Hey, I have the same LSAT as you, good luck and best wishes on your cycle!
Thank you for your nice comment! I know, hopefully they wont just dwell on the LSAT. I have faith for us both!
Hey, I'd be stoked to be on some of your wait lists and I'm impressed with that 3.99 GPA, Good luck!!
Thank you! We are going to finish out this cycle strong!
I just got one acceptance today. I couldnt believe how FAST charlotte admitted me. This proves that getting into one law school is def possible! We just have to stay persistent and focused.
I didn't have a great LSAT score either (just a 152) but I was THRILLED getting into Charlotte because the people I know who go there LOVE it. I am from Cali as well but I am still going to Charlotte--regardless of my answer from Chapman.
i feel exactly the same way. i just want to wait a little bit so see where else i can get into... i LOVE cali so much! but im really happy that i got into one school so i dont have to wait to reapply for next year. im so happy that we are in!
dreamz01...I have a feeling from looking at your GPA and your intelligent responses you will be a great attorney. Any law school will be lucky to have you! Maybe I will see you in Charlotte!
my frend had lower gpa and a 147 and he got accepted. ( same nationality) so i dont know what their problem is .... i dont even care didnt send them anything. good luck
Hey again, congradulations on ur acceptances! Woo ur giving me hope again!
I understand your frustration! I studied my butt off for the LSAT and did not receive a delightful score either. If you ever need to vent feel free to send me an email!
Before you jump into law school this year, consider whether the schools that admit you are worth attending. Honestly, you have an unbelievably excellent GPA/class rank and it would be a shame to waste that on a school like Charlotte. Prep for a couple months, retake the LSAT and score at least a 160. I got two full rides at decent schools and my credentials aren't nearly as good as yours. I'm not here to bash any of the schools have accepted you. However, you should keep in mind that a decent LSAT will get you into much better schools and/or allow you to get full tuition scholarships at the schools you are currently looking at. Why would you risk taking a bunch of debt with shitty prospects when you could do much better? I would kill for your GPA, don't waste it!
BTW: Mind PMing me which CSU you went to? I'm curious.
I sincerely hope that you didn't take my post as a put-down of any kind. Regardless of your LSAT score, you seem like a very intelligent/driven person and I am sure that you will be a great attorney. I was only saying that a few extra points can literally be the difference between paying sticker and getting a full ride to a lot of T3/T4 schools. With that said, I wouldn't be surprised if you got into some top 100 schools that weigh the GPA more heavily. Things will be tougher going to a lower-ranked school, but I'm sure that you will be just fine. BTW, I was curious about which CSU you attended ( I still am) because I was also a JC/CSU transfer, so we might have gone to the same school. Best of luck at whichever school you choose!
Hey, I just wanted to say congrats (especially on Cal Western!). I feel your frustration with a lower than expected lsat (however your gpa is far higher than mine still). In any case, I think your attitude about showing those other schools what they missed out on by just looking at the lsat is a good one to have! Have you decided on a school?
Cool, well congrats again and good luck on the others! Let me know if you do end up deciding on CW.. I don't know anyone in the area!
Thank you for your post. I am hoping schools will look past my LSAT as well. It is great that you have a few acceptances to work with and are proof that it can happen! Good luck with the rest of your cycle. Do you know where you might go based on offers now?
Congrats on getting a few more acceptances! Are any of these schools willing to give you money? I've heard positive things about Valapraiso, so congrats on getting in there!
Thanks for the motivation. I was in your shoes this cycle with a good GPA (not valedictorian good, though) and a bad LSAT score and I also did not want to take the test a third time. However, I kept applying and sure enough I got into Texas Tech by miracle and off I go. I wish you good luck in choosing the right school.
No i didnt contact them. I got that same deffered/waitlist letter that you probably recieved...honestly i had put in a seat deposit at TSU just days prior and kinda totally forgot about TJ...So when i saw a large envelope in the mail i KNEW i was in. More shockingly the nice scholarship through me off...I noticed you got into cal western...i really would like to go there...but tj gave me a scholly so i think im just gonna stick with them..what do you think?
Thanks! I'm hoping to get a few more acceptances so that I have the opportunity to make a choice!
*threw not through lol Keep in touch...maybe youll get lucky and get picked up by TJ with a scholly like me....and good luck on all the other schools...its gonna be a crazy year for us!
Did you decide where youre going?
Talk about decisions! I so hear you!! Im waiting on UoP now since Im on wait list at Davis. If McGeorge ends up accepting me that will be my back up to UC Davis if I dont get off the wait list. If McGeorge doesnt accept me, I just sent out my deposit at Cal Western as back up... it's confusing, but this wait list situation has me going nuts. Im the type that likes to plan everything out, and not knowing whether Im in or not puts me in a daze. Either way though, I feel really lucky to have the opportunity to go to law school.... Im just not sure yet where I will officially end up. Coming soon... my official decision :) lets hope it happens in the next couple months!
Hey thanks for the comment! Congrats on all your acceptance and your waitlist at Davis, my cycle has been blah lol, but its not over yet, im hoping for golden gate or tjsl to come through
Hey! Yes I did receive the waitlist update email from USF last night. I'm hoping for them to give us some good news soon! GL!
which schools are your top choices?
Good luck Dreamz! If everyone had the same positive attitude that you do, then nobody would care about what U.S. News thinks, and consequently they wouldn't have such power over law school admissions.
I am planning to go to Lewis and Clark, but still waiting for the rest of my decisions. I, like you, only took the LSAT one time. Unfortunately, I still got rejected, waitlisted and deferred at the three schools I applied to near my home! But that's okay, I absolutely love Portland and I am looking forward to relocating :)
I just saw you said you took the LSAT twice. What I meant above is that I also refuse to take time off to take it again.
Looks like it's down to two! Which way are you leaning?
I'm rooting for you and I'll be keeping tabs on you, keep in touch ; D
kick ass...u can do it
I just saw your profile on here randomly and it was quite entertaining. Anyways, good luck with the LSAT and hopefully you can get into school and kick ass in the legal field.
As long as you have been studying and you feel pretty confident in your skills, you will do fine! Just do a lot of prep tests in timed conditions and make sure you know why you are getting answers incorrect. In the end, I want you to make sure you have a positive perspective on this whole process. Go in to taking the LSAT with a very confident attitude. You have been studying your buns off, so you need to make sure you dont let your mindset ruin your potential of killing the exam! You can soooooo do this! The LSAT IS a big deal to admissions. So it's imperative you perform at the top of your game to you have a more competitive application. Again, clear your mind, remember that you have been studying for this moment of really proving what you have been learning, and know deep down in your mind and heart that you definitely can score high on this test. Let me know how it goes! :)
I am confident you can do better on the LSAT. I hope you stayed focused and studied hard on your retake. Are you keeping the same user name for cycle two?
As a fellow non-traditional applicant and soon to be third time lsater, I am very inspired by your upbeat attitude. I really hope you make it and get into the school(s) you want to. I am thinking of applying at Davis school it seems like such a great atmosphere. All of the best on your journey and keep your chin up! ~hailmarypass
haha i love that this is a pseudo-blog! Best of luck, I'm rooting for ya!
I was avoiding tonight's reading and decided to browse this year's applicants. I was like "hey, I know that name." Anyway, good luck and I hope to see you at Davis next year.
Thank you so much for your advice and support. I hope youre enjoying Davis!
I will take your post as a big compliment. I try my hardest to do my best at anything I touch. Thank you for noticing! I wish you luck during your cycle!
I love reading your blog, in fact you inspired me to start my own. I think you commented on my blog the other day and it's only today that I realized that it's the same dreamz! (if it wasn't you, I'm super sorry, and this will be a really embarrassing moment for me) hehe. BEST of luck to you and your cycle, I hope you get into ALL of your schools because your positive attitude is awesome and you deserve it!!! =) I'm really rooting for you!!
You are the awesome one!! Thank you so much for being so motivating. I'm so happy that I influenced you in a positive way. I want to read your blog! Best of luck to you! Keep us updated!!
