Extra Curricular Information

Lots of community service hours throughout undergrad (at least 4 hours a week), worked 40 hours my last 2 years while achieving a 3.5 overall GPA of last 2 years, and since undergrad have done a lot of service and on the board of a local charity where i personally work with donors and beneficiary's as well as head up our major events. I also tutored refugees during undergrad and a couple years after, as well as teach classes on financial management to local kids.

Additional info & updates

Scholarships are per year**

1/19 : So I have finally decided to create a profile on here after spending so much time on the site and really appreciating the info others have shared.

I know I have a lot not in my favor with the multiple LSATs and low GPA, but I have a strong addendum (GPA is low due to one year of very poor grades due to a family issue, other years were good), references that should be great, and strong work experience, and unique personal statement (or so I'm told)!

Hopefully there is someone in the admissions committee that sees my strengths through the weaknesses and recognizes that my low gpa does not define my abilities as a law student and attorney.

I wish you all the best of luck and hope that the outcomes I get through this cycle will help someone else in their journey or at least help someone kill time while they wait for the outcome of their apps.

P.S. does anyone else have a love/hate relationship with status trackers?!

UPDATE 2-1-11

In review at Santa Clara, Whittier,Western State, Cal Western. Decision made from Creighton and it has been mailed per status tracker. Will not be able to check mail until Thursday..

The more i think about it, Willamette and SCU are my two #1 choices...

Updated 2-7-11

In at Creighton with 25% scholarship and a nice personal handwritten note on acceptance letter. :)
Still in review everywhere else... argh!

updated 2-8-11

Decided to apply to UNLV. I realize its a bit late in the game but have wanted to for a while and decided i would rather spend the money than wonder "what if"...

2-8-11

Accepted to Whittier, received an email. Email says that if i get a scholarship they will send another email. Keeping my fingers crossed as I would really like to stay in CA or OR!

2-18-11

Accepted into Willamette! Im so happy as this is one of my top choices and they gave me 42k, 14k over three years!!!
envelope was small...
yay!

2-23-11
Cant believe i got into Willamette and L & C within a week of each other. Wow! I was literally shaking with the L & C one and kept making sure it was addressed to the right person. crazy!!

Good luck on your cycle, looks like you want to go to similar CA schools as I do!

Quick question: Did you receive scholarship offers from Creighton with your acceptance information, or was there a delay in between ? Thank you :)

Woah! Twin?
Sunday, November 29 2009 at 07:00 PM

You applied to all but one of the schools I applied to and we have the same LSAT score! The wait on L&C is killing me! Good luck the rest of the cycle!

L & C
Sunday, November 29 2009 at 07:00 PM

Yes, the wait is slowly killing me. And its made worse by the fact that I was waitlisted with them through August last year so the waiting seems to never end. I am almost to the point that I don't even care which way it goes, I just need to know!! But...its also my first choice :) What about you?

L & C
Sunday, November 29 2009 at 07:00 PM

Congrats on L & C!!!!! I can't lie...I am super jealous!! Tell me everything!! Did you have your 3rd update on the status checker? Can you login to the admitted students page or did you get the package first?! My dad's attempt to make me feel better about STILL not hearing was that they were saving the best for last ;) I think I am going to go along with that for the time being ;)

Did you apply to the fulltime or part time program at UNLV?

Congrats!
Thursday, September 23 2010 at 08:00 PM

Congratulations on your acceptances so far! I just got a letter from Willamette with a similar financial aid offer and it has just complicated my life. Right now I am trying to decide between U of O and Willamette and I can use all the help I can get. Any suggestions? Good luck!

Tuesday, November 02 2010 at 08:00 PM

So whats the deciding factor between L&C- Willamette? Money, rank? Much cheaper at Willamette if you keep scholarship all 3 years, tough call! Best of luck to you in deciding! PS- Dont rule U of Oregon out! (Unless you have reason to of course)

Tuesday, November 02 2010 at 08:00 PM

I think ill end up at Oregon, was considering willamette until i got the waitlist... The only thing that could complicate my decision at this point is if Ohio State send an acceptance my way, far shot though.

when you got accepted into western did they notify you by mail? i checked my status and it says decision rendered and a letter was sent out. Someone else who got accepted said they got a congrats email from the school. wondering if you got one too?
