Thanks! I really hope you get in. Here's hoping to good news for you this week!

Numbers/state twins. Good luck on the retake!

WOW! Awesome retake. Good luck on your apps - you're totally golden!

Congrats on the wonderful retake! I'm sure Indy is super proud. I'm stuck at 161, but, oh well. It is what it is. Good luck with all your awesome applications, and let me know if you come up to MI, okay?

Thanks, you too!

Good luck! Looks like we might be classmates someday. Sorry to hear about Colorado, but I'm sure you'll be accepted at places that make CU look like TTT.

Thanks! I'm excited. And I'm sure you'll hear back soon! Your GPA is higher than mine, and I have a downward trend and sub-par softs during undergrad. Good luck!

Told you! Congrats!

YES YES YES! Congrats, former numbers twin.

Congrats on UT!!!

Congrats! Michigan can't be too far behind!

All things equal, UT is definitely my top choice. It might come down to money, though. I wasn't told anything about scholarships on the phone, but since everyone with my/our numbers seems to be getting a standard amount, I'm still hoping to receive one. I might call and ask if no mention means no money... I'll let you know if I do.

I called! I didn't ask for specifics, but the office did confirm that not having a mention on the phone (or in the welcome packet) didn't mean no scholarship money - it's a separate process.

And best of luck with the rest of your cycle! Congrats on UT!

Sweeeeeeet, congrats! Hopefully they like me as much as they like you.

thanks! congrats on vandy(!!!) AND w&m, you're having quite the day!

Congrats on Vandy! I am only a teeny tiny bit jealous. Teeny tiny! :)

I wish. I'm going to be in Chicago that week - booked the ticket before the ASW dates were out. I'm going to UT@UT Law on the 11th instead. I bet your puppy is adorable. I have a dog, too, plus two accidental cats (long story). I'm pretty much screwed in the finding-an-apartment department now.

Let's go akili let's go! -NorCalBruin

on $$ at Vandy- that's awesome!!! Randomly came across your profile and recognized ya from TLS :)

Interesting cycle, that 60k at vandy is pretty nice. though with your 169/373 i think you've got a decent shot at UM but prolly at sticker. not a bad dilemma to be in if you find yourself there.

Sad we won't be classmates, but GO YOU AND YOUR VANDY MONEY!

I have no idea why you aren't in with $15k per year yet. Everyone else near our numbers got that. Did you send in your app on scarlet and grey paper or something?

thanks!!! i hope you hear back soon, but i think it's going to be good news :)

Michigan doesn't work out for you, I'll see you in Austin in the Fall. (Vandy is terrible ;) I may still be bitter about my waitlist)

Yup, likely heading that way. I am visiting the schools I haven't withdrawn from, then making the seat deposit. I hope you hear from them soon!

I'm glad you're thinking about UT again! You seem awesome and I want to meet your dog. Remember, the facilities aren't ugly - they have character.

Have faith! How could they not love you?

Congrats on Texas and Vandy! I am SURE you will hear good news from at least one or two of those waitlists. I'm on the Michigan waitlist too. I'm rooting for both of us. :)

Very weird. But congrats on Vandy with $! Congrats on the great LSAT too!

I wish I were Chuck Norris! Also, I cannot get enough of related jokes. <3u,akili.

I haven't heard from Cornell (I put withdrawn, but I'll wait awhile longer). I LOVED Vandy so I don't think I'd pick Michigan at sticker over it.

Yeah, I decided two weeks ago. I'm basically done posting on TLS, but I'm looking forward to seeing you at Vandy in the fall!

If financial aid puts them in the same ballpark, I'll definitely be visiting Cornell. I have no idea what I'm going to do!

Where do you want to work? You are from Texas, and I think Vandy is better for anywhere south of TN. I didn't get into Vandy but from my research/talking to firms Vandy is a better bet for TX, FL, GA, NC, etc..

I don't have a dog in this fight, but I don't think Vandy is better than Cornell for employment purposes anywhere in the country. By fiance's brothers are both lawyers in Florida and Georgia and both told me that I should go to Duke or Cornell over Vanderbilt when I asked them about these. I don't know which lawyers you spoke with. But anyway, Vanderbilt is a fine choice if it makes more sense financially. Best of luck to you both.

If I wanted NYC then Cornell could be worth it. NYC just isn't that attractive to me. And there's no way I would pay sticker at Cornell! Duke could be another story. Vanderbilt has great employment prospects AND the ability to spread out a bit more in the country (which I love because I'm not sure where I want to work). Also, Nashville is a way cooler city than either Ithaca or Durham. Honestly the best choice for money & job prospects would've been UT but I just didn't like it at all.

I'm not saying taking Vanderbilt for money over Cornell at sticker is a bad move necessarily. I was just saying that in a head to head battle between the two, Cornell has better job prospects. I didn't mean to belittle your decision. And I agree about Nashville being an awesome place to go to school!
