Here are just some numbers from Law School Predictor (I hope they are vastly underestimating my chances) along with actual outcomes:

Brooklyn Law School: DENY at <5% **Waitlisted**

N.B. -- All schollys listed are total awards over the three years.

12/8/11 - Accepted at Suffolk via letter!!! Waiting on scholly info but I am just happy to finally be in somewhere at least! Update: probably no scholly, definitely going to withdraw.

12/12/11 - Accepted at Quinnipiac via e-mail!!! Got my scholly info: $30k per year with the reasonable stipulation of being top 50% of the class.

12/12/11 - Accepted at Rutgers-Newark via e-mail!!!

1/6/12 - Accepted at Seton Hall via status checker!!! Update: Got my packet and they gave me a Dean's Scholarship?! Very surprised, but I will take the $15k/year with top 50% stip any day.

1/11/12 - Accepted at Catholic U. of America via status checker!!! I have decided that since the cycle is going well thus far (knock on wood) that I should perhaps apply to some more reaches, so I applied to W&L today and will think about more schools in the coming days.

1/12/12 - Got a fee app waiver from Wake Forest and applied there to add another reach to my arsenal of schools. I also got accepted at Hofstra today via email!!! Update: They gave me $15k/year with a top 40% stip.

1/17/12 - Got into Syracuse via "Admitted Students" email. Got the snail mail when I got home... nice t-shirt schwag!

1/18/12 - First ding at George Mason via e-mail. Not surprised but kinda bummed... Also got a call from the Dean of Case Western and got in!!! I was also waitlisted via email by UConn. Talk about roller coaster of emotions!

1/20/12 - Let the rejections begin... Rejected at Temple via status checker.

1/26/12 - Rejected by W&L.

2/3/12 - Rejected by Wake Forest. I knew this was coming, really, but am hoping to hear more from other schools today.

2/8/12 - Got into Pace via snail mail. No indication of scholarship award yet, so I will have to see. Update: Pace gave me $14k/year.

2/15/12 - Waitlisted by Penn State via email.

2/17/12 - Accepted at St. John's via e-mail!!! I also got a fee waiver randomly from my parents' alma mater, Wash. U. - St. Louis. Probably should have applied sooner instead of being so pessimistic about my chances...

2/21/12 - Accepted at UPitt via status checker!!!

2/22/12 - Waitlisted at Cardozo via email.

3/14/12 - Waitlisted at Villanova via email = withdrawing.

3/23/12 - Just got an e-mail from WUSTL and I cannot believe I am actually waitlisted there!!! Also, I withdrew from the majority of schools, leaving only 9 or so still in contention.

3/29/12 - Waitlisted by both Brooklyn Law and URichmond Law... I guess I will see how this plays out.

4/20/12 - Got my scholarship upgraded to a Presidential Scholarship at $25k/year at Seton Hall. This pretty much tips the scales for me, I loved it there when I visited and the money and quality of life is too good to pass up. I will see out what happens with the waitlists for the sake of clarity and providing more stats here on LSN, but I am finally going to law school!
