PennyLane (2022-2023)

You're gonna kick ass, too! I think the adrenaline of test day will actually help you. I think it's going to help me so let's just work with that theory ;)

kick this cycles' a$$

We have similar numbers, applied to a lot of the same schools and both applied late in the cycle. Bonne Chance!!

Per your request I've finally fed my numbers into the system. Letter are coming out this week...I can't wait to see where you get in!

I'm sure you'll get into a great school!

on Brooklyn!

For Copyrights and Trademarks you do not need any science background... infact it is not even completely required with patents (just to sit for the patent bar). I have a friend taking the patent bar and doing IP who assures me that it is not needed. I also have discussed this with several enterainment lawyers that work with IP and have no tech backgorund. As for Entertainment, there are not many good schools that have big programs. Its a bit of a niche field. Going to a school with a good rep and making the right connections is fine. I was a Recording Industry major, so I have covered all the angles. I have thought about Loyola... but I don't want to be in LAsame concept with U of Miami. Brooklyn has a good "IP, Media, & Entertainment" program so I really would not mind going there. I am appling to most of those schools PT, so you can lower the 25/75 on them by several points when guessing my changes. For example GULC goes from 171/167 to 167/162, GWU from 166/163 to 164/161, and Fordham goes from 167/163 to 163/160. I know my numbers are still a bit low, but a girl can dream right?

We have pretty similar numbers so, here's to us getting Fordham PT. Good luck this cycle!

kind of funny how degree GPA/LSDAS GPA kind of matches. I wonder how that will work out. I think your list is pretty good. Most of my schools I am just applying full-time because I don't really want to live in DC or anywhere else but I have to have somewhere if I don't get into FL.

thx for the encouragement...yeah, well see about american. honestly, ill prob stay in TX, b/c thats what ill be able to afford.

I'm from upper Northeast TN.

Best of luck this cyle... our numbers are eerily similar!

full time, its literally down the street from me and I dont make enough to warrant the extra year...I may accept PT tho depending on discussions with my fiancee on where shed like to internship. I'd apply to all of these this second but I have a prof that has a book deadline, and so is late with his LOR :(. May I ask how quick rutgers was for you?

I'm wicked stressed over this, and aside from LSD telling me to just not go cause I cant get into t25, which I find elitist and not realistic, I have no idea where to go. If I get into St. Johns Im close to home, but If I get 40k+ from Hofstra its definitely a possibility...however rutgers is more affordable then both and I dont have to keep a 3.3 or whatever above the curve hofstra requires... but hour and a half commute. This whole process is making me grind my teeth at night, and I have no idea if any of the conflicting info is right :(

A qucik question for you, what do you consider "complete"? They day your report is processed or the day the school tells you you are complete?

Hi Penny! Good luck this cycle. :) UT *just* requested my report late last week. They also sent me an email saying they received my app. It took a long time though; I applied pretty early.

They also just requested mine late last week, so I guess they are both just getting started now. They did not send me an email or card or anything.

Hey Penny. I'm not sure what you mean exactly by have I thought of U of Tenn? I finished my app there two nights ago and probably would place it somewhere like 5 or 6 out of my 10. As far as state schools, UGA would be my first choice. I never had a true desire to attend UGA but since turning in my app, this rush has come over me! let me know how your apps go!

Love seeing you on LSD :)

Numbers Twin, As Tom Petty says, "the waiting is the hardest part." I just wanted to see how everything was going. I know that you went through the cycle last year, any advice on how to deal with rejection?!

I'm crossing my fingers for you to get in where you want to! I love your posts on LSD. best of luck

That would be so neat if we ended up at UF or FSU. I would love to go to a school with someone I met on LSN, how cool would that be? And as for GULC, I don't really have a shot. Only 1 person got in last year with my numbers. Not a great predictor of my success there. You are going to get a LOT of acceptances this year. I'll keep an eye on your profile. Good luck!

Yah! Yah! Good luck to yas! If we both end up in NYC, we'll chill!

They just e-mailed me yesterday ti say my file was complete. I was really worried because I didn't know if my dean's letter was in yet. But yes, it was through e-mail. Hope this helps.

thanks for the note (and the offer!)

I don't know about you, but seeing all of the people that sent in their apps after us go complete is killing my nerves. Hopefully, those are conjectures instead of real e-mails :)

Nah, I am not worried that something is wrong exactly for the reason you gave. It just annoys me that I called earlier this week and the lady said they would be sending e-mails by the end of this week and well, it's friday night and I don't have anything :)

That's great news!!! You really just made my night. Everyone else has been getting decisions so I'm really freaking out. I see that they started notifying people last year a couple of weeks from now so hopefully all of us will be in by Christmas. Did you enjoy your visit? Let me know positives/negatives.

Good luck fellow LSDer! I see you have a huge gap between your degree GPA and your LSAC GPA! Damn that first year. Im 3.53(3.87)! I see you already got accepted to one, so good luck!

I am glad to hear that they do that, because my first 28 hours turned out at 2.81, and my latest 80 are at like 3.87, so I hope they consider that!! Well good luck, you will do awesome!!

Let's hope they start sending them out soon. :) Is that your first choice?

Worried now?

1. You are absolutely not an auto reject for the part-time program because if you were that would mean I am also and I am not willing to give up so easily and 2. With further analysis I noticed like you said that a) nobody was part-time b) all of them sent in their apps before us except for one person that sent it one day later than me but with a 173 and like a day earlier than you. So, it's not too bad, it just means that the train is coming :)

I hate that site. It upsets me every time I go there and I see "Last Updated 08/30/07" AARRRGHHHHHH

Thanks!!! :-) i was really excited to get in SOMEWHERE; it takes a little bit of the pressure off to know that I AM going to law school. I kept having these dreams that my LORs would be awful or something and i wouldnt get in anywhere! I am sure with your numbers you have a really good chance of getting in there as well! (esp if you are a resident!!!) good luck with the rest of the cycle!

ALSO...do you want to go into entertainment law? i noticed the music business background... I am from nashville as well...hope to end up back there soon or eventually!

all my apps (with the exception of BU) were done by Nov 3 and i was complete at UT by Nov 13, complete at Cardozo by the 15th... and still havent gone complete at fordham... sorry i havent posted... I have been just all over the place this semester with these applications!

i REALLY hope so...i think my GPA pulls me down a bit which makes me very nervous...but i am keeping my fingers crossed!!!!

Congrats on AU. I'm sure you'll have a great cycle.

CONGRATS!!!!!! :) I knew you'd hear soon.

Thanks for the congrats! And congrats to you as well! Best of luck on the rest of the cycle!

See all your post on LSD; good luck to you. Envious of your focus and direction. Good luck!

See all your post on LSD; good luck to you. Envious of your focus and direction. Good luck!

Thanks for your post. Good luck with your apps!

on AU and Rutgers and I'm sure you'll get into Mason and the rest easily!

Congratulations!

Do you know when you went complete at Rutgers. I know they didn't contact me...but I called to make sure they received my deans certificate... Thanks!

I just added you to my watch list - b/c I like your posts on LSD. Good luck in all your apps!

My goal is probably Virginia but I'm not even sure. Don't think that will happen though. Would you prefer going Part-time or full-time??

on American! If you get into full-time programs, would you still consider American's PT?

We're practically twins! Congrats on American!

Hey, congratulations on American. I'm sure it's the first of many. Which is your top choice?

I've been pleasantly surprised by Loyola. Last class of the semester was last night, so I'll probably be cursing everything about the school for the next 10 days as I prepare for finals, but every one of my professors is great and so are my classmates, for the most part. My opinion may change later in the year, but for now things are good. I think UT's a great choice. I have family near Nashville and think it'd be a great place to live and practice law. You've got the numbers, so I'm sure you'll get the good news soon.

GJ on American

Good Luck on Mason and FSU! And the rest of your cycle... I'm still awaiting word from Mason. I didn't send a residency form to FSU...

Dayum girl, 2 acceptances already? ballllliiiinnn!

penny I'm so excited for you! I hope this trend continues.

The wait is killin me!!! No acceptances yet! Im hopin UGA will decide this week...I will add my stats when I know Im goin to law school :-)

I'm nervous. :( Another round went out at Fordham!! This site is making me crazy! ;)

I was never notified that I was complete at Fordham, but when they called they said I was. I did notice though that the acceptances seemed to have numbers that are well above their medians, so maybe they are just accepting the true auto-admits right now?

hey, we have similar numbers and both wanna do entertainment/intellectual property law. just wanted to say good luck with everything, i was testing in the same range and my score was a letdown too. anyways, best of luck

I'm late on this, but congrats on getting into American. DC is one the most under-rated cities.

Congrats on Rutgers, and American. I'm sure you'll get some better acceptances though. Good Luck!

Hope all is well... let's get George Mason!

You are like pure awesomeness compressed and giftwrapped into a tinny, cute package!

on American. Saw you at many occasions, here, LSD... seems that American is not your first choice, so good luck with the rest!!

...on American, and hope you hear more good things soon! haha on the other hand, I am waiting to hear SOMETHING from ANYONE

Look at you in at American!! Congrats and thanks for the Suffolk congrats!!! So I'm wondering when we need to start banging down the doors at UT??

congrats on your acceptances so far! we have similar numbers but we're not applying to any of the same schools... i guess thats a good thing cus it means less competition! good luck in the rest of your cycle! what's your first choice?

Aahh...I'm sorry you didn't get in...I guess that doesn't bode well for me :(

I am sorry that they flat out rejected you. I checked just before I took a final and was pretty bewildered by what I saw. I am probably not going to be accepted but I still have hope. You have a lot of good schools and I am sure you will get in, hell maybe we will end up at UF together. GOod luck

i'm so psyched about nyu - and SO thrilled that my cycle was so short. ED is awesome like that :). i can't wait to see where you end up! don't get discouraged too soon.

Send in Miami. Miami is the biggest legal market in FL and it's dominated by Miami grads. It's also by the beach ;-) Send it in, you're an auto-admit.

Sorry about Fordham :(. You're still going to have a great cycle though, trust me.

I didn't know I had a fee waiver until I completed the app. You should have it too. On LSAC, put the app in in your shopping cart, but don't check out. It should say app fee waived. Otherwise, it can't hurt to ask for one.

I urge you to run far, far away in the other direction... lol

Thanks for the congrats on FSU. Don't worry that they haven't called you yet. I'm the lowest LSAT to be admitted, that I see, but I have incredible soft factors that I can tell you via PM. Don't worry, you'll get the call. Good luck and congrats on AU!

hey there. We have similar #'s. Good luck this cycle and congrats on your acceptances.

the same thing happened to me on my desktop...it works on my laptop so i think its a glitch with the IP...either that or them hating on 159's

Ugh, the same thing happened to me from my desktop. Try a different browser, sometimes that works for me.

But Merry Christmas regardless

You'll make a helluva lawyer some day!!

Thanks, best of luck to you too, where are you hoping for most?

Niiiccce!!! It truly is a really nice school that does damn good in ATL! I fell in love w/ it when I visited!

Hi LSN Friend, I got into American today. Let me know if you're leaning that way. Have a nice day!

Thanks Penny! You will be getting in soon, I can feel it!

Why not look at Chapman in CA. With your scores they'd probably even give you some money. Best of luck.

I expected way more from the month of January. :(

How'd you go complete so fast? I'm jealous. And good luck!

No, still not complete. :( The status checker still shows "In Process", and I haven't received any snail mail from them saying I am complete. No love.

I'm thinking it might be because I'm PT. I don't see very quick movement for other PT students either. That's what I'll console myself with for another week or two, then see where things stand. Good luck to you though!

I heard Lewis and Clark has a really good IP program. I have similar numbers (lower GPA) and applied to some of the same schools. Good luck!

BOOO! I think you were YPd, too. I'm sorry but I'm sure you'll get in once they sort through the other apps the have now.

WHAT! I can't believe they deferred you.

Don't worry about FSU Penny. It stinks in Tallahassee anyways, ask anyone from there! :) Me and you are going to be hanging around til the bitter end of this cycle it looks like. Hope your comfortable :)

Don't you hate being the person with the highest index that has been deferred at a school? This is my status at Iowa....

Hey i have been monitoring this site for a while but just decided to set up an acct since I expect the decisions to start rolling in. Looks like we have pretty much the same numbers, schools, and PT apps going on. Congrats on Cardozo! What are your thoughts on going 'Dozo with no $$??? My boss is a prof there and I sat in on her class last week...I really liked the building and the area. Have you thought about visiting?

I have only heard good things about the May program. I would love to get a head start and begin this summer, especially since I have been out of school for almost a year and have been working. An intern starting at my firm yesterday who began in the May program and he said the workload much more manageable. if you really are going for top 10-15% the May program can't hurt...

Congrats on Cardozo. You think I have chance since I applied in Dec and my LSAT is two points lower than yours???

I was thinking of sending the Why letter if I got waitlisted. I hear that it's only effective in that situation and also when I emailed the admissions staff, they said that I should expect a decision by early March. So, given these facts, do you still recommend that I send in the letter now?? Thanks.

Hi, Congrats on Cardozo. It's a really good school that is on its way up, and you can't beat the location, only 5 blocks from NYU and Washington square park! I think the may program would probably be pretty cool. It allows you to finish in three years and yet have a semi-part time 1L (I believe) this could help in getting used to NYC. Of course you would have to start looking for an apartment real soon :) BTW, why no GWU PT? GWU is considered one of the best non-t14's at IP law and I do think you have a pretty good chance to get in their PT program... they accept apps until march 1st..

Hey I see you are anxiously waiting UT-Knox like me... I talked to the admissions office on Friday and she told me that "they wanted to have it all done by mid March." So I guess we both have to wait a little longer, good luck!

I didn't know you got into GSU! Thats Awesome! Very quick turnaround too, like 2 weeks? Very cool! You will like it when you go visit!

hey do you know when the deposit is due for pt? i got in ft but i really wanna start early so i had them consider me for that.

I didn't actually do anything after receiving the letter from FSU informing me that I was deferred, I did however, send in an LOCI in late January prior to receiving the deferral.

Hey, I've seen you post on LSD and then I saw you're name on here so I thought I'd say hi! I am interested in copyright law too! Let me know when you hear from Florida. I haven't heard back from the majority of my schools but I'm pretty sure I'm going to UF. I visited the law school yesterday and everyone was really friendly. Plus I've lived in Gville the past 4 years, and its a pretty fun town. Are you hoping for UT so you can stay in-state?

wow, sorry I'm neurotic about spelling *your (from last post) lol

hey Penny, i am a fellow LSDer but don't have quite the name recognition you do. anyways, congrats on American! Thats one of my top choices b/c of the whole international law thing. I did get into Tenn as my first acceptance of the cycle (since I retook Feb LSAT)... I would be willing to swap with ya for American. :) Good luck w/ the rest of your cycle. I will add to you to my watchlist.

I submitted my FAFSA in the third week of February. I got an email from them a few days after I was notified by phone (actually on the same day I got my packet) that had an additional need based form that needed to be filled out and mailed in, it was very short and simple and I sent it off the same day I got it.

on FSU! :)

I can't tell you how excited I am that you got into FSU!!!! I think that is such a great option for you. Congrats again and hopefully I'll be hearing from them soon. *yikes!*

congrats on FSU! We found out about the same time. I'm about 90% certain I'll be attending UF though (I'm at UF now for UG)...but still waiting for a few miracles.

I'll probably end up at UF. I've been kinda rooting for FSU and trying to like Tallahassee. But it just isn't happening. What about yourself--would you rather go to UT or UF?

I sent you an Email about it.

Hey did you contact them at all after your deferral?

Ah-ha! So FSU is showing you a little scholarship love, huh? Nice!!! That must have been a great surprise. Congrats. :-)

looks like we applied to a few of the same schools and want to practice the same field of law. Congrats on your acceptances. I'm a bit surprised that you didn't apply to any schools in California. Good luck with the rest of your cycle!

When did you receive your FSU $$$. Did you ask, etc?

Congrats on UT =)

on Tennessee, I am torn between them and the other schools I have gotten into so far, whats your feeling on FSU and UT?-I think i'm gonna go to admitted students day on April 11th as well, drop me an email if you wanna know more about a school on your list-I just might go to one of them :)

Hey, congrats on UT!!!!! :)

Hey congratulations on UT... I knew you would get in. The ones you really want always seem to take the longest though... :)

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH, congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey how did SJU notify you? I'm anxious as hell to hear from them. Btw, congrats on your acceptances!

Congrats on UT! Cheap tuition (well, relatively speaking), good school...you're set:) Are you going to ride the WL at Florida? Or have you decided on another school(UT, FSU?)

So am I going to be seeing you at Tennessee?

A week ago yesterday. I was going anyway but this really made be overjoyed.

I was wondering if u had any advice on getting in to UT? If you do and care to share them feel free to send me an email. thank you
