Goodluck to you too
Thursday, July 30 2009 at 08:00 PM

Just wanted to wish you good luck too. I'll be sure to keep an eye on your cycle. Hopefully we'll make it into a lot of the same schools!

Good Luck!
Saturday, January 23 2010 at 07:00 PM

Hey, I'm most likely going to be attending Western State University, the scholarships just too good to pass up. How about you?

Monday, November 09 2009 at 07:00 PM

La Verne's tuition is a couple grand more than Western States, so even though it seems like more money its actually not. I already visited Western State and I really like it. Its a pretty small campus but its nice and everyone's really friendly and welcoming. Good luck with your schools !

Hi!
Tuesday, February 23 2010 at 07:00 PM

Hey =) congrats on your acceptance! We have similiar numbers and schools!Which school do you lean on so far? also, good luck with rest of your cycle!

Hey, thanks!
Tuesday, February 23 2010 at 07:00 PM

HEY! Thanks so much for your info! It was really nice to hear someone actually been there and share it with me! Hehe I wish I had a chance to visit before school starts, but then I only have one option, which doesn't justify my trip...hehe. (Waitlist is soo not an option...) Your description on Whittier is great, almost makes me wanna apply! I was gonna apply but got La Verne's acceptance letter first, now I don't know if I should, cuz I already got in a safe school. Also, living in Orange seems more expensive than in Ontario, and with $25000, it's gonna make a difference... Is it true La Verne is just a building? When people talk about Ontario, they were like "Inland Empire, enough said!" lol That doesn't sound too good... Hey! Best of luck on Irvine and Chapman! =) I'm still "in review" according to Chapman's status check and Pepperdine's letter should be here in a week. uhhh waiting is killing me...

Tuesday, February 23 2010 at 07:00 PM

glad you have your decision in mind! have you ever heard from Chapman??? IT IS taking forever...I think im going to LA VERNE, (too bad we couldn't be schoolmates!) Wish you all the best in law school =)

Chapman was sent on 1/23/10, not sure about complete date. When I emailed admissions a few days ago about my status, they said I'd hear back by 5/14 at the latest. So expect news by/before then.

i have some hard decisions to make
Friday, January 01 2010 at 07:00 PM

Congrats on your acceptances! At this point, I have no idea what I'm going to do. I have to select from 3 choices that I created for myself: A) wait to see what happens with the schools I'm waitlisted to, and if I get off one of them, I'll go to that school B) go to Cal Western C) retake the lsat and reapply for the next cycle Honestly, I'm just going to wait it out as long as I can and see what happens. Do you know what youre going to do yet?
