cmathias (2022-2023)

Jazz minor. I play saxophone in a few groups on campus.
I've been working as a trial assistant in a private law office for the last few months.
Tons of community services -many hours tutoring English, volunteering with the Humane Society, and helping out the Stand for Children foundation.

$15,000/yr scholarship from Pace!

Nothing about scholarships from Syracuse- which I'm pretty upset about. I was quite interested in that school, but I really don't think I can go somewhere that doesn't offer me *any* money- unless it was Georgetown or American.

In the same day, rejected from Temple. This doesn't make me too optimistic about Rutgers and American (and certainly not Georgetown).

Disappointed about American, but not entirely surprised. I have some hope for Rutgers stil. The fact that my LSAT and my GPA are higher than the average pending scores means something, right?
At this point, I'm hoping I can work my ass of first year and transfer to where I really want to be: Georgetown. I hope I'm capable and keep the motivation up.

WAITLISTED AT PSU?!?! What the hell. It must be because I applied so late- the end of December... but they didn't send me a fee-waver until then. Dammit.
I'm hoping by some crazy stroke of luck, Rutger's applications are way down this year and they let me in. To the higher powers of law school applications, I beg you, oh pretty pretty please, help me out.

5/01 Offer from PSU to go part-time. It's a new program, just aproved by the ABA. It involves taking one less class the first two semesters, and then taking those classes over the summer, starting second year full-time, and still graduating in three years. I'll take it! I got an email about it, snail-mail will follow.
