dominrrican (2022-2023)

WELL finally someone beat my number of schools.. This is awesome man. I can't wait see how well you do this cycle, and i bet a lot of other people will be chearing for you also. Dude I got 7 acceptance with 30 schools. I bet you get a lot more!! haha let me make some predictions and we'll see if i'm wright in the end.

i don't know what happened. haha seems like lsn and my computer went nutz..

What's up? Dominican/Rican here also. Good luck in the admissions process - We gotta represent!!!

good luck, i will be watching for your acceptances!

Thanks man! I'm glad to have at least one acceptance, not to mention down in sunny FL. If all else fails, it'll be great to be down there.

Thanks for the good luck wishes! Good luck to you also! :)

that's a lot of schools. Good luck..

good job on your efforts in filling out applications..that looks like a lot of work

for rutger Newark, what's their reguired length for the personal essay?

When did you hear back from CLEO for the 2008 summer institute? I applied by 11/30/07 for early admission too.

if questions did not apply to you, did you just leave it blank or put "N/A"...?? thanks

I sorta feel you in at Vermont of the WL (0 Diversity up there)... good luck

you have applied to so many schools & i think it's great. maybe you'll be the latinlord of our app season! :) (luv that guy!)

Does anyone know much about Nova Southeastern AMMPLE program? Any thought?? Thanks Everyone.....

Hey wow!! Congrats on all the acceptances!!! Your kicking some butt... First off Congrats on the AMMPLE acceptance but my personal input on Nova is DONT GO unless you want to go and work in that area. I was accepted into that program too. Number 1. It is conditional.. That means you may not get into the the school unless you are top in the summer program. numeber 2. It costs money and you don't recieve credit for it. I see that as just another way for them to get more money out of people, especially when they are NOT bound or obligated to let you into their school. Only do a conditional program like that when you don't have any other options or want to go to that school more than any of the other schools. IU-indy has a summer program also, but is NOT conditional and you get law school credits, PLUS it is "usually free" for out of staters, it was for me anyway. You already have acceptances at other schools. Personally I'd go to Florida Costal instead of Novasouth eastern anyway, unless like I said you like that area more.... PS: I know it is 3;30 AM.. i THINK finals gave me a bit of insomnia!! I can't sleep and am too tired to study. anyway hopefully more will come!!

i see that you applied to F.Pierce Law center. Are you interested in their IP program? or? also, do you know whether you have to be science background to study IP law?

honestly, i thought my chances were slim on being accepted. Rutgers is one of my reaches, so i'm thinking maybe they looked more at my experiences than my scores as i requested on the application. it'll definetly be a little bit harder for you since you scored in the 140's & i say that b/c a friend of mine applied in 2006 w/a 3.7 and i think a 144, great recommendations and she was still rejected. just keep you fingers crossed & don't give up on Rutgers before you here anything. i really hope you get in!

Thanks for encouragement. That is a lot of schools but so far, so good. How did you end up applying to so many schools? I know you probably got some fee waivers but enlighten me.

Congrats on Nova. I also got in through the other program.

I got the acceptance letter in the mail in a small envelope. I was worried it was a rejection but it was an ACCEPTANCE!!! I am SO excited! Now I just need to get a TON of financial aid, any recommendations?

I would say you have me beat! But hey, why not?! You only do this once...hopfully!

Thank you for the kind words. It looks like you applied to a heck of a lot more schools then I did, and I thought I applied to a lot! Good luck with everything, and keep me updated on where you get in, and I will do the same!

Congrats on the acceptences I think you have a shot at rutgers got to have faith. However it goes you will still be going to law school that is what is most important.

thanks for the support! will be applying to a couple more schools but am waiting for the dec lsat results to be released! good luck to you as well and look forward to the end of the waiting game.

Have you thought about howard Law school. out side of NY, DC is the place to be.

Thanks for the nod...I thought I had applied to a bunch of schools but you have stomped me! What's your first choice? Congrats on the acceptances so far!!

Yeah! It's nice knowing that I'm going to law school next year! Good luck with all your acceptances.

Thanks! Good luck to you too, and congrats on your acceptances!!

good luck with the U of Florida.

hey man i've been watching your profile bc you basically applied to every school i did. good luck with everything and congrats on your acceptances so far. NJ represemt.

Good Luck on your applications!!!

You have applied to a great deal of schools. You know what? one thing that you can say for certain, you will definitely go to law school. I trully believe that they will be more great news for you.

hey...I just don't know about a school that tells you that you basically got a scholarship before you even applied...but in the end who knows? it is in florida... persoanlly I would pick Nova Southeastern over Florida Coastal because they are relatively of the same level...but Ft. Lauderdale beats out Jacksonville any day of the week.

thank you kindly for the encouragement. I still have to send in my CLEO app. congrats on your acceptance!!!

Congrats on entry to their AAMPLE program. What you have to do is take two courses, average a C+, and then you are in. You can use this as leverage for your other applications by stating you intend on attending AAMPLE. This way, those schools tack on a few more points to your file. You may get into a better school this way.

Thanks for the well wishes. I've been watching your progress too. Good luck!

did you write diversity statement for the u of Florida??

Indy is sending out acceptances. Hopefully yours will be comming soon!!

Wanted to know if you heard anything in 2008 yet. I got a rejection letter from Maryland. Standard envelope and paper. Other than that, its been quiet on my front... a little too quiet if you ask me. lol.

WOW!! You definately have my vote for most law schools applied to... Puerto Rican and Polish here.... Bilingual too.. born and raised in Bayamon till age 10.. Not sure if you're about as weary of the application process as I am.. Your extras curriculars most likely drawf 90% of this server, but most law school have been reduced to little more than simple arithematic calculators. It's nearly comical b/c most law schools (not in the top 10) decry and demeanonize US News and World Reports for their frivilous reliance on absurd and unreliable numbers as the basis for ranking schools, but it's exactly the same thing we experience on the other side of the paradim as applicants. I often think about this right before I fall into a deep coma wherein I spend 12 hours looking at my blank walls, cursing in Aramaic, and drooling green sludge... Well Anywhoo good luck.. I'll be pulling for you..

Congrats on Valpo. Hope you had a nice vacation. Good luck!

Thank you! And congratulations on your 4 acceptances so far. It's so true that this process is unpredictable. I got rejected by Florida Coastal and we have similar numbers. Haha, well I suppose it means that that particular school wasn't for us right? Wow you only got a few fee waivers. I can imagine how much your application fees were. Well this won't be the last time we talk, keep faith=)

Don't let the rejections deter you. You still haven't heard from many of the schools you applied to & i'm sure there will be acceptances from some of those schools. I hope one of them is from Rutgers!

Hey dominrrican, My hat is off to you because of your positive outlook. My first two responses came the same day and one was a rejection and the other a waitlist at what I thought was somewhat of a safety school. I wish the best for you this cycle and am rooting for you!

Thanks for your comments. I applied to CLEO this year too. Still waiting on their decision. If I don't get in this cycle, I will try next year again. I know I have zero chances this year with the schools I picked. Just like you said, taking shotgun approach this cycle. I think I will try to retake the LSAT.

I am delighted you stopped by...I just came from work ( it is a little bit over midnight right now), even though I am tired, I have to check the site. It seems that you and I have been received A LOT OF REJECTIONS...lol you know what? we still going to law school no matter what. Additionally, more great news will come...let be patient for now... Don't get stressful about the cycle anymore since you have some acceptances...

Hold your head and maintain, best of luck on your admissions chances...

many acceptances to come!

hey! bro. are u applying as straight out of undergrad? good luck with loyola chicago...obviously, they like you

Hi again! Congrats on getting waitlisted at Loyola Chicago=) We're going to keep our heads up through this process!

Thanks! Good luck too!

I did occasionally visit ur page and watching for ur admission process. And finally, I left a comment here.. I wish you the best of luck and will keep watchi'n on you..^^

Congrats on the all acceptance letters so far..

Congrats on your acceptances. You have applied to a lot of schools, and I admire your diligence. What is the final number of applications? It is best to keep your options open. I wish you best of luck in the application process. As of now, what is your top choice?

I noticed that Loyola Chicago waitlisted you. That would be an awesome place. Did you apply to a Special program at Loyola?

Thanx for your encouragement... Yeah!!! As u said, anything is possible.. I will do my best to get the best result at the end.. Best,

I know you got into the early CLEO admission and you might know that I am interested in applying CLEO for next yr cycle.. However, I don't know much about it though.. So my question is: "what will have advantages by attending CLEO summer program if I admitted??." By attending that program, "Will I, by attending CLEO Summer Program be guaranteed to get an admission from its member schools? I thoroughly reviewed CLEO website but couldn't find any info regarding that issue.. So I just ask you.. I am sorry to bothering you...

I applied to 53 schools, and I made sure that I took every opportunity to stand out from the rest. I wanted them to look beyond the LSAT. We will see how I fare. I am very active in the Hispanic/Latino community, and I teach multiple sections of American Law and I teach one course on International Relations. Anyway, I was also rejected from Albany. They claim that they look beyond the numbers. I think that they are full of crap. What do you think? I am surprised that you were rejected from Houston and New England. Thanks for the message dominrrican.

Thanks again bro... I did make up my mind that I will apply CLEO for next yr cycle and hopely I can get in.. Best,

I pray for you to get off from the waitlist at Loyola Chicago and get in there!!!!!! PS) I did post my e-mail adress with this message.. If you have anything u want to talk with me, whther anything personal or law school stuffs, just e-mail me...^^

did you ever get the information regarding icleo progam from the Indianapolis? am curious if this was bulk email sent out to many people..

congrats on cleo . i hope you attend it. I did and i have no regrets!! its a great program! goodluck in your cycle.

How do you know you were selected for the Denver Institute?

Yes I did apply and was accepted into CLEO. My balance is actually due next week. I'm excited about the program but I would def. prefer to be in San Diego as opposed to Denver.

hi dominrican. I would be more than happy to address those questions however I would rather so that in private. Do you mind sharing your email with me?

I was also accepted by VU. It is thought highly of in Indiana. I don't know where you plan to pratice. But, it's a solid school

email sent back!

Hey! congrats on your acceptance! I think I'm going to the San Diego one, hopefully. Kudos on your tenacity; I applied to 8 schools and it took me soo much time and patience!

They are a bunch of jerks, i got 2 rejection letters from them. One for day and one for evening....grrr haha. Don't worry things will get better as time goes on, there is a lot of time let and you still got a hell of a lot of schools.

I am watching your profile and rooting for you. Congrats on the early accepts and thx for keeping your record for all of us to see. I am praying for you and wish you more success this cycle!!

University of Illinois Champaign Urbana? That is awesome!

Congrats on Wayne State Law, and I'm praying for you for Loyola Chicago.

did you do the optional interview for pace?

Best of luck with the schools! What would be your number one choice? I hope I get into Loyola or Northeastern, would love it!

Is being deferred better than being waitlisted? What is the difference? Anyways, congrats on Wayne State!!! I'll keep checking in to see what comes of the U of Illinois application for you. *Fingers crosses*

Thanks so much for the support and I see that we're in the same boat with Urbana. Good luck!

i can not truly understand how this admission process works...ILLinois defered you, but then you got rejected by lower ranking schools...good luck

if I may offer my .02, "hold", to my understanding, means that they will hold your application until a later point (usually the end) and re-read it to see if you "fit in". I hope everything goes well for you :)

I really am hoping for the best and I will keep you in my prayers! I know, this process IS crazy...its about as reliable as gambling lol :)

Thank you so much! I really enjoy everything that I have had the opportunity to do, definitely been experiences worth having! I'll be keeping an eye on your progress!

Hey, Thanks for your message bro. I'm even surprised by the number of acceptances I've got but I'm soaking them up. We gotta represent!!! Congrats on your acceptances so far. With your wide range of schools, I'm sure you'll get some really cool offers coming. Keep me posted - Siga pa' lante!!!

Your message made my day! I really am so thankful that i've been able to get into law school after all these years of working and raising my kid. I am pulling for you, hoping that you will receive more acceptances (i'm sure you will) because you've been so cool and positive to everyone who's going thru this process. Who knows, we may end up going to school together..& that would be great! I'm watching...

If I knew who you were then I would respond on your page. LOL. Please Log on. But as of now I really don't have a top choice. It depends on financial Aid packages, bar passage rates, moot court reputation especially, and job prospects

It's not easy to get rejected from a school you were very hopeful for, I just got my rejection from Howard. But remember what matters is that we got in somewhere! Never to late for anything, if your heart is set on a school, try to reapply through transferring. Also I see you're in CLEO, this is a great accomplishment! So you keep that head up=)

1) Did u receive any email from the Hawaii law school recently? 2) how were u notified by Rutgers Newark? Thanks

Hey man, keep your head up! Don't let these rejects get to you. You still got a long way to go, I love your dedication. Ur going to be alright in the end. Can I say it again? NO!!! THE PATRIOTS ARENT PERFECT! HAHAHA..

Thank you, and congrats to you also on all of your acceptances! :)

for the congratulation. No doubt that you'll get more acceptances. I am pretty sure you'll get off some of the waitlist also! good luck bro, keep in touch.

I saw that you were waitlisted by Loyola NO. Did you tell them that you were interested in their summer conditional program? I would send them an e-mail, and I would express interest in their part time and their full time program. It cannot hurt to let them know that you are interested in attending NO. Hope that helps my friend.

NO also makes it very difficult to succeed in the program. That is what I heard anyway.

I know it is the AMMPLE program, but you still have a chance. So you take a class online?? That is better than having to go there. Here is what you do... Sign a seat deposit for the second school incase you don't get into to NYLS, but if yo udo get into, then you will be able to go there. If not, then you will still have the other school to go to. Conditional programs are never in the bag programs, some of them just suck, it is always good to have another option open for you on the side. Good luck!! and Congrats. You will still have to make other decisions along the way i'm sure. But at least it is good to have acceptance decisions in the bag.

Congrats! It's a really good school in a PERFECT location! There are so many firms and govt offices over there along w/the courts. I have 2 friends that graduated from the school recently and both were able to find jobs. One of them is already making 6 figures and she just got out a couple of years ago! You should definitely consider this school, although it's $$$. But you never know, you could come out making $$$.

Hi, congrats on your acceptances thus far! I was just wondering how Cardozo notified you? Thanks

So, are you thinking of studying in NY? I am uncertain about conditional programs. They make me a little nervous.

I saw your profile, and I noticed that you were waitlisted at USF. This gives me some hope. Was it a small envelope? Do they accept a high percentage from the waitlist? Look forward to hear from you.

hey, it seems like your applications are going good. I'm bumbed

What is your opinion about Wayne State? Do you know anything about its reputation my friend?

Hey, I noticed that you have applied to TONS of places. I wish you the best of luck with the remaining ones and notice that you post very positive messages for people so I believe you have a good attitude about the whole process. Do you have any sort of school you are shooting for though? I applied to 6 places and it was the biggest headache in the world. I guess though, if you don't get your name in the hat that you can't get picked. How many places is this in total and how long did it take? I'm just curious.

Thanks for the reply and the insight. I was thinking about applying to more schools but opted not to as my main target is Stetson and I have a really good chance with their PT program and decent potential for the FT program. It is my first choice, with FIU and Mercer as back-ups mainly. (I do not really feel like leaving the state of Florida.) So I kept my applications down. With 80 plus applications you are pretty much bound to get good news at some places. Keep on truckin' man and best of luck with whatever school you come to choose.

...on your acceptances. I hope the best for you.

Sorry it took me a while to get back to you. I chose them as my first choice for two reasons. One, they are the cheapest school in the state of Michigan to go to. And Two, they have historically been known as the 2nd best law school in MI. With MSU on the rise, however, it could change very soon. Just a lot of money to go there!

Hey D: Thanks! I really appreciate your congrats! I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders! Still undecided where I want to go...

I got into CLEO too..which one are you going to?

More than likely I'll end up at BC Law School, unless God decides to bring me even more miracles, haha. I'll keep you posted...Let me know where you decide on, too.

Here's a blurb I wrote once to describe it: Medical Anthropology is a burgeoning field within the discipline of Cultural Anthropology that cross-culturally examines disease, health, illness and healing from a subjective cultural perspective. In sum, Med Anthro focuses on the interaction of culture, people and disease/illness...it's very interesting ;)

Hey bro, Congrats on New York Law School! We could end up at the same school. Good luck throughout the cycle!

Congrats on Cleveland my friend. As of now, is this your first choice?

<a href="http://www.prelawhandbook.com/law_school_ranking__tier_to_tier" title="http://www.prelawhandbook.com/law_school_ranking__tier_to_tier" class="data">http://www.prelawhandbook.com/law_school_ranking__tier_to_tier</a> I thought that this link was interesting. Check out Cleveland and check out Wayne State on here.

Hey Congrats on Cleveland state!! That is a great school within the region!! Keep the acceptances coming!

CSU is a comparitively great school. THey just recently had a 90% bar success rate which is right up there with OSU (Tier 1). Will you be attending the admitted student day March 15th?

how much did u waste on applications this year.

I really didnt mean to use the word "waste" im just really cheap and spending money hurts. anywhich yeah i spent about the same amount but u applied to way more so u got more bang for ur buck, anywhich thanks for the good luck.

Thanks for your comment....the one you left about a month ago, but I just noticed now! Thanks for your advice too, after my first 2 rejections, I put out two more applications...in very, VERY small towns (Ohio!). I'm getting nervous, but I guess all I can do now is wait it out. Congratulations on all your acceptances, and good luck!

Good to hear from you my friend. I am not a kid. I currently teach International Relations, but I think that law school is the next logical step. Maybe you mean kid in an endearing way, but it is difficult to tell via online. What would you recommend doing? Hamline or Wayne State? I was accepted full time at Hamline and part time at Wayne State. I heard that WSU has a better reputation and a better bar passage rate. However, Hamline may have more options for jobs due to location. What are your thoughts my friend? I hope that you are well. Are you leaning toward Cleveland or WSU? Even though WSU is a tier 4, it has a great reputation.

holy sh*t all of my friends thought I was crazy with 22 schools but this really is crazy! You must have taken out a loan just for the app fees. Good luck....this profile inspires me to add more.

ha we're rejection soul brothers, lol. I got rejected from UVA on 3/18/08 as well. Dont worry because when you take the road less travled on it makes all the difference (aka forget them you'll find a better path and become a better lawyer than most in fordham.)

Hey thank you so much I was pretty shocked. Sometimes it works out. The next step is the scariest though, I have to do some serious strategic planning. I really, really appreciate that message. That was really cool of you.

Hey man I see that it is almost April and you still have tons of schools yet to hear from. WOW.... we'll they say "no news is good news" so i'm hoping you get into all the schools left. For me i'm getting pretty busy. My trial practice class is comming to a close and we are starting to prepare for it. I'm working on a rough draft of my closing argument now. Take it easy, i'll talk to you soon.

I had the same thing happen for me with MSU...what does that officially mean? That's a rejection with an offer to hopefully get into their part time program? Is that considered a long time deferment? I'm not even sure. But i guess I'll consider that as an option...you?

I was offered to the summer LEO program. Are you going to participate? I was also rejected from U of San Diego. Are you leaning toward Cleveland? Anything could happen at this point. Did you apply LEOP at Hastings? They are still an option.

I have been following your progress this cycle. It appears that you have quite a few good choices to choose from. Keep up the positive outlook and you will continue to do well. I do have two questions for you: Did you apply for the LEO summer program at Seton Hall? Are you still planning to attend CLEO?

Good to hear from you my friend. Let me know your thoughts on Cleveland. At this point, I am leaning toward SLU. I was admitted in a conditional program. There are some conditional programs that I would never do, like Widener TAP or even MSU LEO. However, SLU does not seem too bad. I am still waiting on USF and on Pacific. I applied part time to both. I wish you the best of luck in this process. No matter which school you decide, I want to make sure that we stay in touch.

Good luck with everything! How were you notified about your acceptance to CLEO?

Hey Dominrrican, Congrats on Indy Law!!! I'm so excited for you! This just proves to everyone once again that an LSAT in the 140s shouldn't discourage any hard working students that want to go to a great law school... Cheers.

Congratulations on INDY!!! YAY Good for you! Very happy for you and wish you great success!!!

Congrats on Indy my friend! I am so happy for you.

Way to go!!! I knew you'd do well this cycle. Keeping a positive attitude in the face of doubters will always be noticed by others. It helps earn your respect. I am confident that your smarts and positivity will do you well and take you very far in your classrooms, courtrooms or boardrooms. Take care and CONGRATULATIONS!!

Good point about conditional programs. Yea, it really doesn't make sense since that and $5 can buy you a beer when its all said and done

Hello there, thanks for the comment, congrats on Indy and your other acceptances, hope to see you in the summer =)

How was the campus? Did you like what you saw?

YEA MAN!!! Congratulations!! AWESOME!! Remember to hit me up when you come visit in a couple of weeks!!

Congrats on your Indy acceptance! Wow I should have applied there haha. So I'm sure your mind is made up now! Will you be able to do both CLEO and Indy's summer program?

Sorry for not replying sooner, because I have not come to the site due to my work schedule. As you well know, I will definitely go to Indy. Yes, I will be at the open house, I will email you my cell #, so that we can discuss further. Once again, congratulations!

That sounds like a good program.I mean why wouldn't they accept you into that if they accepted you already! Well I've decided on NCCU, even though there 11 other schools to hear from. The clock was ticking and I didn't want to miss out on on-campus housing. NCCU seems the best fit for me.

where are u going in the fall??

You have a lot pending here my friend. I am surprised that we have not both heard from Hastings yet. Have you called them?

I had to delete my account for privacy issues/concerns but I had to create this new one just to say CONGRATULATIONS AND FELICITACIONES. I am so proud of you and I knew Diosito had something good for you. I am going to end up in Denver for the CLEO program and I really hope to see you there. I am still trying to decide where to go. I have to make a really hard decision --April 11th is the deadline. Best of all, latino08

congrats! do you whether indy's class is full or not? also, what is contact number or email address for hastings leop program? still waiting the decision.

what is the date for indy's summer class?

I have not heard from illinois at all....They told me I was on hold long time ago....how did you hear from them?...washington and lee rejected me as well!!!best, latino08..lol..

Congrats on the acceptance at Nova. When did they let you know? Is it the aample? Good luck!!!

when is indy's summer class?

ON cleveland state!

I was waitlisted by USF today... I heard that their waitlist is a ridiculous process. Did you hear the same? Do you really want to go to Rhode Island? I would pass on Roger Williams. Look forward to hearing from you. I would like to know your analysis on the waitlist process at USF. Do we have a chance?

i see that indy offered Students Open House on April 12, 2008 for applicants who have been accepted into fall semester. i am still waiting on a decision. does this mean that i am outright reject or maybe waitlist? any ideas?

thanks for your comment

when do you expect to hear back from the hastings?

when do you begin the summer program? good luck..

My friend! Hastings is sending a batch of LEOP decisions this week. I wish you the best of luck. I will also hear from Indy this week. They would not tell me over the phone. I thought that was weird. Didn't they tell you over the phone?

Just don't go to Cooley, or Wayne. I've posted about Wayne's troubles here: <a href="http://www.lawschooldiscussion.org/prelaw/index.php/topic,104032.10.html" title="http://www.lawschooldiscussion.org/prelaw/index.php/topic,104032.10.html" class="data">http://www.lawschooldiscussion.org/prelaw/index.php/topic,104032.10.html</a> IU is a great pick up. You should be v happy with that school.

Thank you for the encouraging words! Congratulations yourself as well, I will see you in the fall, good luck with ICLEO ;)

Congratulations to you too,I'm really looking forward to ICLEO!

Have you heard anything else from ICLEO I know they said we would be getting more information later, but I haven\'t received anything else.

I\'m planning on coming on the 22nd too,luckily I live pretty close to Bloomington so I\'ll just be making an hour and a half drive.

Hey! Thank you very much on the congrats. I think we are both living proof that anything is possible. And yes, we are both future Indy residents! Are you excited? When are you moving?

I am kicking myself that I did not apply to the program. Though I was hoping for ND, I just didn\'t feel like I\'d end up in Indy. What about you, are you going to attend the ICLEO program?

Thanks again, and good luck w/ ICLEO! I left my email so we can keep in touch. I heard Indy summers are beautiful, so I\'m sure you\'ll enjoy your experience.

I'm applying this cycle. Please give me some advice.
