1/21/10--Got rejected from Wayne State today, I was not expecting this at all, at least not without being wait listed. Man.

1/22/10--Got accepted to Suffolk and rejected from Northeastern on the same day, lol, which completes my run at Boston. I got accepted to 2/3 law schools that I applied to. I was happy to see Suffolk, Northeastern didn't really surprise me, and since they start reviewing on the 1st for regular admission, they obviously rejected me pretty fast. Why does in-state law schools take so long? Man.

1/27/10--Got accepted to St. Mary's today, first one inside the state of Texas, it's about time, geez.

2/1/10--Got a scholarship offer from St. Mary's today, Dean's Scholarship for 8,000, have to stay in top ten percent. This gives St. Mary's a slight edge over New England and Suffolk pre-visit.

2/6/10--Got a scholarship from New England for 15,000 per year, 45,000 overall, much better requirements than St. Mary's, which now puts New England in the lead.

2/15/10--Officially waitlisted at MSU after my "re-review." Oh well.

2/16/10--Rejected from Houston today. This one really sucks because Houston was probably my top choice. Via status checker.

2/22/10--Updated to a "Hold" Status at FSU today via status checker.

3/1/10--"Decision In Transit" from UF today. I guess I'll get it in the mail in the next couple of days. I'm fully expecting a rejection based on the timing and the way that UF usually does their cycle.

3/3/10--Waitlisted at South Texas?! I have to say I was really expecting admission here, and was kind of hoping for it as South Texas was getting more appealing. Hopefully admitted after wait list we will see.

3/8/10--Rejected from UF today, like I said earlier, I was expecting it.

3/16/10-So, I'm going to St. Mary's next Tuesday for admitted student day reception. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

3/29/10--So I liked St. Mary's, liked the people, deans, profs, alumni, didn't like the location so much (very low income neighborhood) but outside of that it was fine. Dropped a deposit there, still waiting on Miami, FSU, UNC, and STCL.

4/1/10--Back under Review at FSU.

4/2/10--Decision made and in the mail at FSU, going to assume a rejection here.

4/5/10--It's my birthday today. Hopefully I won't receive any rejections in the mail.

4/8/10--I was admitted to Michigan State! I don't know if I'll attend yet, but it's nice to be accepted somewhere else after a long drought.

4/10/10--Rejected at FSU via snail mail, no scholly offer from MSU.

4/19/10--Admitted at South Texas! Pretty happy bout this.

4/26/10--Michigan State flew up for the weekend for a visit and I had a great time. It's a great school, great faculty, great students. But with South Texas in the mix can I really say no to the Houston area? I'm visiting South Texas on Wednesday, so we'll see. Miami tells me I'll have a decision by the 30th, that's four days they better get a move on!

And then there was one.....
4/26/10--UNC has rejected me, finally. Of all the law school admissions processes they had the worst one I think. No online fee payments, no status updates, and a very smug rejection letter. Anyone else experience this?

4/29/10--Decided to attend MSU. Visited South Texas, wasn't impressed with my prospects there, didn't like the Houston market because of immediate competition and dwindling jobs, and I knew that a South Texas degree is only good for well...South Texas. So unless Miami accepts me, Sparty On!

4/29/10--Officially waitlisted at Miami today. Haha, more waiting. But if nothing changes, MSU it is.
