The order above does not reflect my preferences, and I will not be ranking schools until after I receive decisions.

I'm hoping my reach schools see past my numbers.
PLEASE!
I promise I am more capable than my numbers suggest!

10/20/06: Got my LSAT score for 9/30 back. Could have done better, but I let my nerves and inability to bubble correctly get to me.
11/01/06: Playing the waiting game on those LORs. I gave the forms to my recommenders in like September!
11/10/06: Yay fee waivers! Columbia, Georgetown, Duke, U of VA are the only ones I'm using. Also, Priority Track for Duke.
11/20/06: Harvard e-mail and Yale letter in the mail, both encouraging me to apply. I was going to apply anyways, but I'm still excited to get these. I heard that nobody ever gets into Yale. I heard that they don't even have a law school and it's all just a myth.
12/06: I decided to ditch Duke. There are very few schools I would leave my lovely So. Cal. for, and I have already applied to all of them. And I wouldn't have to think twice about leaving the O.C. for them.
12/17/06: Rawr. This waiting thing is killing the Christmas spirit. That, and I have to work everyday and tell my bosses that I still haven't heard anything from ANYONE.
12/26/06: Yay my first acceptance! I love you, Georgetown!
:)
01/07/07: Yay USC acceptance in a small white envelope, along with a bigger envelope with information. Now I have 2 options!
01/10/07: Call from Rob Schwartz at UCLA! I might just stay here after all...
01/16/07: I knew it was a bad sign when they said my decision wouldn't be mailed to me. WTH NORTHWESTERN?! Was it because I didn't want an interview? Now I feel really depressed about Boalt and basically all the other schools I still haven't heard from.
01/26/07: Virginia status check changed to "decision."
01/29/07: Happy Birthday to my Dad! Also, happy day for me...small cream envelope from UoVA with an acceptance inside. Oh man, I'm still sweating a little from opening it.
01/30/07: In at BU, deferred at HU. Time for some serious campaigning. I WILL claw my way in, if it's the last thing I do.
02/14/07: No love from Columbia on Valentine's Day. I mean...Singles Awareness Day. :(
03/02/07: I came back from a weekend road trip to San Fran to find a Berkeley deferral or whatever that e-mail about passing initial review is called. Berkeley is definitely one of my top choices, so I'm pretty bummed, but still hoping for the best.
03/02/07: Also came home to a Yale rejection. Not a big shock...I think I'm more upset about the midterm I just bombed. I do hope that this is my last rejection. :)
04/04/07: Back from UVA Admitted Students Weekend. I LOVED it. I was so convinced I was going there until I got 120K from BU. WHATTTTT?!?!?! Hrm this is getting tough.
04/23/07: After visiting UCLA this past weekend, I decided that I was right all along and UVA is the best place for me. UCLA was nice, but I was just so taken with UVA and I definitely did not feel that at UCLA.

-Of course, I will wait for Harvard, but at this point, my morale is pretty low.
