Additional info & updates

12/7/09: took the LSAT for the first time today. anxiously awaiting my score!

12/28/09: 168. Holding out (a tiny shred of) hope for NYU!!!!

1/19/10: Complete at Fordham, Columbia, Cardozo and UVA. Haven't heard anything from NYU. Decided to apply to UCLA and UVA because I got fee waivers. We'll see what happens...

1/20/10: Complete at NYU...finally!

1/28/10: Complete at UCLA.

2/5/10: Lots of people with my complete date and later have gotten letters/been able to log into the NYU admitted students' website. Things are not looking good :(

2/8/10: "Complete/Pending Review" date updated to 2/8/10 on the UVA status checker. No news, though.

2/11/10: Placed on Reserve at Columbia. Pleasantly surprised! Going to ride it out.

2/16/10: In at UVA! SO unexpected. So exciting!

2/23/10: Monrad Paulsen scholarship at Cardozo- guaranteed full tuition for 3 years. Definitely a game-changer.

3/5/10: In at Fordham! Hoping for some nice scholarship money soon.

3/10/10: come on, NYU! is this because i thought i was too good for your undergrad? please let me in already :(

3/16/10: still no word on scholarship $ from Fordham or UVa (not really expecting any). getting soo antsy waiting for NYU, that I emailed them a SECOND pre-decision LOCI, in the vain hope that it will tip the scales in my favor before the next admissions batch. I figure I've got nothing to lose at this point. even if they hate my LSAT that much, they'll still probably waitlist me due to GPA.

3/17/10: Fordham scholly!!!!

4/2/10: WL at UCLA. Probably because I showed zero interest and only applied with fee waiver. Oh, well. Withdrew.

4/8/10: NYU, WHERE ARE YOU???

4/10/10: Withdrew my full scholarship from Cardozo. Painful.

4/12/10: Withdrew from UVa. Even more painful. On the bright side, I put down the first deposit at Fordham. I will be attending Fordham unless NYU or CLS comes knocking.

4/22/10: To end a weird cycle- NYU rejection letter in the mail. C'est la vie, I suppose. Will be hanging out on the CLS waitlist, but Fordham, here I come!

Someone wants to stay in NYC.... haha Good luck!

Thanks

Thanks and good luck on your cycle!

Wednesday, January 06 2010 at 07:00 PM

Thanks! Frankly, I was shocked by the NYU acceptance. I'm sending good vibes your way.

Thanks! Best of luck to you!

I only wrote a two-sentence thing about how I'd like to go to UCLA because of their Law and Philosophy program (I'm a phil major) but other than that, no special essay. :) Good luck on NYU! I check their admitted student's website like a crazy person.

Hey
Tuesday, August 25 2009 at 08:00 PM

Hey... Nope, I'm not in MHC. I only became interested in academics my freshman year, so my HS grades were average. I hope your prediction becomes reality... Do you have any special WE post-graduation from our TTT UG lol?

Tuesday, August 25 2009 at 08:00 PM

Oh, well that's good then. I never did BALA. I'm double majoring in history and political science, and kind of regret not doing BALA (or actually trying to do well in HS and making it into MHC lol). I was thinking about deferring for a year, but I don't see where I'd be able to get a halfway decent full-time job. A non-URM with a 3.97 and 168 just got into NYU. I don't know if that's good news or bad news for us...

Held at CLS today, twin. Just an FYI lol.

Thanks

Thanks for the congrats, and good luck during your cycle!

Thanks for the kind words. Good luck to you, too. Sorry about the Wl, but at least you dodged the wave of rejections that went out.

Awesome job on UVA, numbers twin!! :)

Congrats on UVA!

UCLA!!

THANK YOU! You applied just a little bit later than me, so your # should be coming up soon :) good luck!! Are you prepared to switch coasts?!

thanks for the congrats. my softs aren't too spectacular I am on the executive committee of an investment team that manages money for my school's endowment and I'm in the jazz band. I had an internship at Merrill Lynch and did some economics research also. good luck on NYU.

Would you do Cardozo full ride over UVA sticker? Just curious. I've seen your post on TLS about NYU, I am pulling for you! Good luck!

Thanks!
Sunday, January 24 2010 at 07:00 PM

Congrats on Fordham! NYU is next, they just want to build up the suspense first! ;)

UVA
Sunday, January 24 2010 at 07:00 PM

No love from UVA for me, and I am a resident. They must have figured me out on LSN and found out about my desire to return to NY. ha

Let's hope NYU realizes how much they need us in their 2013 class. They'd be foolish to pass us up. Good luck!

UVA
Monday, October 19 2009 at 08:00 PM

We received our decisions around the same time, so keep an eye on your mail box !! :D UVA $ was so unexpected, I'm still in disbelief.

Fordham!
Tuesday, August 25 2009 at 08:00 PM

Glad to see you got the max amount of $$ at Fordham! Where are you currently leaning?

Wednesday, June 24 2009 at 08:00 PM

I'm actually visiting UMich for the first time next month so I'll see how I like it. I think right now it's between BU and Michigan, since that money is tough to pass up... Good luck with NYU!

Still no word from NYU?
Tuesday, August 25 2009 at 08:00 PM

^mao. first of all, ouch! and second, i got into Macaulay Honors College which is free, plus $750 a year stipend, plus MacBook, plus free semester abroad. NYU was 40k+/year. no brainer.

omg yes, that was TOTALLY me. I was trying to ask good questions, was I being a gunner? Is that what we call them? haha. Clinics sound pretty good at UVA, and they're something really important to me. Loved ASW! BTW--was it the braces that gave me away?? I saw a blonde girl sitting diagnoal behind me on the other side of the room. you? (equally creepy, haha)

Btw, why do you need to stay in New York? Omg, I'm getting the same feeling about California. I'm such a local girl, it'll be so hard to leave!! *COLD FEET.

aww, thanks, mao. no hard feelings. NYU kicked my ass yesterday anyway. where are you headed?

congrats on your decision
Monday, January 25 2010 at 07:00 PM

fordham is a great school. enjoy.

Sunday, September 13 2009 at 08:00 PM

Hah, thanks. Finally waitlisted - oh well. I am pretty sure Fordham only offered me 60k, lol, and I've also heard that's actually at the higher end of what they give out, which means your scholarship is amazing. Congratulations!

Congrats
Tuesday, August 04 2009 at 08:00 PM

Congrats on Fordham! Happy to see that you'll be in the city, too!

i appreciate your advice. i would have loved to go to UVa. but i am recently married and my husband accepted a job at an NYC investment bank starting in july. we don't want to be apart. i will hardly see him during law school as it is, so imagine what it would be like if we lived 7 hours apart. bottom line- i chose fordham for personal reasons. plus, i got a pretty nice scholarship there :)

reply to your post
Wednesday, August 12 2009 at 08:00 PM

Won't be attending Fordham. Too expensive. I only got $12k/year. If I had your scholarship level, I would have. My freshman year doomed me.
