11/25/09- I just got into American!!! I am super excited. It is my 1st admission decision of my application cycle and a great way to start off! Good Thanksgiving present as well!

11/28/09 - Just got waitlisted to DePaul. Not really too bummed out though because I have American. Getting your 1st acceptance really takes the pressure off. Let's see how things continue to go!

12/01/09 - Boston University wants to see my grades from this current term before they make a decision. Its not a problem though because I am doing extremely well this semester so I will be proud to send them in!

12/18/09 - Just got accepted to University of Illinois - Urbana Champagne!!! I got the email this morning...What a great way to start my day! I actually thought it was a scam at 1st because of the email notification lol but then I checked the status checker and it said ADMIT!!! YAY! I haven't gotten a blatant rejection yet so I am super excited!!!!

12/23/09 - Got Accepted to Penn State today!! Extra excited about it. I've been having a great last few days! It was great to get home and inform my family of yet another acceptance. God is truly Awesome!!!

01/04/10 - Returned to school with a nice little present in my student mailbox. Got accepted to Howard University with a 15,000 dollar per year scholarship. Decision has gotten really hard now. I have some thinking to do (and I still haven't heard from most of my schools either!)

01/07/10 - Got accepted to Loyola Chicago! Super excited about it. This cycle is going really well thus far! I am not naive to the case that the rejection might come but I thank God for allowing me to be this successful up to this point. Another factor added into my decision...

01/14/10 - My interview for Vanderbilt is tomorrow! I am a little nervous but confident that I will do fine...

01/15/10 - Got accepted to Northeastern University today. I'm a little surprised though. I sent my application in on 01/07/10 and the decision was made on 01/11/10. It was a 4 day turn around, that's sick! I wonder if they make all their decisions so quickly.

01/19/10 - Got into George Washington today. Normally I would be excited about getting into a school of their caliber but I'm not. I immediately withdrew from GW today once I got the acceptance letter. There administration was extremely rude and I knew after that conversation that GW would not be a good place for me...I am glad to know that they felt I was qualified enough for an acceptance though!

01/22/10 - Got into Chicago Kent today! I am super excited! I am on cloud 9 right now. I can't believe that my cycle is going so well. I can say without any doubt in my mind that God is AMAZING!!!

01/28/10 - Today is my BIRTHDAY! and I got an amazing gift. Got a call from Cardozo-Yeshiva law school and not only did I get accepted but they offered me 30,000 dollars per year. That is such a blessing!

01/28/10 - Can my birthday get any better!?! I got 45K from Penn State and full tuition from Chicago-Kent that totals $113,400!!! I am just so excited!

02/06/10 - Got my acceptance Letter to John Marshall-Chicago today. They also offered me $60,000! I am going to have to start narrowing down and making some tough decisions...I stilll have schools to hear from too!

03/03/10 - I am SUPER EXCITED!!! I am on vacation and I just remembered that I didn't update on BU. I got a call from the Assistant Director of Admission at Boston University letting me know that I was ACCEPTED! Even thinking about it again has gotten me excited YAY!!!

03/05/10 - Got accepted to Georgia State University today. I'm starting to think I applied to too many schools because every acceptance makes my decision just that much harder. I'm am thankful for the favor God has given me though.

03/17/10 - Just got an email from Emory informing that I had been waitlisted. It stung a little because it was one of the schools I really wanted to go to but I am OK! I have been blessed with a ton of schools that are great and that want me so I have nothing to be sad about. God is still Amazing and I am still extremely grateful for all that he has afforded me.

03/20/10 - Got a letter in the mail from Boston University informing me that I had received a $30,000 per year scholarship!! That is AWESOME!! I am going to Boston this weekend for a preview day to see if I like it. If it appeals to me then that is definitely where I will be in the fall! YAY ME...YAY GOD!!!

we are basically numbers twins! keep this updated and I will too! Really hoping for American!

depaul??

Here is the hyper link haha i signed in

Monday, November 02 2009 at 07:00 PM

Wow, wish I had known that! I have a very similar list of schools that im applying to, and while my numbers aren't as strong as yours, I would be furious. I guess if you wanted to go there you could always send an LOCI. Thanks for the info, man! good luck! i'll def. keep in touch since we've got smiilar stats and schools

Congrats on UIUC! I wouldn't worry about DePaul- they waitlisted me too. UIUC is a much better school, anyway! I'm really hoping to get a big fat yes from Loyola.

Monday, November 02 2009 at 07:00 PM

Well, i got waitlisted at DePaul as well. Hopefully my cycle continues to mirror yours and i get accepted to UIUC. Congrats!

Georgia
Saturday, October 17 2009 at 08:00 PM

you have applied to quite a few GA schools...interested in the Atlanta market? Well, hopefully it will recover shortly lol.

Tuesday, December 23 2008 at 07:00 PM

congrats on Loyola Chicago! I'm still waiting to find out, but it is in the mail!

Monday, November 02 2009 at 07:00 PM

Your cycle is so sick. Hopefully I have the exact same luck with the schools we have in common. So far 2/2 (WL depaul, IN loyola)

Monday, November 02 2009 at 07:00 PM

Illinois and Wisconsin are tied for #1 at this point in time. How about you?

Monday, November 02 2009 at 07:00 PM

Yeah, I feel you. I go into review this friday at illinois, so pray for me, haha.

Wednesday, October 28 2009 at 08:00 PM

Thanks. My GPA is a little inaccurate now (It's a little bit higher than what I have posted. I've been meaning to update it). But I think they could pretty much tell that I didn't really want to go there. I don't think my packet to michigan screamed "ADMIT ME!" lol. I am surprised though that it wasn't a blatant rejection. I did write a why Michigan essay though lol. The process is so subjective though that I would still apply if I were you.

Saturday, January 23 2010 at 07:00 PM

Congrats on your amazing cycle! I am applying to some of the same schools and I hope I do as well as you have!

Howard
Wednesday, January 13 2010 at 07:00 PM

How did Howard notify you that you are accepted?

stats
Tuesday, January 26 2010 at 07:00 PM

Hmm...we have similar stats. Hopefully I can make cardozo with a scholarship

Friday, September 25 2009 at 08:00 PM

Hey, just wanted to congratulate you on a great cycle so far, especially the full tuition at Kent! That's awesome!

Congrats!

YOU ARE KICKING ASS MAN!@@ Awesome work dude

Congrats!
Sunday, November 01 2009 at 07:00 PM

What a great cycle.Congrats on having so many great options. Schools see that from your community involvment you bring much to the table. Too bad about the GWU experience. I hope you explained to them why so they will know. what are your thoughts on the Chicago legal market?

Wednesday, February 10 2010 at 07:00 PM

Congrats on such an amazing cycle! With my similar stats, I hope my cycle is as good as yours! I applied much later than you though, so I hope that doesn't hurt me too badly. Do you think your Why [insert school name] Essays are what's putting you over the top? I didn't write any.

go to illinois!
Monday, October 05 2009 at 08:00 PM

Wow, you've got a great list of schools. I'm surprised Depaul waitlisted you and Illinois took you. I have the opposite problem! Either way, I hope it's a tough decision for you, but based on $$$, it looks like I'll be seeing you at Kent next year!

Friday, March 05 2010 at 07:00 PM

man...BU...thats insane! Not trying to be an *!@&$, but being a URM is awesome for law schools. Im the average white guy with similar numbers, and they essentially laughed in my face at BU...congrats tho!

Cardozo
Tuesday, August 04 2009 at 08:00 PM

maybe you withdrawing your app from cardozo will help my chances of getting in. you definitely have some decisions to make. my vote is BU.

Monday, July 21 2008 at 08:00 PM

Congrats on BU!! I'm in at American and waiting on BU. I hope to get a decision soon since the waiting is killing me.

Congrats!
Saturday, December 25 2010 at 07:00 PM

Your cycle is so inspirational! We're very similar (URM, #s, from big cities, acceptances). Can't wait to see where we end up. Congrats again!
