Additional info & updates

March 6, 2012 - First LSAT score released ..... got a 153... kind of dissapointed but honestly i only studied for about 2 or 3 weeks (and forgot my watch the day of the test) Just had so much going on in my graduate program i couldnt give it the full attention. (BAD IDEA I KNOW)..I plan on retaking it in October 2012. I am actually going to be applying for Fall 2013. So i still can. Hill devote 2- 3 months of studying this time around. Hopefully i can bump my score up by like 7- 10 points.

March 10th, 2012 - Punched my numbers into the law school predictor. Results are awfully depressing. I will not let this get me down. I'm using my spring break to start working on my Personal statement. Still currently at a lost on where I wanna start.

September 6th, 2012 - just finished. My first batch of application.

Brooklyn Law
UPenn

Sept. 28th, 2012- So yestrerday I went on a tour of drexel Law... i must say it is smalled then i imagined... but I am in llove with their co-op program....

October 29, 2012 - Hurricane Sandy is about to hit Philly ..with no work I been thinking about my cycle... The waiting game is killing me. Checked all of the status checkers... All of them in review.

Also in at Akron & Pitt!! About 14-20k in scholarship money.

Nov 20th- IN AT VILLANOVA VIA PHONE CALL .... Don't know any scholarship offers yet... Bit I am applying for a public interest scholarship!!! Great start to cycle!! ... Also in a Florida coastal but that was a safety school.

Nov. 27th- Rejected at Cornell. Not a surprise but any type of rejection sucks...

Nov.29th - Waitlisted at Fordham.... That's sort of a bummer... But not hopeless.. This cycle is slowing up a bit though..

Dec 5-,Accepted at Drexel via Email. 28,000 scholarship.! Currently applying to outside scholarship sources. Nice change of pace in the cycle.

Working on some scholarship applications for Villanova. They don't send the package until jan.

12/14/12- Rejected at Penn. bummer but no surprise. I've updated my personal ranking on the schools still pending...

I just graduated from undergrad at WCU. I see you have a few DC/Maryland schools on your radar; why not apply to some higher ranked places like U of Maryland, American University, or Catholic University?

Thanks

Thats wasn't my final list. I actually am going to Apply to U of Maryland. I didn't really like Catholic University and I know a few students at American who do not give it the best reviews. .. I will look more into it though.

Best of luck.

I applied on the 5th of October. I fixed my page to show it correctly.

Any scholarship info for Penn State? Congrats on your cycle results!

Temple would be cheaper for you, but Case Western has national recognition and prestige, and will give you significantly more national mobility 5+ years down the road after graduation.
