Well, hello, my LSN twin! We're even applying to the same number of schools. Haha. Congrats on your acceptances so far and good luck on the rest of your schools!

BC, hands down!

just thought i'd say hi and thanks. your posts on top law school forum have been extremely helpful. We applied to alot of the same schools and just thought i'd say good luck with everything!

Congrats on UIUC!! :)

CONGRATS ON UIUC!!!! That's so exciting!!!! How does it feel to get into one of your top choices? Are you going to attend UIUC over Pitt if you end up getting into Pitt?

Congrats again on Illinois, katz! It's great to see you've been accepted to a great school where you may have not thought you'd get in. I'm hoping for a "Holy Crap!" moment such as that myself. Maybe I'll see you at an ASD (if I get in, that is...). Congratulations, again!

I haven't the slightest. I must be too on the edge at schools or something. It is a bit frustrating. I hate checking the mail, haha.

congratz on UIUC! so amazing. I'm extremely jealous.

Nice job on UIUC! We've got similar numbers and I'm hoping to sneek into Bloomington too!

Wow, congrats on the UIUC scholly!!! That's amazing!! You're little blurb that you posted today basically answered my question that I asked you in the message I sent a few minutes ago. That's incredible!

WOW, that is AMAZING!!!! Congrats on getting off of the waitlist!!!! So incredible! But now you do indeed have quite the tough decision to make!

Ummmm, yeah, +1 about Wisconsin!!!! That's awesome. You have two very good schools to choose between--good luck. =D

Wow! Your cycle has turned out wonderful. That's so exciting you're going to your first choice! Even though you have to wait a year, congrats!

I graduated undergrad from UW-Madison and I would be happy to give you any pointers/advice about the campus and good places to party! (I was an engineer but we all drank heavily). I also had a question about DePaul. It's my gf's first choice and she has similar scores and gpa as you. I was wondering if you could fill me in on your thoughts of the application process and what its like applying there as a non URM (in fact a white jew ORM). Thanks and congrats, Madison is sweet (outside of the winter of course)! -Jake

So, since I can't respond to you on your profile, I'll answer it here. I really, really wanted to attend UW, but they didn't have any scholarship money (and for out of state it's $160k or so total). So, they suggested I defer to get in-state residency and save a ton of money. I was down with that, and can't wait for next year!

Congrats on the exciting cycle! I applied to Wisc. too, so maybe I will see you around next fall. How did you handle this waiting time? I'm going crazy waiting for all of these decisions to come back.

It sounds like you had quite the application cycle! Who initiated the discussion re: deferring for in-state tuition, you or UW? Also, did that mean you had to move out there this year, find a job, etc., in order to qualify for in-state tuition? I'm just curious, because I applied to a few other state schools of which I'm not a resident.

Thanks for the info. I'm trying to figure out how I can make some things work in my favor. For example, I'd rather go to Rutgers Newark over Buffalo (purely because I hate the cold, as superficial as that sounds), and have been recruited to teach at a school in Newark...so I'm thinking of perhaps starting the same dialogue with Rutgers. Thanks again!

White Jew, love it! I am in the same boat :)

Thanks so much! Just waiting...

Hey, Your profile is so helpful. I was wondering if you did anything special to try and get off the Wisconsin WL? I'm on the American and UC Berkeley WL's right now, and although both basically say you can't do much to increase your chances of getting off the WL, I've heard that every little bit can help. Any advice you have for dealing with the WL would be great. Also, did you make a seat deposit elsewhere while you were waiting to hear back from Wisconsin? When did they finally let you know you'd been accepted? I know it varies for each school, but it would be nice to have a general idea.

your profile is great! im waiting on a decision from wisconsin right now and if i get in i dont think i'll be able to turn it down. :) How do you like Madison?

Hey Katz, congrats on UW. I've seen your posts from here as well as TLS and am happy that you're finally headed to Madison this fall. I'm applying this fall, UW is definitely my top choice. Go Badgers.

Yeah, its just too bad. Wisconsin was the only rejection that really hurt. Oh well, maybe I'll see you at Mifflin?? : )
