Additional info & updates

1/05 Got the first batch of applications away.

1/26 In at tOSU via email! I also received an email from Dean Northern inviting me to apply for the Moritz. I want to practice in Ohio, so tOSU is one of my top choices.

2/05 Logged into my email this morning to find an acceptance from WUSTL! It's going to be a good day.

2/12 Just received the Leadership scholarship from OSU via email. Good times.

2/16 Decision mailed today at Vandy. Now just waiting for the mail...

2/18 -Wait listed at Georgetown via email. Disappointed and a little worried about my chances for some of my other apps.
-Moved to FR at Berkeley.

2/19 Received a nice acceptance package from Vanderbilt. They include a lot of information, and the orbiter dictum seems especially helpful.

2/23 Wait listed today at UVA.

2/24 Priority Reserve today at Duke via email.

2/25 Scholars in Law award from WUSTL!

2/26 Wait listed at UM via email. One of my top choices; I will probably ride this one out.

3/1 Dean's Scholarship from Vandy. I'm really looking forward to visiting later this month.

3/3 Rejected at NU via a complicated treasure hunt: email-->status checker-->open PDF--->rejection.

3/11 Rejected at UCB via status checker.

3/28 I really enjoyed Vandy's ASW. It felt like a good fit.

3/29 Waitlisted at BU via snail mail.

3/30 Withdrew from WUSTL and tOSU. All signs pointing to Vandy...

4/07 Withdrew from BU's, GULC's, and UVA's wait lists.

4/26 Rejected at Harvard via email.

4/27 Rejected at UChicago via email. My cycle is almost over.

4/29 Decision rendered at Cornell via status checker. There isn't any link to the admitted student page, so I'm assuming either a wait list or a rejection. I would've needed a decent scholarship to pull me away from Vandy; so it finally looks like my cycle is over. Vandy it is!

5/03 Called Cornell today, and the admissions office confirmed I've been placed on reserve.

oh man, good luck to us both. i hate being this much of a splitter, but oh well. good luck!! =)

Sunday, January 10 2010 at 07:00 PM

yeah, I hear you. I needed December LSAT as well, so I waited til this long... good luck to us both of us! I guess we'll have to wait and see for next 2 months (at least!)

Sunday, December 27 2009 at 07:00 PM

numbers twin! good luck!!

Hey
Monday, December 07 2009 at 07:00 PM

Thanks. Nice job with yours too. I am getting nervous about BU though, people had some calls today. Good luck and see you around TLS. I loved reading Rawls in underground, btw.

Sunday, February 14 2010 at 07:00 PM

thanks for the luck. i can use as much of it as possible for this cycle. congrats on the $$$ from WUSTL! j/w - what schools are you leaning towards. it seems you have a bit of a mid-western preference.

Tuesday, December 29 2009 at 07:00 PM

similar cycle! i dont know whats going on with BU, just received their waitlist invite today. hopefully march ends on a better note for you! :)

Thanks for the note. Good luck with the rest of your cycle, and let me know where you finally end up.

Sunday, February 14 2010 at 07:00 PM

I wanted to end up in the midwest as well, but its looking like NYC. For some reason, almost EVERYONE wanted to waitlist me. May i ask- what was ur MOS?

Sunday, December 27 2009 at 07:00 PM

How likely do you think is getting off the waitlists?? Are you planning on sending LOCIs? It looks like I will be going to UCLA at the moment.. Vandy for you?

Tuesday, December 29 2009 at 07:00 PM

what a weird cycle for both of us. waiting on chicago and cornell, but not getting my hopes up, especially after that georgetown waitlist.... :T seems like youre going to vandy though! still an awesome school, so congrats =)

Tuesday, December 29 2009 at 07:00 PM

UCLA :) congrats to us! i think we had a pretty successful cycle ^^ if youre accepted at those waitlisted schools, what're you going to do? i'm torn because i REALLY like ucla but the rankings ... T__T haha

hi!
Sunday, December 27 2009 at 07:00 PM

thanks! im really stoked, but not so stoked b/c NU is sooo expensive and there is no scholarship available anymore :(. are you off to vandy for the fall, then?? :)

Thanks Rawl!

See you in the fall!

Sunday, February 14 2010 at 07:00 PM

Hooah! I think you'll enjoy Vandy. Thinking JAG?

Thanks!
Wednesday, December 09 2009 at 07:00 PM

It was a tough decision, but I know it was the right one. Can't wait to get to Nashville and meet you in the fall!

Thursday, May 14 2009 at 08:00 PM

Thank you! Congratulations to you too, and I'll see you at orientation!

Right back at you!
Sunday, October 18 2009 at 08:00 PM

Wow, sorry. I didn't check back at LSN until now. I got into Michigan and jumped on the Ann Arbor train. Hope you're having fun at Vandy! I'm going to miss the thought of non-lethal winters...
