about penn but good luck with virginia. i spent a summer there and charlottesville is such an awesome place to go to school.

thanks kiki. Congrats on all your acceptances. I am hoping for the same!

Congrats! Man, UVA's amazing. That's great! I have to ask, though. Why no HYS? I mean, you're kinda on a roll, you know? Regardless, AWESOME!! Congrats!

on UVA! You're gonna have some tough decisions to make!

CONGRATULATIONS! THAt'S AWESOME!!!! You gotta be crazy excited! Celebrate!!! you're going to a great top 10 school regardless of the choice you make!!!

for your comments. :) I'm not sure what i'm going to do. I don't think I want to live in Atlanta - location is important to me which is why I didn't apply to some of the schools u mentioned. If I don't get into NU, then i'll have some thinking to do....good luck to you! have u made a decision?

well, my whole mentality going into this cycle was, if I do not get into a T14, then i'm just going to go to IU. My family, friends, and boyfriend are all here, and the only way I would move away from all of that is if i got into a T14. So that's why I'm really hoping for NU - the location is perfect (I live in indianapolis, so it's only like a 3 hour drive). But what about you?? you've got some VERY NICE acceptances..... Here's hoping I do get into NU b/c i really don't want to sit out another year. But i am definitely willing to do it if I must....I know I can get a higher lsat score....

Kiki, Thanks for the kind words. You seem to be in pretty good shape yourself! I'm getting pretty restless... I haven't seen a decision in almost 2 months!

Yea I suppose I was a bit worried... I think CLS is gonna be it (although now I have to think about how on earth I can afford it). Your encouragement early on def boosted my confidence.... Congrats on your acceptances as well-- awesome to see that you got into some of your top picks!

Thanks! Never would have gotten in without your words of encouragement... I know it. Can't wait to meet you at the ASW. My seat better be saved!!

Columbia! That's soooo awesome! I'm superexcited for you!

CLS - wow! That's fantastic! I have 2 friends that graduated from there and loved it, so you'd be in great company from what I hear. UPenn who? LOL J/K - they're going to come around too!

Congrats. Maybe I'll c u at the ASW

Nice cycle MCB! Congrats!

Good stuff on getting in to CLS...are you going to ASW on the 28th? You're shaping up to have a pretty awesome cycle!

Congratulations! You must be thrilled.

Thank you so much - You've been super helpful! I'll take all of that into consideration! Thanks again!

Wow congrats!! You have some of the best choices possibly! congrats congrats congrats! ... I'm still waiting for the acceptance that makes me ecstatic!

I don't have facebook sorry :( Can't wait to hang out with you and all the other admitted folks. Should be a definite good time. I know all the good hot spots so I'd be happy to be your personal tour guide ;)

For your post. You have had a great cycle. Congrats on all your success.

And I'm in the unfortunate position of not being able to visit schools. Chicago and UVA were dream schools of mine entering the cycle. I'm hoping that more schools flip me a dime. You? CLS?

I just wanted to say congrats to you as well on your great cycle so far. May you have as tough a time making a decision as I am! Good Luck.

You're in an enviable position. May I ask what kind of law you're interested in? I'm currently working abroad through August.

I have never been so nervous to go to my mailbox! I am sooo hoping for good news!!! My roommate just decided to go to med school there! .. The suspense is killing me!

I'm not quite sure I'll be going. It all depends on $. If I were to go, it would be the second one. But, yeah... I'm out on the west coast, so airfare will be pretty high.

Hm... spoke too soon, I guess. Seeing as I've located the $, I'll be attending the 2nd one, March 22-24. It would be awesome to see you there!

I like the flexibility, the benefits, and the cases. Also, my father is ex-military, and so my family thinks highly of government service. However, I'm working in a foreign government right now, and the bureaucracy is maddening!! I imagine I'll change my mind a couple of times before law school's all said and done, but I've worked in various sectors before, and I'm most inspired by public and government service.

I got waitlisted at Gtown... pref waitlist? ... you seem to know a lot about the process.. honestly does it seem like any of the top schools will actually accept me? cause im getting tired of the process and ready to just pick out of what I have and teach myself to be happy with it.

strange they are taking so long to get back to you... they were my quickest response.

I researched all the schools that accepted me so far and it came out the weakest. I think I would be better off somewhere else. I'm leaning toward W&L, Emory, or Fordham.

I didn't actually withdraw yet though... I may not.. I just wanted to mark them because I'm not really considering either or those schools anymore.. But Im waiting for financial aide... if Howard were to give me enough grants to cover all costs I would maybe consider it. good luck with your last 2 apps!!! :) You've had such a great cycle!

Congratulations on the scholarship. You must have be a great candidate. I have always thought very highly of Wash. U. of St. L. You have so many great options (a few T14s to begin with), which is your top choice?

You know you love us!

for the encouragement. And congrats on CLS and all your shiny new acceptances! I love CLS, might even pick them over Harvard. But they have to let me in, darnit!

Also, I got an e-mail from SEO the day before yesterday to schedule an IN PERSON INTERVIEW! Gahhhhhhhh! I'm so scared, though I don't think I have a chance since they seem to only take T14 (hell, maybe even only T6) students, so I'm just going to have fun with it.

That's awesome news, MCB! So now, what school will you choose?

Hey MCB! It was need based over the 3 years.

is it good news that we received nothing during the latest round of waitlists at duke? i really love college basketball. :)

Have you received ur fin aid package from CLS yet?

Any reason you didn't apply to the big three, HYS?

I haven't gotten any word about aid yet, but I hope I get a nice offer. I didn't go to the CLS ASW yet, I'm going to the 2nd one. Are you leaning towards any school right now? How do you like Mich?

I just ran across ya profile on LSD and after seeing your schools and your status, I had to tell you congrats and to continue doing your thing. Point of advice Do NOT go to M!ch!g@n!!! Lol, naw I'm just playing. As an Ohio State alum, I was just being funny. But again congrats on your process, I hope the best for you and wish you well in your future endeavors!

So, how was it at Michigan? Love it? I think I'm already in love... I've been checking out every single little thing on their website for weeks now. I'm such a nerd :P

I actually recently just turned 21...LOL i know still young. Anyway I know it wasn't just my age. I was just thinking that in combination with many other things probably had a different effect than I expected. But I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do yet. But law school during 1L is def not the place to be deciding whether or not you want to be there. I know that much. Have you decided where you are going to attend yet?

I read your thread at LSD. Can I ask you a question -Were you accepted at CLEO?and If you were, are you going there? Pls. advise.

Congrats on all your success! I've decided maybe i'll get off a waitlist if Not I'm happy with what I got! I'll have a great career with these schools! I was wondering what you wore to accepted student weekends?

Thanks for the comment, and I know you're totally right about missing out on top schools. But i do have my reasons (husband, baby, time factors, etc. . . ), all posted back on my page.

Your profile rocks. I especially like the bit about your ASWs. I was just in Michigan to view the campus and visit friends (psych phds). I loved the interaction the phd kids have, and they even hung out with the attorneys. Very interesting place. You'll be fine wherever you go, as you clearly are thinking about everything in the right way.

How's your decision process going? All the sudden I stopped moping around and I'm excited I have options with $$ lol.. But I'm still hoping for last minute surprises.

Sorry I stole your pen. Remind me to get you a new one next time we meet. Anyway, NYU was actually real cool too. Its gonna be a tough decision but I'm still leaning CLS. Did you apply to SEO? Anyway, Get at me sometime if you wanna talk about law skool.

I just wanted to say congrats and thanks! Your profile has been extremely helpful, and you are positive throughout. I wish you the best of luck in law school!

congrats on Chicago. The plot thickens... LOL. Hey, how did CLS notify you of your fin aid offer. They still ain't got at me.

Congrats again on these amazing choices. So many T14's to choose from! Hope you love Chicago and they shower you with money.

I hope you hate Chicago and they not only don't give you any money, but raise the tuition just for you. Seriously, I don't think you can go wrong with either of those schools.

Are you leaning toward Columbia over Chicago at this point? I think my acceptance should probably seal the deal for you ;) CLS '10 woot!

Hope to see you at CLS this fall!! As for Chicago.....bleh. You know your heart belongs in NYC ;}

Thanks for posting your review on Chicago. It sounds like you have a touch choice. Luckily, you can't go wrong with either. I'd love to see you at U of C in the fall, but do what you do. Enjoy the back-and-forth!

Glad to see you made the right choice ;} Heres to CLS 2010!

You had a tough choice and I'm sure you are relieved. I'm so happy for you! Enjoy CLS, I'm sure you'll love it.

What were your stats? Just curious...

Yay, you're finally done with your law school admissions cycle! It must be such a relief to decide on a school. You're gonna love Columbia. =)

Not that you are going to Columbia, but that you are done. Congrats! You'll love it there, and deserve it. Good luck with everything!

Hey Girl, I don't have facebook at work, so I couldn't send you a more discrete message. But I'm visiting my college roommate in Bedstuy Thurs - Fri (she's in town for her HS reunion - Packer)... if you're free to meet up and hang out let me know.

Congrats on a great cycle! Are you going to post your stats?

Hey, can you take a look at my #s and shoot me an email. What were yours? You got into some GREAT schools that I would like to go to!

Thanks for your advice. Do you mind sharing your numbers?

Thanks so much for stopping by my page. Your comments are very welcome. I would apply to NU but I don't wanna be in Chicago. I will check out the board on LSD. Good luck as you begin your first year.

Hey there- hope you're having fun at CLS! Just wondering- why didn't you apply to any of HYS?

sorry for the delay! just saw what you wrote. thanks in advance! p.s. hope your first year is going well!
