...i love reaches too.... looks like we applied to some of the same schools. hope your cycle goes well!!!

Good luck this cycle, I'm sure a lot of acceptances are in your future!

I applied 12-20, but one of my LOR didn't arrive until 1-8, so my file wasn't complete until the 10th. I'd LOVE to go to Washington U, but I really doubt I get in. I love Case though, and am going to visit there this next month. What about you, top choice?

for the congrats. good luck to you too. I think you have a great shot of getting in at all the places you applied.

Best of luck to you, too...and congrats on your MBA! I'm sure that you'll hear a lot of good news really soon.

Thanks for the kind words. You've got a great list here. I'm you'll do awesome this cycle! I gotcha on my watchlist. Good luck!

It's nice to have some good news, it sucks playing the waiting game. But, i'm sure you'll be getting some great acceptances soon.

As far as a favorite, right now I'm really struggling with private education loans v. public education loans - the latter, of course, being significantly lower. I'm currently leaning towards public with good networking...which is looking like Buffalo (I'd like to practice in NY or DC, both are a drive away). Yesterday, however, spoke to someone from NY who really said some negative things about the city of Buffalo... So now I don't know! Ha. What are your tops?

Thanks! Good luck with your cycle too.

Thanks for the comment! My admission is for the upcoming fall class. I'm starting to lean towards U of I, but still waiting to here from Wash U. Have you heard anything from them?

Hey! I applied to U Nebraska almost entirely due to its location. I'm from South Dakota, and this is one of the closest schools I can apply to and have a shot at getting into, without actually going somewhere in South Dakota :) Sure, it sounds great in theory to move halfway across the country to New York or California or something, but sometimes I wonder if I even have the guts...I have to tell myself that I do, especially if it's for a dream school :) Anyways, I'll be tracking your success. Good luck with all your apps!

I don't recall receiving a complete notification from IUB, so don't worry too much. Best of luck to you!

thanks! i never send out congrat messages but i might now that i have received one, they feel so nice and warm! you have some great things going for you, the MBA and lots of work exp, the adcoms love that stuff, im sure you'll hear from schools soon! good luck!

Thanks for the words. Marquette is a great school for both Health and Sports Law. Don't count yourself out at Wisconsin yet, I had slimmer chances at getting in U of I and heard good news. Ever thought of applying at U of I?

Thanks for the kudos on Loy Chi. I haven't heard much first hand about the school so I'll be going that way to check it out. Good luck again on your cycle

Ha..well I don't know about being an auto-admit, but I'm very excited to know I'm going somewhere....I don't think that I'll be visiting anytime soon. I just don't have the money right now. Otherwise, I would in a second. It's crazy how much you begin to doubt yourself in this process. Congrats on your advanced degree--that has to mean a lot in this admissions process!

Thanks for the congrats. I don't remember doing a deans certification to tell you the honest truth. I sent in my applications mid-late December, but my second LOR didn't get in until 1/10, so most of my applicatoins weren't complete until soon after that. I know it sucks playing the waiting game, but i'm sure you'll be hearing some good news soon.

Wisconsin is a definite reach for me, especially since I'm out of state, but I would LOVE to go there! Hope you get in! Good luck on your cycle!

Unfortunately I didn't get in money from Iowa in the formal letter. John Marshall is the only one who has said anything about scholarships...but Fingers Crossed!

Yeah, the Wisconsin letter did sting a little (or a lot). They actually say in the letter "there is no need to come to or call the office" so I figured it'll be a waste of a trip up there. It's still my top choice, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. If I eventually get rejected, I'll probably end up at Loyola or Case Western. You've picked a lot of great schools, what's your top choice?

Hey! Thanks for the message!! I'm still in complete shock! But yes, will definitely be going to UW in the fall! We went and took a look at condos near the school, but they are a little on the expensive side -- $300,000+ and anywhere from $200-$350 extra p/m in condo fees -- that's the killer! We are looking at houses a little further out of town -- apparently the west side is the best side :) I'm pretty freaking excited though! Let me know how you get on! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! ~K

Hmm, just remembered a couple of condos that we saw downtown for around $200k, but same monthly fees. Don't know if that's more in your buydget? They didn't have any outdoors areas though, and we too have a decent sized dog :) Hope you hear from somewhere soon -- maybe today is your lucky day, who knows?!!!

for the congrats! nice to know i'm actually going somewhere. lol. excited for all of your acceptances to come! :)

.. and time goes by so slowly and time can do so much... You know, I really like your profile style! Props to you for taking the lsat twice and props for getting an MBA! I want to do the joint JD/MBA thing - what do you think about that!? IYO is it worth it? After all the waiting, imagine how cool its going to be to get our first acceptances. ;)

i also hope we both get in!

Thanks for the info! I'll definately be checking that out. I met with the Financial Aid people at U of I today and mentioned the two scholarships and asked them to reconsider me for scholarships. Hopefully that spurs them to offer me something.

Thanks for your post about UK. Also, thanks for the info about the MBA. I'm going to have to think seriously about it. Anywho's I got my first acceptance; to Creighton, yes!! I know yours are on the way!!! Good luck, I'm keeping an eye on you so I can be the first to congratulate you. ;)

AMAZING! Thanks so much for the links and info

As for Creighton, I think it'd be pretty hard to beat a full tuition scholarship. I was a little weary of Omaha, but the more I research it the more I like what I find. So, yes, I would definately go to Creighton. I can't wait to find out where you end up going... hopefully Madison, WI.

Thanks! I'm sweating it already, UOregon is soo cheap comparatively. Where are you thinking?

Thanks....It's a little disappointing to be on a waitlist, but my numbers just weren't there and I didn't exactly get my apps out early. I'm going to remain on it until I hear back some decisions from other schools. How about you with Kentucky? I'm just amazed you haven't heard anything from any other schools yet! I think March is going to be a big month for most of our decisions. Are you regretting not applying anywhere?

I would love to go to Baylor, but I have two reservations; 1) the cost of tuition, and 2) the average private starting salary - its only 10k more a year than Creighton's.. what gives? What's the deal with the waitlists and deferrals? Are they crazy? It's better than a rejection though right - i mean they def. want you! So whats the diff between deferred and waitlisted?

Well, I certainly have a lot of places I feel like I should have applied to...Tulane, Iowa, American, and Temple...just to name a few :) I'm seeing people with our numbers getting accepted to places like these while I'm just waiting around for any news at all. I'm almost scared to go home to my permanent address to find all the rejections there, lol. I was wondering if you had visited any of the schools on your list. I'd be curious to know what you thought of them. No, I haven't considered a June retake. I think I've just come to accept that I suck at the LSAT. Plus, a lot of the schools I applied to won't even look at February scores for this cycle. I might have to look into it, though. If there's anything that can help me out, I'll do it.

thanks for wishing me luck! your stats are pretty good - hopefully we can be classmates at UW next semester =) ps: i'm not a resident

yeah, the cycle is getting more depressing as time passes. but at least i have somewhere to go in the fall! all of my applications went complete roughly around 1/10

and i had all my applications in between 12/3 and 12/7. Took a while to go complete bc I was waiting on a transcript from a school i took courses at a while back.

Congrats on your first acceptance, and with $. Sweet! It feels so good to get that first acceptance doesn't it? I am happy for you and hope to congratulate you on many more. ;)

On St. Louis and the Scholarship! I knew things would start to happen for you.

For the kind words about Georgia, it stung, but wasn't so bad because I probably wouldn't have gone there. I'm starting to lean towards U of I, and i'm going to their open house this friday.

LOL - Kentucky is an awesome school. Wife Swap had this couple that was the epitome of hillbilly. But from what I hear Lexington is a great place to live and the U of KY is a great school. It seems like they are trying really hard to raise there rankings and are rejecting/waitlisting qualified candidates. I just put that to make myself feel better because they flat out rejected me and there letter wasn't very nice. Something to the affect of "we do not feel you are a qualifed candidate for admission to our law school...". Ouch!

Thanks for the vote of confidence, I need to get some good news soon! I'll draft that LOCI tomorrow, I got straight A's since my transcript. Ugh, Akron and NKU were the 2 schools I was really hoping for a good scholarship

on SLU! great news! and with a great scholarship! you are on your way to law school. :) ...many more acceptances to come. congrats.

Maryland and Texas don't know what they're missing. All your tops choices are still in play! Plus, you have a great scholarship.

I was excited when I got it. I really like Case, but still am leaning towards U of Illinois, which is where my ASD is Friday. I think I may schedule an individual visit for Iowa.

thanks so much!!!! i'm still rooting for you and the rest of your cycle!

Ha ha.. the Omaha Beef are an indoor football team. It's the funniest name ever! GO Seattle GO GO Seattle!! Oh, and GO Kentucky GO GO Kentucky! I firmly believe that chanting makes things happen. (If you don't believe me try chanting, "Chug Chug Chug Chug..." at the next keg party you go to and see what happens!)

thanks!! and good luck to you on the rest of your cycle!

thanks! i am happy i got into some school! that takes a big worry off my shoulders and now i just have to wait it out. good luck w/ the rest of your cycle!!

Thanks for the congrats. And kudos to you for big $$ from SLU. Top choice?

Thanks for the kind words. I think I am going to call them just to figure out why, that way I may be able to do something about it to the other law schools. Not getting accepted while being in 75% median in GPA and LSAT is strange. As far as Temple goes, I live in Delaware which is 20 min from the school. Philly is great and the school has a great rep. Pretty good choice for a state school.

Congrats on SEATTLE!!! That is such good news! I told you that chanting works! j/k ;)

Thanks for the congrats! No T-Shirt yet, but I'm sure I'll get it soon. :) Looks like you got into a couple of good schools, St. Louis and Seattle, congrats to you too! Good luck on the others!

Yeah! That is SO cool. I am happy for you! I knew you wanted that school bad so the waitlisting suspense probably made the acceptance all the better. ;) As far as how my Utah acceptance affects my decisions? I am this (" ") close (yes, THAT close!) to withdrawing from every other school on my list. I can't see anything topping Utah.

A huge congrats to you on Kentucky - knew it was a top choice for you. HUGE congrats. :)

Great news on Kentucky!!! I have a phone interview with Stetson tomorrow, i'll be sure to post what they say. Yeah, I guess i'll have to send seat deposits to schools I would go while I wait for letters from others. Most schools I have had so far have a small refundable deposit due first.

I sure hope so. I would be amazed if I got into UF! Congrats on Kentucky! Is that your next choice after WUSTL and Wisconsin?

Congrats on UK! I was deferred again. I was wondering exactly what you sent in after you were deferred. I need some ideas! UK is my top choice!

thanks. i applied to IU-B on Jan 31st but I retook the Feb LSAT so I didn't become complete until 2/23 (when the score was released). I am really happy about IU-B. Its a great school and now I can just cross my fingers and wait for some of my reaches to come through. Good luck with the cycle!

On Kentucky! Hopefully, if you go there you can witness their return to basketball prominence.

Hey. I did send in a letter, but as i've been deferred again, I think I might send another. if you would mind, i would really appreciate reading your letter! Thank you for your help! Hopefully I'll see you at UK! (*Crosses fingers*)

Thank you sooo much! The letter and the email helped a lot! :) Seriously, you are a life saver.

You Should consider visiting a school soon, it was a really great experience! I'm sure you have read a lot about the law school experience, but the tour really clears things up. Sitting it on my first law school class was great and really put me at ease. Where are you living right now? Would you have an opportunity to visit UK?

Yea, I think I'm still leaning towards Illinois. The OSU ding hurt a bit but I'm not sweating it too much. Kentucky made the NCAA tournament though! So you have a new team to root for. Is Kentucky #1 so far of the schools you've been admitted to?

that UK acceptance is awesome, i can see you were really excited! thats great!

I've visited Kentucky a couple times because a friend went to undergrad there. I LOVED it. Have you been there?

Congrats on all of your acceptances so far, especially Unvi. of Kansas!

congrats on your acceptance to UK. Your cycle is looking up.

these outstanding apps are killing me!

I'm so happy for you about KU! And as for Wisconsin, I actually called yesterday and asked if they knew if I would hear before the April 1st deposit deadline for most schools. The woman I spoke to said that they tell people 6-8 weeks for review (I sent Jan 7th and went complete Jan 30th, so my 8 weeks is up next Wednesday) but that she really didn't know if I would hear before then. If I get dinged from Iowa (which I think I did) I will put down a deposit for my next choice and just pray not to be waitlisted at Wisconsin... I really don't want to hold out all summer for a school I have next to no chance at anyway, but I know I would. I just want to know where I'm going so I can be settled. And Mexico was great, haha. Nice distraction from this law school stress.

I am actually very positive about the whole thing. Looking at lsn, there is absolutely no reason I shouldn't have been rejected at Fordham, which makes me feel a whole lot better. I guess that's what I get for not really applying to any safety schools. A little bit of uncertainty's good every once in a while. These waitlists might make for a very long summer, though :)

my status changed to decision on the 12th - haven't heard anything yet, but i'm not getting my hopes up.

for the congrats. :) yeah, i'll probably try and woo them, though i really doubt it will work. i'm certain that my numbers aren't high enough to be pulled from the waitlist, but who knows? lol. this whole cycle is so stressful! i just want to hear from everyone...right now! haha.

I really have no idea of where I want to go. I'll visit IU-B and Cornell in the next two weeks, so I will hopefully have a #1 soon. Do you have any top choices right now?

hey, thanks for the congrats. i am still disappointed about the UT rejection and i am hoping something better comes along. congrats on Kentucky!! And I think you got a good chance at Wisconsin! I applied to them because I have family in Madison and would love to go there.

I'm not suprised, my LSAT is 3 points out of their bottom 25%. They dean told me that they are receiving 25% more applications than normal, too. On top of that it is a small school, only 200 students. Moreover, I don't think I would be able to go anyway. I only applied because my girlfriend wanted to try a few local places, but their tuition is high and its an upscale area. The only place I would consider going near my hometown is Temple because it is a state school. So far it looks like Texas for me! Where are you thinking?

And Congrats on WL at OSU. Will you send them a LOCI? Thanks for the tip about UCLA, I just emailed the Dean.

Yeah, UKY looks great. Philly is a great area, but I'm a little excited to try a rural area for a bit. My goal after law school is to work an elite firm in Philly so I better spend some time in the country while a can. Where do you live now? If you have a Myspace you should friend request, I feel like we've gotten to know eachother during this whole process! myspace.com/timmitchell85

on OSU! faaaaaantastic. does that make OSU a top contender? nice job, anh012100. :) i'll be rootin' for ya!

Looks like you just did a few withdrawals yourself. ;) I think its better to withdraw as soon as possible so some lucky person on the waitlist can get in. Yes, I am pretty sure I'll end up at Utah. The state has a lot of natural beauty, the law school is ranked high, in-state tuition is very affordable, 90% of the grads pass the bar, everyone who wants to find a job does, and all my friends and family live here. What about you? Right now what 's your #1? Ketucky?

That was a really interesting read. I did email the Dean and he said "thanks for your interest and patience." What schools are you still waiting to hear from that you would consider over Kentucky?

Thanks for the congrats! I was just thinking I need to re-evaluate my preferences. Florida is definitely one of my top choices. I thought the deferral was a terrible sign, but they came through for me in the end. I would be happy to go to any of these schools, but the warm weather in Florida would be a very hard thing to pass up. Which do you think is the better school overall - UF or Case?

Great news with OSU, I'm glad UK is treating you well too. It's nice to feel like more than a LSAT and GPA matrix when dealing with all these schools. Yeah, I signed up for Myspace about 3 weeks ago. I avoided it forever too, but when I decided to move away from I wanted a way to keep up with friends and family. Its actually pretty cool, I don't know why I was against if for so long. You should give it a shot. Anyway, Northern Delaware is an urban area. Wilmington, DE is a pretty big city considering how small Delaware is. The suburbs of Wilmington on not rural at all, it's not until you get down south that things start getting rural. Everyone up here calls it "slow, lower delaware". Plus, in Wilmington you are about 20 minutes from Philly. Delaware has a lot of business but the city dosen't have a whole lot of night life. Where are you from, anyway? Did you got to school in your hometown? I got an fee waiver from Rutgers Camden today so I'll apply there, why not put out another application to make this process last two more months than it should have!

hey thanks for the congrats. i am really happy about UNC. i was hoping to get into a warm-weather area (b/c i am from TX) and NC is a great place weather-wise and reputation wise. and congrats on IU-Indy. they are shooting up the rankings! good luck w/ the rest of your cycle!!

what is your top choice? i want to attend indy law...if you are not attending, please open up seat for me

ON IU-INDY.

It's the waitlist. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed, but I'm making other plans. They don't generally take people off of the waitlist. I am going to keep trying though! It can never hurt!

Someone is on it...and it's you. Kansas and UK are awesome options.

Yeah, I can't believe I decided to try for Rutgers so late. They did send the email and had fee waiver, so it wasen't a big deal. I'll probably get an offer the day after I send in my final deposit to Tech. I heard Lubbock had a few wineries, I'm a big wine buff so I'll look forward to that. I still haven't gotten word from half my schools so who knows what will happen.

this time on KU! it'd definitely be a fun basketball season :) (i have march madness on the brain). yeah, right now i'm really thinking that UNM is a good choice. i'm living here (albuquerque) now, and i've made some connections with lawyers and whatnot...plus the inexpensive tuition...it's just looking like the best choice. it feels good to at least FEEL like i'm nearing the end of this cycle. haha. congratulation to you again - you have some great choices!

Thanks! I was actually accepted for the spring term, which I probably won't go for, but I'm still on a WL for the fall..Congrats on Kansas and Indiana! Have you sent in any deposits just yet? You have so many schools to hear back from yet--that's crazy! :)

It hurts a little bit, because I love the St. Louis area and doubt that I can wait it out. I hope that your news is much better than mine.

It hurts a little bit, because I love the St. Louis area and doubt that I can wait it out. I hope that your news is much better than mine.

You've had tons of stuff happen today... congrats on the WUSTL WL that school is crazy competitive! I hope you get in! And, yes, I am very happy about Utah! Good luck with your decision, I'll keep an eye on ya.

On Nebraska! Sorry to hear you didn't like Kansas that much. Looks like we are in the same torturous boat at Wash. U. I hope that you get off, I know how much you want them.

Thanks for the kind words. Looks like you've got a bunch of options here. Good luck decding. I'll be checking to see how your cycle ends.

thanks a lot...best of luck to you.

doesn't know what they're missing. I hope to hear from I-B and Wisconsin soon, I did a voluntary interview with Indiana a couple months ago so I thought I'd hear sooner. Enough with these waitlists!

Thanks! How about you? Decision date drawing closer, any choices made yet?

I'm so happy to hear from someone else going to UK (or at least seriously considering it!) For a while I thought I'd be the only person with an "a" next to my status. As for the scholarship - I received the letter in the mail about a week after my decison letter. Weeks later, after being ridiculously impressed with UK reaching out to thier accepted students, I emailed Dean Bakert saying how much I appreciated all they're doing. I don't know if this is connected to my email, but a few days later I got an email from Dean Bakert telling me that they upped my scholarship. Maybe I sucked up a little, but I was okay with it because 1. they really have impressed me and 2. it worked! I'm going to be moving from Portland, Or. and have never been within 500 miles of Kentucky. Even though I know this is the right decision, I'm a bit nervous. Any general advice about the area/school? Did you go to accepted students day?

and then i saw the part about you not having visited the campus yet. I guess if I'm going to law school I should learn how to read :)

For putting your deposit down! I havn't heard from UCLA after I sent them my LOCI, other than a thank you. Here's hoping you hear better news from Wisconsin than me.

Good luck with hearing back from UW! They didn't want me, but I'm okay with it...I don't really know that I would have picked it over UF or Baylor anyways. I am kinda curious about something...What kept you from applying to Baylor?

Thanks! I do hope I get accepted to SMU... but this wait is not helping my nerves.

feels good to be decided! and you, you're so close! i wish you the best on this home stretch. :)

I didn't get your email - which probably means I mis-typed (if that's a word.) Any plans to visit before orientation? I'm trying to figure out a way to fly there for a few days in July to find a place to live.

Hello! So I was wondering you thoughts on KU and what kind of things you learned? Im heavily leaning toward KU, but have not had a chance to visit yet. Also, glad to hear Lawrence is dog friendly I have a very peppy golden retreiver! Thanks

Hello! So I was wondering you thoughts on KU and what kind of things you learned? Im heavily leaning toward KU, but have not had a chance to visit yet. Also, glad to hear Lawrence is dog friendly I have a very peppy golden retreiver! Thanks

I didn't attend SMU for UG, but I'd LOVE to attend their law school! Fingers crossed... And best of luck to you on your remaining schools!

On your decision to attend Kentucky! Awesome school - since you'll be attending, I have forgiven them for rejecting me. ;)

On making your decision. IT'S OVER!

i visited FSU and loved it, so that's where im headed. I hope things go great for you at Kentucky.

I'm glad to see you've made a decision! I only wish I could be so decisive. I'm definitely holding out until June to make any final decision :) Thanks for the info on Baylor. I'm still considering it, and I'm glad to hear it's that close to a few big cities. I'm definitely with you on the whole moving out of state thing...I don't know a whole lot about where I want to go, but it never once crossed my mind to stay in South Dakota, lol... Kentucky didn't offer you a scholarship? That's crazy...That's one thing that's holding me back from committing to any school right now, but hopefully I'll be making a decision soon!

I'm so happy that both of us got into good schools and our cycles are over! Thanks for the good wishes and best of luck at UK! (Also, if you know of anyone who might want a roommate in Dallas, PM me please.)

yah i am pscyhed about being able to go to SMU for law. the only thing i am worried about is its expensive as hell to live in that area of dallas and the school's tuition too. if i am able to get any more $ from them, i may be going there. and congrats on UK! you must be so excited to have made your decision! i am just waiting and waiting for that day to come.

I'm glad you made a decision. I sent a deposit to Texas Tech but i'm still holding out for Villanova. Languishing on the waitlist for a few months is nerve wrenching

LOL, no I am just a fan of the brand (and know a little too much about it). I figured this name would keep me as anonymous as possible. I can't imagine working at LV--I hear it is an amazing experience!

sorry about IUB! thats rough but congrats on kentucky. great basketball program too like UNC :)

Sorry, I haven\'t been on here in like 6 weeks, so I just got your comment. Email me if you have any questions or want to know anything about Lexington. Have you found housing yet? Since I obviously rarely remember to check this site, it would probably be best to email me.

& Congrats on Kentucky!
