12-7-05 Thin white envelope from Marquette. It feels good to have one out of the way!

12-12-05 I am devoting waaaay to much time to worrying about where I will go to law school. How pathetic is it that one of the highlights of my day is checking the mail? (That was a rhetorical question....please don't answer) For anyone who happens to need a diversion (besides this website) listen to my band. :)

12-15-05 Accepted at Cincinnati! Received in a tall white envelope a little bigger than the size of a Christmas card. Incidentally, I also received an evenlope about the same size from George Mason, which was a "holiday" card. The card said that I should expect a decision by Jan. 30.

12-22-05 Merit scholarship offer from Marquette in the amount of $18k per year. Expected tuition in 2006-07 is $27750, so tuition including scholarship would be $9750

12-23-05 Merry Christmas!! Acceptance letter from Indiana University and merit scholarship in the amount of $5k per year via priority mail dated 12-21. If in-state tuition remains the same as it was last year (I know this isn't a safe assumption) my cost would be $8500. Due to in-state tuition, proximty to home, and quality of school, it would take something pretty special for me not to attend IU

12-24-05 Scholarship offer from Cincy received via standard mail; 9k per year renewable. In-state tuition in Ohio is reportedly fairly easily obtained (because my wife will be seeking a job in Ohio, I believe I will be able to get in-state tuition the first year........correct me if I am wrong) , so, provided that assumption, that would make tuition roughly 7k per year at Cincy.

12-31-05 In at Ohio State!!!!

1-10-06 6k per year scholarship at The OSU.

1-12-05 Acceptance packet from St. Louis University. 15k per year scholarship w/nomination for 1843 scholarship.

1-17-06 Lots of mail today! First, the good news; I am in at UK, which is a school I would consider as long as I get a decent scholarship. I was expecting an outright rejection from Illinois, but I am on hold. I consider that to be some type of moral victory, but all things considered, I don't think I will be in Champaign-Urbana this fall. I have to say, I didn't see the waitlist in my future at Loyola. I am withdrawing myself from consideration....Loyola seems like a good school, but the only way I was going to attend was with good $$$, and I doubt that I will get that off of the waitlist.

1-20-05 Letter from George Mason letting me know not to expect a decision before mid-Feb. I have a visit scheduled at IU on 2-10, and I am hoping to schedule visits to Ohio State, Cincy, and UK during Feb. as well, and hopefully I can make a decision during the first couple weeks of March.

2-15-06 Dry spell for the past couple of weeks. I have in-state tuition at UK. Also, got a letter today from Notre Dame telling me I am on the waitlist (They call it provisional). I am 99.9% sure that I am going to start looking for a place in Bloomington. I will be withdrawing from pretty much every school except IU during the next week or so. Good luck to everyone who is still waiting.....I feel your pain!!!!!!

4-1-06 And with a waitlist from W & L, my cycle is completely over..... I feel very good about my decision to attend IU-B, and I consider the fact that I haven't received a single outright rejection some sort of moral victory. I will post more of my thoughts on this process at some point in the future.
