Additional info & updates

Sum of my time 7/6/09 -10/16/09: Stress, self-doubt, hubris, panic, calm...175. Brown people can do it! =)

10/20/09 - The South is coming hard for me. UT/Duke/UVA email fee waivers. Columbia hidden fee waiver - ashamed to proclaim your love for me?! Can I get some urban non-South attention please?

11/16/09 - Just got my Cornell waiver via snailmail. That means a clean sweep of the merit-giving T16. Apps are out... y me ando esperando.

11/23/09 - Harvy never sent me a complete email but my status checker changed to under review on 11/20. Nervous! Oh, and dinged at UT. No bueno.

12/1/09 - So "under review" is not what I thought, now complete at Harvy. Accepted at UCLA!

12/16/09 - In at Berkeley! Decision in the mail from Gtown. Couldn't be happier.

1/15/10 - JR1 today. It is a great feeling!

1/25/10 - JR2 today and Stanford last week. Very fortunate man here. !!!

2/2/10 - Dinged at Yale. Post-perfunctory-privileged-ridiculous sting of such a rejection, I now have a tough choice to make between SLS v HLS. Cycle pretty much over pending Hamilton at Columbia (lol).

2/7/10 - I wrote too soon... HAMILTON! I used the postmark as the decision date.

2/8/10 - Offered to apply for the Toll at Penn. Can't compete with the Hammy so I withdrew today.

2/23/10 - Finalist for AnBryce @ NYU. I've used too many exclamations points already but...!!!

3/30/10 - I am taking the AnBryce. Too great of a package to ignore.

Good luck to current and future applicants!

I am at a similar place in my preptests! I was scoring 165 - 169 on my preptests in June then hit a 160... I'm retaking in two weeks! we have the same GPA... and we're looking at similar cycles since we are both latino!! good luck!

Sunday, September 06 2009 at 08:00 PM

Actually... i was shocked by my score. I knew I did poorly on RC but i had no idea it was THAT bad. My normal -3/-4 on RC turned into a -10! I've just been doing RC passages this past month. Hopefully it'll click and I'll hit 166+ in two weeks!

Sunday, August 16 2009 at 08:00 PM

good luck!! i predict great things for you. that 175 is amazing! when are you hoping to get apps in?

Hello long-lost colleague

Hey there, fellow top LAC graduate: I believe I know who you are... :-) Quick: who is Marmalade? Seriously, awesome job on the LSAT. You are destined to kick major ass at wherever you want to go. And it couldn't have happened to a smarter or nicer guy.

Pretty stupid -

The UT rejection, that is. Lucky for you, though, that you're just being YPed. Have fun at HYS.

Sunday, August 16 2009 at 08:00 PM

hey, congrats on UCLA! judging by our mutual friends, im sure you're a great guy and deserve great stuff this cycle...:)

Saturday, June 27 2009 at 08:00 PM

Yay for (hopefully) YP! The flat-out rejection threw me off.

Thanks and congrats!
Tuesday, July 08 2008 at 08:00 PM

Thanks for the vote of confidence on Stanny (I am now calling it by its cuter nickname, too) and congrats on UCLA with $! That Texas rejection is some utter YP BS and should be disregarded. I predict very happy news for you in the upcoming weeks...

congrats

on berkeley!

Sunday, August 16 2009 at 08:00 PM

thanks, and huge congrats on berkeley!! im sure it's the start of a fierce cycle for you. hopefully we will be classmates somewhere!

wow about UT
Sunday, September 06 2009 at 08:00 PM

I'm shocked about UT! Your numbers are better than mine and I was placed on the "hold" list after I applied EA. Congrats on Berks and UCLA! Those are definitely two of my top choices!

Saturday, December 19 2009 at 07:00 PM

Wow, congrats on your amazing LSAT score. I'm shocked that you didn't get into UT; their loss! I'm sure you'll get in everywhere else. Congrats on what I'm sure will be a terrific cycle!

Sunday, August 16 2009 at 08:00 PM

withdrew from UCLA? i can't bring myself to do it yet, and i can't figure out why! was it hard for you, or do you have a far and away number one at this point?

Sunday, July 06 2008 at 08:00 PM

congrats on Stanford!! :)

Congratulations!
Tuesday, July 08 2008 at 08:00 PM

Congrats on Stany and Harvy! That is so ridiculously amazing! Do you know which you'd attend? Waiting on Yale?

Sunday, July 06 2008 at 08:00 PM

um, yes! I'm going to Stanford's (only) and Harvard's first ASW :)

Sunday, July 06 2008 at 08:00 PM

HAMMY BABY!!!!!!!!!!! niiiccccccccceeeeeeeeee :)

Sunday, July 06 2008 at 08:00 PM

NEVAR! but realistically if you got rejected i'm sure i will as well. you got the hamilton for crying out loud!

Sunday, July 06 2008 at 08:00 PM

ohh if only. i did just go complete a week before the 1st wave of rejects and my gpa is fudged on the high side so we'll see. my fingers are crossed but i'm very happy with where i am right now. so what's it gonna be? hamilton, stanford, harvard??

Monday, January 25 2010 at 07:00 PM

Hi, I bet you're getting a lot of questions about the Hamiton vs. HLS/SLS decision. Are you leaning one way or the other? It's such a hard call...I'd love to talk with you about it if you have the time to shoot me an email.

No worries!
Tuesday, July 08 2008 at 08:00 PM

Dude, forgettaboutit! You're a busy man. And thank you for the congrats! I just booked my flight for Berk's ASW. I will definitely see you there! So excited!

Sunday, July 06 2008 at 08:00 PM

haha i think that's the plan. I have to visit first, but wow I'm excited

Represent!
Tuesday, January 12 2010 at 07:00 PM

Congrats on the LSAT score and amazing cycle! Go REPRESENT! =)
