Congrats on your acceptance at UST. What kind of scholarship did you receive from them?

Being from Minnesota, which school would you reccomend more UST or Hamline? I'm going to visit next month to check out Hamline. UST may be a long shot but I'm suppose to hear from them within the next 2 weeks.

Good job on NY law school. Are you considering it? Nicely done.

im not really sure about wake. i have to decide once i have all my decisions. right now im between wake, w&l and pitt. good luck this cycle! im sure u will do well

Nicely done on Washburn...Are you now considering it? Nicely done on the scholly too.

Congrats to you as well! no worries, you have some great acceptances to work with already. if anything, you can transfer if you don't like whichever school you choose. good luck with the remaining schools.

Congrats on all acceptances.. fellow latina wishing you much luck on the rest of this insane cycle!

Good job on NY law school. Is this part time or conditional? NY law school is a great school. I agree that this game is silly. It is quite unpredictable.

Congrats on Pace! That's the school I am shooting for! I anticipate that I will be attending their diversity dinner as well, even though I haven't received word yet! Maybe we will meet!

Yes, I interviewed with Mark, one of the admissions counselors. I thought the interview went quite well. That is why I was so disappointed when they decided to defer my decision. I couldn't take the wait, so I called yesterday and they advised me that my file is still on hold and no decision has been made as of yet. This news was so disturbing to me that I applied to Widener as a safety school. I have to start in the fall! I am trying to keep my hopes up but as the days go by I become more and more desperate for an acceptance! lol BTW: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Hey there, that is very nice of you to say! I am really hoping to turn some of these waitlists into acceptances. I hope the schools see that as well! You have some excellent acceptances, congrats! Which schools do you like the most out of the ones you have been accepted to? I can speak for Washburn because I have lived in Kansas my whole life. It is a great school, very respected in the state of Kansas, along with Missouri and Oklahoma. Lots of our local lawyers and judges came from Washburn.

Happy birthday, by the way!!!

Hey! Thanks for the vote of confidence! I just received an acceptance today from Pace via mail! WOW! I am over the moon! Good luck in the fall!

Congratulations on Pace! You've got eight schools to choose from! That's amazing. I am still waiting, but I think I am going to put down the deposit on Pace soon. I would go to Pace if I were you, only because you might meet me there. JK! ;-)

I didn't get any either! I was hoping for some diversity money! I am thinking if they would have decided on me sooner I would have received some (I applied in November). I am just so happy to get accepted. Now it's time to show and prove! Good luck! Any idea yet where you will be attending? Will you be present at the ASR on April 22nd?

Yes, I will definitely be in attendance on the 22nd. I am also scheduled to attend the diversity dinner on the 31st.

I have been fixated on Pace ever since law school started becoming a realization. I have been to numerous events which allowed me to meet many students. It was important for me to meet people who were in the PT program and had kids and work obligations. I was able to meet more than a few! It's a beautiful school, with a very small class (which I love, I don't like getting lost in a crowd). The faculty is amazing! It felt like a comradery more so than a school, everyone was working side by side. I got the feeling that there are very few people in that school who would pounce on you to get ahead, instead, I got the vibe that they will hold your hand and stay at the same pace...(no pun intended...lol). I live about an hour and 10 minutes away...which is still a bit far, but the closest law school to my house. I wish I had the opportunity to live on campus, but unfortunately I made my life before my career. I have to play with the cards I dealt! There are not many Hispanics at all!!! I think there is real opportunity for us in there. What nationality are you?

congrats on the scholly!

CONGRATS!!! I wish I would have overlooked something like that on my package. Where did you find that, maybe I should look again? lol!

Palma, that letter would be great! YOu can send it to the email address I provided, or if you prefer we can meet at ASD and you can give it to me there! I really have to work out my financials right now...I am so nervous! Hey if you go to Pace, we will end up classmates!

I don't know much about St. Thomas, however, I see that you are currently residing in Minnesota, so it would reduce the stress of moving, finding a place, finding work, being away from family...etc. You would also pay in state tuition, right? Hard decision to make...good luck!
