enzo66 (2022-2023)

The stats are close to my actual numbers. I will correct them after the cycle is done. Extracurricular info will also be added at the end, unless you wish to PM me for specifics.

12/22: Accepted by the University of Minnesota. Great Christmas present! Ended up with $5,000 initial scholarship.

12/25: Accepted by University of Colorado-Boulder.

12/28: Received my third (and final) LSAT results this morning. I am vindicated: 170 (98th percentile).

Also, received deferral from Cornell University. Hopefully an updated transcript and new LSAT score will change their minds.

1/6: Went complete at Georgetown. Several other status checkers were updated as well.

1/7: Accepted by Duke University School of Law via email. It was awesome to get this first T14 acceptance. I was accepted into the LLM in intl/comp law as well so I'd be a summer starter.

1/9: Filled out and emailed scholarship application for Duke Law.

1/11: Reached decision at Michigan. After an initial deferral from Michigan (early decision), as of today the status checker says they've reached a decision. Hopefully it's a good one.

Also received a letter from George Washington about financial aid, which is curious because I never received an initial "acceptance" letter. In any case, they awarded $105,000 conditional on continued 3.0 GPA. I could also get free housing my first year.

1/12: Received the official George Washington acceptance today with a nice note from the dean about my personal statement.

1/13: Read two emails today. One from BYU asked about a phone/live interview with Dean Hernandez and the other from Boston University said that my application is complete (finally).

1/15: Rejected by Harvard today via email. Although it certainly was unfortunate, it was not unexpected. Oh well. I guess there are other places I'm supposed to go. We'll roll with the punches and keep working hard. Congratulations to everyone who did get in.

1/16: Rejected by Michigan via snail mail today. DR on 1/11; letter mailed on 1/12. Another "oh well."

1/20: Accepted by BYU during a phone interview with Dean Hernandez. We had a very nice conversation and he indicated I'll be receiving a "significant" scholarship.

1/21: Received a phone call from Jason Dugas with the good news: acceptance at UVA. I'm thrilled!

1/22: Was not as thrilled with the University of Chicago rejection email I received today. I knew with 3 LSAT scores and my highest just above the 25th percentile it was a long shot, but I figured I would try anyway. Oh well. I've already got Duke and Virginia. Hopefully Berkeley and Georgetown provide a few more T14 options, but we'll see how it goes.

1/25: Accepted by Washington University in St. Louis via email from Dean Clifford. Also I am under consideration for a Scholars in Law award. WUSTL was a preferred pick several months ago, so it felt good to get this acceptance. Their TLP is pretty sweet as well.

2/5: Being reviewed at Georgetown finally. I've been complete since 1/6.

2/6: Received a nice, personalized letter from Dean Hernandez of BYU. Although it is conditional, I was happy to see the full tuition scholarship offer.

2/17: Updated on my Georgetown status checker. The date finally moved to 2/17. Perhaps a snail mail acceptance or email rejection is forthcoming?

2/18: Rejected by Berkeley today. A huge wave of highly qualified applicants got the ax. I guess that's what happens when over 8,400 apply. I honestly wasn't seriously considering it anyway, so it's not a big deal at all. Based on financial aid, looks like its probably UVA or Duke this fall.

2/22: Updated status checker for Georgetown indicates that a decision has been rendered. If I do not get a rejection email within the next few days, perhaps it is safe to assume an acceptance letter is forthcoming.

2/23: Tried a trick of another admitted student. I was able to access the Georgetown admitted students page, so I think we're in! It's nice to have another T14 acceptance.

2/25: Received official acceptance from Georgetown and scholarship letter from Duke. Duke gave me $67,500 spread evenly over three years and an extra $5,000 for the summer start. I'm very pleased with this competitive offer. WUSTL also sent a "Scholar in Law" scholarship email--$123,000 over three years.

3/4: Received snail mail acceptance from the University of Washington.

3/8: Received Dean's Merit from University of Utah: $85,125 over three years. The University of Colorado-Boulder also offered the Dean's Scholar award--full tuition, unconditional--for the next three years. I'm very grateful for the offers.

3/11: Received UVA's Dean's Scholarship in the mail today: unconditional $75,000 evenly over 3 years. I'm pretty happy! I'll reexamine offers and make a final decision now, but it looks like UVA has a pretty good chance!

3/16: Withdrew from a number of schools today. I'm grateful for the acceptances, but there's better options.

3/24: Withdrew from the rest of the schools today. I've decided to attend the University of Virginia and put down $500 for the first deposit.

3/31: Heard back from Boston University finally. I was placed on the waitlist. I don't think I'll be sending in a LOCI. :)

4/25: Forgot I hadn't withdrawn from Cornell yet. Also, put down 2nd deposit at UVA. I'm ready to go.
