Additional info & updates

I didn't write any of the "Why X Law School" optional essays. However, I did tweak my essay for Berkeley, and sent targeted rec letters to Harvard, Stanford, and Berkeley.

Harvard-
KB1 email: 11/3!!!
KB1: 11/7
KB2: 11/21!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

U.V.A.-
For all of you U.V.A. aficionados, I did not write a Why U.V.A., nor had I heard anything from them up until 1/23, so I decided to send Mr. Faulk an update to my resume, explaining what I had been doing since I submitted my application in September. About five minutes after emailing him, Mr. Faulk emailed back asking me to call him. When I called, he said I was accepted, and asked if I had any questions. I asked a question that showed that I had done a bit of research, and he then offered me the full-tuition scholarship. SO, lesson is, SHOW YOUR INTEREST! U.V.A. in particular is very concerned with yield protection, so let them know they're high on your list!

Cornell-
Accepted, with consideration for a full-tuition scholarship, provided that I write a 500-word essay on the advantages and/or disadvantages of taking time off before law school... I probably won't end up writing the essay, after the full-tuition offer from U.V.A.

U. Penn-
Accepted, selected as an alternate for the Levy scholarship (full-tuition).

U. Chicago-
Granted the Rubenstein scholarship!

Columbia- Held 3/8.

awesome! dude. Cong! So where will you attend?

Wednesday, March 16 2011 at 08:00 PM

Thank you!!! As of right now, Harvard, but Yale and Stanford would definitely give me pause. :)

Congratulations
Monday, June 13 2011 at 08:00 PM

Incredible. I am extremely jealous.

Sunday, June 19 2011 at 08:00 PM

Major congratulations on your cycle to this point. You're killing it! Good luck as you wait for the rest of your decisions :D

Wednesday, March 16 2011 at 08:00 PM

I know, it is incredible, I cant really believe it! Thanks MyWayTilPayday, I predict similar results for you :)

Congrats!
Thursday, August 18 2011 at 08:00 PM

Yes this cycle has been amazing for the both of us! I wasn't expecting so many acceptances so early, but it's happened and now I can relax. Congrats on your acceptances (both present and future)!

Thanks
Monday, June 13 2011 at 08:00 PM

Will you visit H soon? Seat deposit? It must be insane to be so sure so early.

Wednesday, March 16 2011 at 08:00 PM

I'll probably visit in March or April during ASW. I'm still waiting to hear from Stanford and Yale, but I'm about 90% sure H as of right now. Isn't it early to send in a seat deposit? I don't really know how they work. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Ha
Monday, June 13 2011 at 08:00 PM

Thanks! Jealousy revoked (still very happy for you).

Sunday, June 19 2011 at 08:00 PM

Looks like the perfect cycle is still intact for you. Congrats again, LaCumps!! I am keeping my fingers crossed for what's to come. Columbia and then Y or S, perhaps?

Sunday, June 19 2011 at 08:00 PM

Sorry, just realized I never posted back! I have no idea. I am just hoping to hear good news from H and S at some point this cycle. I am sure you'll be hearing from Columbia sooner than later with $$$. And the full tuition scholly at UVA certainly proves you wrong :)

Rubenstein!
Thursday, August 18 2011 at 08:00 PM

Huge congrats on the Rubenstein! I'm sure you've got a Hamilton coming your way from Columbia too. One quick question: how'd did you learn of the award? Mail, phone, or email, or some other way I haven't thought of?

Saturday, August 13 2011 at 08:00 PM

Congratulations on the amazing options, especially Harvard and the Rubenstein offer! I'd been following your cycle because I have similar numbers and I was really happy to see all of your great news! Did you end up applying for the Levy at Penn?

Saturday, August 13 2011 at 08:00 PM

Thanks I appreciate it! Still no word from Harvard since the hold, so I don't want to get my hopes up too high. However, I did apply for the Wilson at Penn, which would be incredible being from Philadelphia. So I'm really crossing my fingers on the scholarship. Best of luck on your decision!

H or S, I just don't know. I'm leaning toward H, and S admitted me with such short notice that flights are $600+ to get out there for ASW, so that's not happening. I got a great aid package from H so I'll see what S does and go from there.
