If you really think my profile is fake, email me and ask me about it before posting something derogatory on here. If you think it's silly that Houston and GW admitted me while Charlotte denied me, join the club, and consider the extent to which our country judges individuals primarily on their past actions rather than on their present character and future potential.

Two felony character and fitness disclosures from 2005.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12/2/10: WL'ed by Texas Tech, told they would re-review in the Spring.

12/8/10: Dinged by email by CSL.

12/15/10: In at Houston! "Decision Rendered- Admitted" on the status checker.

12/20/10: Admission letter from U of H by mail! Separate letter stating that the offer is conditional upon their receipt of official documentation of my C&F disclosures that is consistent with my application. Based on the wording ("You may begin your search for these documents at the relevant college, police department, or court..."), it is a generic form letter sent to all with C&F disclosures, whether academic or criminal.

12/29/10: Dinged by status checker at U Maine, letter received 1/4/2011.

1/6/11: Got email from Charlotte offering AAMPLE. Laughed, then got a bad taste in my mouth about it. They denied me but offered me AAMPLE, which is supposed to be for students with borderline numbers. It seems plain as day that they offered this to me because of my C&F, as a way of extracting additional dollars from me. Dear CSL, I am not desperate to go to any law school, let alone yours. Sincerely, me.

1/7/11: NE deferred me to regular applicant pool with decision to be rendered by 4/15/11.

1/10/11: Dinged by email at Georgetown.

1/14/11: Dinged by status checker at Franklin Pierce/UNH.

1/18/11: In by email from GW.

1/26/11: Snail mail admission package from GW. I had applied ED, I was admitted RD, no scholarship.

2/14/11: Under review at Harvard.

2/15/11: Dinged by email from UVA.

3/8/11: Under review at Chicago. Very slow past six weeks.

3/11/11: Dinged by email (telling me to check the status checker) from Northwestern.

3/24/11: Dinged by email from Chicago. UR dates 3/8, 3/16, 3/24.

3/28/11: Checked GW financial aid online, saw $7,000 need-based grant award.

3/31/11: Waitlisted at Northeastern. On 1/7/11, I was deferred to regular applicant pool, today that was changed to actual waitlist.

3/31/11: Dinged by status checker only at Fordham.

4/5/11: Rejected by snail mail letter from Texas Tech with (possibly boilerplate) instructions to call for advice on how to reapply for better results next year. If other schools normally do this, I feel like this text has tended not to appear on letters from schools that clearly do not want me to reapply.

4/8/11: Dinged by email from Yale.

4/13/11: Dinged by email from Harvard.

5/23/11: Still waiting to hear from Texas Wesleyan. Scholarship money and other compelling personal circumstances may convince me to stay local, otherwise I will head to DC in August.

5/26/11: Received notice of $2,200 "tuition grant" from Houston, 41 days after I withdrew...
