Hey Rowdie, Don't worry about the waitlist at W & L. I recieved the same decision and have been having success elsewhere with similar numbers to you. Stay positive, this cycle is sure to hold positive news in the future for you. Best wishes and good luck!

Rowdie, Congrats! I gotta believe FSU/Bama/UGA are at the top of your list. If you are thinking of practicing here, FSU's Environmental Law program is highly touted. I am closely following your "saga." I am a fellow non-trad (retired military) in the Tampa Bay area. I will be in NEXT year's cycle.

We have similar options and numbers, where do you think you'll end up?

I'm not interested in staying Florida, so my decision has really become Emory/Alabama/Wake/UGA. I really thought I would go to Wake after visiting, but after attending the UGA ASW, I don't think I can pass up being a dawg!
