You may or may not know about the following information... Cooley's business and legal model is to weed people out, hence their low retention rate (high attrition rate). They basically accept everybody, knowing that the LSAT isn't for everyone. They do believe that it will really take extreme work ethic, drive, and determination to succeed. I have heard that the professors at Cooley could care less about the students. There is no personal time with professors. For me, if Cooley is the only option, I will attend. However, I just don't like the cold weather, but if I have to, I'll deal with it. If you get accepted to Cleveland or NOVA, I would attend either. Keep Cooley as your last resort if possible. I'll be watching your profile. Keep me posted.

I applied to Cleveland State via regular admission. I am kind of taking an all or nothing approach to law school. In regards to a bleak job outlook... Keep your ties to finance and try to be an "in-house attorney" for some financial institution, if this is of interrest to you. There's always a demand regardless of the economy. I don't plan to be an attorney. I want to go to law school for business purposes. As you know, half of the hurdles in business, deal with legal issues and contracts.

Smitty I didn't go to Ohio State I went to Bowling Green. I show your recent update about Cleveland State and I think that sucks. But hey you got into Cooley. If you are worried about leaving your job for Cooley why don't you just attend Cooley on the weekend? You still have Nova left as a choice and so do I. I will pray for both of us. Please reply.

How long did it take for you to recive something in the mail after you got that stupid email? I think I might call the school and tell them what I think ! The person who is in chrage of sending these emails (Monique McCarthy) should be held responsible. Law school is a life changing decision and it should not be played around with by someone who has their degree and who does not know how to email the proper person.

I don't understand why I got rejected from Cooley there are people with lower numbers than me that received the opportunity to enter Cooley on a probationary status. This crap is crazy.

hey i know u were accepted thru cooley's alternative program. i think i might be too. if u dont mind me asking, how did they tell u? the lady i spoke with said i was up for two programs, the 1 wk long conditional one and the one ur accepted to. she said my app is sent for further review after they read my lsat writing sample. if u could offer any advice or info, thank you =).
