Additional info & updates

I've applied to schools all over, not sure where I want to end up. Probably in a big city that's not in too cold a climate. I have also considered somewhere cheap 1st year, do well, then transfer. Basically best school I get into with a decent clime will be my destination.

Well, I am at a difficult crossroads now. I have been accepted to one school I would consider going to (Cal Western) but I have passed the seat deposit deadline. I have waited to hear from other schools and found out today I was rejected at Seattle. No surprise I suppose. Still waiting to hear from Cleveland and Creighton. Not sure what to expect, got a bad feeling I won't get into either school. That would leave me SOL.
I suppose if I get into both I would go to Creighton, but not sure what to think about mid-west life. Any opinions out there? Cleveland is a bigger more lively city, but it's Cleveland. Creighton is in Omaha, a city and area I know little to nothing about. I think I could live there for school no worries, but wouldn't want to set up shop indefinitely.
On another note. I think it's wrong for schools to draw out this process, full well knowing the seat deposit deadlines. I suppose it's somewhat my fault, but I applied well in advance.

Decision?

Have you made a decision yet? I'm still waiting for Hofstra & Seton Hall (I wish they'd make a decision already), but I sent a seat deposit in to C-M because I probably want to practice in Cleveland.

Good luck! I'm still praying for an acceptance to Seton Hall, but it's a long shot and very expensive. I have a deposit in at C-M, and the next one is due on June 1st. I bet you'll hear something before then.

So Cal Western? You're not waiting on Cleveland and Creighton anymore?
