Additional info & updates

Got all my applications out early, so I'm hoping that rolling admissions will be my friend.

One of the most important things I learned after going through this process is to ignore everyone who tells you where you should/shouldn't apply based on your numbers. While some schools may only be interested in numbers, I refuse to believe that all schools are that shallow. Furthermore, numbers cannot paint a picture of your unique background and how your contributions would enrich a law school class. Websites that use historical data to predict where you will be accepted/rejected are fine for some people, but I would never let that data discourage me from applying somewhere.

My approach? Apply to schools with the belief that you are the outlier - you may just be.

After all, you will always miss 100% of the shots you never take.

Good luck to everyone who is applying this cycle - I hope you all get the big packet!

Love your info. Good luck! Hope we'll get one of those outlier spots! :)

Tuesday, April 27 2010 at 08:00 PM

Good luck on your cycle. We have some of the same schools on our list and possibly the same numbers.

Thursday, June 24 2010 at 08:00 PM

Haha I haven't yet... I go back and forth everyday with the same concern that you do... I kind of have a fun unique soft so we'll see how it goes. I probably won't ED since mostly everyone with my stats got in with the exception of a few WL's... I think I'm willing to take the risk and let whatever happens happen!

Monday, October 20 2008 at 08:00 PM

good luck on your cycle! we've got similar numbers and similar target schools, so i'll be looking out to see how you do!

Tuesday, October 05 2010 at 08:00 PM

Just added Penn State - got a fee waiver so why not? This waiting thing is killing me...

Tuesday, October 05 2010 at 08:00 PM

I haven't even gotten an acknowledgement that Loyola received my application. From what I'm reading on other forums, no one has heard anything yet. I don't even see a link to a status checker on their admissions site. Do they even have one?

Tuesday, October 05 2010 at 08:00 PM

Okay, I added Indiana-Bloomington today, and I think that will be my last app. It's probably my biggest "reach" school aside from UC Irvine. Hey, why not aim high? :)

Thursday, June 24 2010 at 08:00 PM

Congrats on getting all the apps out. I think the waiting part is the most stressful!

Tuesday, October 05 2010 at 08:00 PM

Got my first acceptance today to Santa Clara!!! I looked on my status-checker and it showed as Admitted. Nice to have an acceptance as my first decision of the cycle...

Congrats!
Monday, October 20 2008 at 08:00 PM

Nice job on your acceptance to Santa Clara. We're pretty much number twins, so maybe this bodes well for me! Either way, well done! Good luck on the rest of your cycle.

UC Irvine
Monday, October 20 2008 at 08:00 PM

Well, it's free to apply and there's a 1/3 scholarship guarantee...why not? Good luck!

Tuesday, October 05 2010 at 08:00 PM

First rejection letter today! Got rejected from University of Cincinnati. I had no desire to go, but they gave me a fee waiver so I applied. I do have to be honest though - if it was a decision based on my numbers, I'm a bit disappointed that I got rejected from a middle-T2 school because there are other similarly-ranked schools that I really DO want to attend.

Thank you!
Monday, October 20 2008 at 08:00 PM

Thanks for the nice comment. Santa Clara is a great school, and Cincy is foolish not to let you in ;). Maybe I WILL see you in the fall! Good luck on the rest of your cycle, either way!

Tuesday, October 05 2010 at 08:00 PM

In at Seattle via status checker on the 24th! I'm looking forward to getting the packet to see if there is any scholarship money, and how it compares to Santa Clara. Now I'm starting to think about where I want to live... Norcal or Seattle...

Tuesday, October 05 2010 at 08:00 PM

Got the big packet from Lewis & Clark today! It's been a good week...

Tuesday, October 05 2010 at 08:00 PM

Waitlisted at Iowa. Actually I'm pretty happy with that, considering that was one of my reaches.

Tuesday, October 05 2010 at 08:00 PM

My status checker still says "Application File Complete" and I received my packet in the mail 2 weeks ago. Maybe they don't update the status checkers after applications go complete?

Tuesday, October 05 2010 at 08:00 PM

Waitlisted at Colorado today by snailmail. Not surprised, but at least it wasn't a rejection!

Tuesday, October 05 2010 at 08:00 PM

In at Chapman via status checker today! Hopefully some $$ will come with my packet!

Tuesday, October 05 2010 at 08:00 PM

Well I have to say I'm pretty disappointed that I received no scholarship offer from Chapman. That pretty much puts them out of the running...

Tuesday, October 05 2010 at 08:00 PM

WL at Penn State via email. I am the king of the waitlist.

Tuesday, October 05 2010 at 08:00 PM

Just got an email from ASU - Held over to the regular applicant pool. I'm bummed about this one, but still holding out hope that I will be admitted during the regular pool!

Tuesday, October 05 2010 at 08:00 PM

Accepted to Case Western Reserve via email. Very excited about this one!

Getting the runaround
Monday, October 20 2008 at 08:00 PM

That's EXACTLY what happened to me! "Complete means complete" I think were her exact words. Great, I understand what the definition of the word is, thanks, but doesn't complete mean you should be DOING something about it? Grrrrrrr, so frustrating!

Tuesday, October 05 2010 at 08:00 PM

Got an email admission to Southwestern today. I applied to the part-time program there, so it will be interesting to see what kind of scholarship $ (if any) they offer.

Tuesday, October 05 2010 at 08:00 PM

Only if I got substantial $$. If not, I will likely withdraw.

Tuesday, October 05 2010 at 08:00 PM

In at U of Utah via phone call. This one is particularly exciting, because it is the first public school I have been accepted to, and it is near the top of my list. Looks like I will be withdrawing from several other schools this week as a result of this one.

Tuesday, October 05 2010 at 08:00 PM

Rejected from Indiana-Bloomington via US Mail. No big disappointment there.

USF Acceptance
Monday, October 20 2008 at 08:00 PM

Hey, did you get a "decision rendered" and then an admitted email about a day later on the USF acceptance? That's the pattern I'm seeing on TLS, but I went DR late Thursday night/early Friday morning and didn't get a call on Fri...I'm a little worried.

Tuesday, October 05 2010 at 08:00 PM

I never got a login for a status checker at USF so I just got the email out of the blue. I swear there are like 3 schools that I never got a status checker email from.

Tuesday, October 05 2010 at 08:00 PM

Waitlisted at Pepperdine via snailmail today. Ick! Already withdrew.

Tuesday, October 05 2010 at 08:00 PM

Waitlisted at Loyola by snailmail. It's about time...

Tuesday, October 05 2010 at 08:00 PM

El Rejecto today at William & Mary via email.

LLS
Monday, October 20 2008 at 08:00 PM

I'm still waiting to hear back from them. It's almost April! Time to get the ball rolling, right?

Tuesday, October 05 2010 at 08:00 PM

Just rejected at UW. Not surprised, but it was worth a shot.

Tuesday, October 05 2010 at 08:00 PM

Finally rejected from UCI today via snailmail. I didn't expect to get in, but it certainly didn't need to take them almost 6 months to make a decision.

Tuesday, October 05 2010 at 08:00 PM

So, there are 3 schools left and then my cycle is over - and I really don't give a shit about 2 of them. So ASU, if you're out there - I need you to come through for me!

UCI
Monday, October 20 2008 at 08:00 PM

We got our dings on the same day. They really need to get an online status checker!!

Monday, October 20 2008 at 08:00 PM

So, where are you leaning this late in the game? Still waiting for ASU?

Tuesday, October 05 2010 at 08:00 PM

Waitlisted at ASU, and I'm off to Utah in the fall! Cycle is over. Whew.

Tuesday, October 05 2010 at 08:00 PM

Just when I thought it was all over, ASU offers a spot off the wait list. Withdrew from Utah and accepted at ASU. Heading to Tempe in the fall and could not be happier. Life is good. :)

ASU
Monday, October 20 2008 at 08:00 PM

Congrats!!!!!! I know you were waiting for them! I'm excited for you, I know you'll love it. Good luck in 1L!
