You know, I'm not sure. They must have loved something about my application. The person that I had revise my personal statement thought it was great. I think that might have helped... a lot.

Noticed that your profile is VERY similar to mine. Almost to a tee. Anyway, congrats on your acceptances and good luck!

Where did you go to school anyway,....Marywood I went to King's

Thanks for the info on Duquesne. I have no idea what in the world is taking them so long. I guess my LSAT is holding me up, but my admissions index is definitely in their range, so who knows. Anyway, good luck with the rest of your apps this cycle!

Hey, keep your head up. Temple isn't admitting anyone who is white that has an LSAT below 160. That's not your fault...its theres. I\\\'m very confident that you will get into Pittsburgh and I KNOW you will get into Buffalo. Good luck, and don\\\'t let Temple get you down.

I think its funny when people make comments who do not have the balls to actually have a profile on this website. There are definitely a lot of self-righteous pricks out there. I stand by my comments and am not hiding under anonymous names

Scapegoat (if you even read this), What I am saying is not entirely guided by emotion. Of course they will accept SOME; the question is how many in proportion to everyone else. I have talked to a student who goes to Temple this year, and he said that he does not know anyone below a 159 there (I'm assuming he meant personally). Add the fact that when I visited Temple, I received the same vibe (that LSATS reigned supreme), and I think I have good reason to be somewhat jaded. Also, I have a question with the LSAT "percentiles." Have you ever seen the numbers of each person they accept on the LSAC website.? I did the calculation, and they only accepted 65 people TOTAL with a 154 or below. So you are probably right with the 160 comment, and I concede that. But again...If you can explain to me why law schools over-emphasize a test which can account for only 16% of the variance in first-year law students' grades, please do tell. For some reason, I doubt one can. Then again, since it was an anonymous poster, you probably won't respond to this. As for the LSAT comment, that was a low-blow, but again, you're anonymous (no offense). Also, do not think I am against affirmative action (in fact, I have written articles for it). What disillusions me is that Temple has a s.p.A.C.E. admission program (where they state that they overlook the LSAT), and they list the qualities on the website. I possessed most of those qualities, save a few. Guess what they are. So please, there are always two sides to the story. I do admit that I could be dead-wrong (in fact, I thought this before you posted); however, I will always wonder why I did not get accepted. Oh well, life goes on! Take it easy, and thanks for the input. Take it easy.

Hey, Thanks for the apology; it is received wholeheartedly. In fact, even IF (and I do not think this is true necessarily) that someone of another race or ethnicity took my spot, I do not dislike that person (or the school for that matter).. I cannot blame someone for taking advantage of something that the admissions committee prizes. But the school should make it known if that is how they want their composition to be at their school (there are legal issues, butfor the sake of argument I am assuming they are not important). . .It is not any skin off my back if they want a school like that. It is frustrating, however, for someone who really isn't doing it for the money to be turned down at schools that seem to place a high value on social service. Also, I have learned that diversity isn't solely about race and/or diversity (after all, they're social constructs). It is about asserting the uniqueness of each individual, and how each person contributes in a special way to diversity. It is ironic how few men and women can truly see that in our society (or any for that matter) unfortunately. Maybe I am wrong, but I got that vibe. Again, thanks for your input, and your apology is sincerely accepted! Take care.

hey, its always good to hear there are like minds out there! have fun babysitting the mailbox, and good luck!

again for the discussion. Do not think you offended me; in fact, I am glad to see another viewpoint :0) You bring up good points, and I have thought the same things myself; alas, it is still disheartening. It's no big deal, because I'll do well at another school if I so choose (I'm not saying that as arrogance, but as self-confidence). Thanks for the encouragement, and if you ever have more input, feel free to add it! Take care.

Congrats on the acceptances. Have you thought about Villanova? Its a great school, and you would probably get in with your numbers. A bit pricey though. By the way, I go to marywood too.

i'm jon warninger, i assume from your gpa that you were the smart kid in my con law course from last year, i know another dustin going to med school, so maybe there is just a lot of smart dustins walking around marywood...

just so you know i sent that last message about widener and the scholarship issure, i guess i wasnt logged in at the time. sorry

thanks for the help. im gonna give it a shot, its not actually at widener that im begging for more money but we'll see how it goes, worse case is they say no i guess. thanks though.
