Here is what Happened...hope it helps future applicants:

Fordham - rejected with a small envelope
Seton Hall- WL, then accepted for PT, I laughed and heartily said-- HELL NO!
Rutgers-Newark- Deferred, the WL for FT....They have dicked us around big time...I was really disappointed in the way they handled the admission process! It made me sad!
Pace- Accepted with money
NYLS- Accepted with money
Hofstra- Accepted with money. I would have gone here if Brooklyn had no come through. Hofstra's staff was amazing, they kept in touch, showered us with gifts all summer, by far the most efficient school that I have dealt with. They have great clinics and study abroad options...I seriously rec- people look in to it...their new dean is great!
St. John's- WL. Their office was never helpful and depending on the person, quite rude, but I give them the benefit of the doubt. Everyone has bad days. I withdrew but they must not have received the letter because I got a letter a month later saying they would not be accepting any applicants off the WL.
Cardozo- Applied PT for May, and was WL. They burned me bad, after meeting with them in several capacities, they gave me every indication that I would be accepted....and I got WL. Great school though.
Brooklyn- WL FT, accepted PT and I decided to accept because it was my first choice from the beginning. I am so happy!!!!

My advice....do what you can to keep your name fresh in their mind: Updates once you are WL, if you can get there go to admission programs and tours, etc. APPLY EARLY...I thought the definition of early was January....apparently it is OCTOBER!
TRY TO STAY SANE...and use www.lawschooldiscussion.org to whine about the process! Trust me your friends, family, and lovers can only take so much!

GOOD LUCK!
