atlantisdan (2022-2023)

Jan 31st: Was Accepted at MC Law after visit to campus; school is a bit far for me though

Feb 1st: Accepted into Belmont University School of Law's Charter Class. May take this opportunity, but still waiting to see what other opportunities arise.

Feb 4th: Accepted into Lincoln Memorial-Duncan School of Law in Knoxville. I like the school, nice facilities and state of the art technology. Still a newer school, only 2 years old, and still seeking ABA certification. I like the school, but it may not be the right fit for me at this point.

Feb 8th: Arkansas-Little Rock requested an addendum emphasizing my interest in their school and location. I politely refused stating that I did not feel it would be appropriate to write such a statement because the distance to the school was an issue. I was promptly placed in the "deferred" stack after that.

Feb 11th: U of Louisville placed my file on hold until after reviewing the full pool of applicants. This was disappointing.

Feb 19th: Beginning to wonder if any of my top schools are going to fall my way.

Feb 23rd: Samford finally moved my file from Complete to under review. Very slow process it appears there.

Feb 23rd: John Marshall has moved my status to "schedulled for review"

Feb 24th: Memphis has changed status to: "Decision rendered-letter in the mail"

Feb 25th: Nothing in Mail yet from memphis...may be a little too eager...

Feb25th: Visited Samford University. Very nice campus but maybe too much for my personal comfort level. Im looking at Public Service and really question the private school debt amounts on a public service salary. Of course, Id have to be accepted somewhere, and that isnt happening like i thought it would...

Feb 28: Mercer Visit, The school has definately exceeded my expectations

Feb 28: Acceptence Letter from Memphis. Large packet...Good News

Mar 2: Waitlisted at Samford. This doesn't concern me. I had already decided I did not want to go to school here, just wasn't the right atmosphere for me.

Mar 3: Accepted at John Marshall via email and status checker. Scholarship Packet to arrive in mail.

Mar 4: Decision letter in mail from U of Tennessee. I fully expect this to be a letter of rejection.

Mar 8: In at Charlotte via status checker

Mar 8: After phone conversation with Louisville, I have decided to treat my application as a waitlist. I was told that a hold would remain on my application through april and maybe into may before it would be revisited. This is too late in the cycle to matter.

Mar 9: Accepted at Mercer via email. I like this school alot so this is very good news.

Mar 9: Witdrew application at Louisville. They appeared surprised by my decision and stressed that I had a very strong application. Makes me wonder why I was placed on hold till May then...

Mar 16: I would say its better than 90% that I attend Mercer

Mar 26: Fully Committed to Mercer

Was forced to withdraw from Mercer due to financial difficulties, since it is very late in the cycle, it will be a challenge to find a seat this year...that doesn't mean that I will not try though.
