froufrou (2022-2023)

love that band. when do they have a new album coming out?

good things will happen. the way i see it is that if you do not get into your top choices you can always regroup and either apply in a few years or do something else. I am a firm believer in optimism, and whatever is best for you will be given to you. this is not to say that fate controls our lives, but rather we as humans often tend to make the best of what happens to us and make it work. you will get into a good school, i can feel it.

We're truly identical law school candidates! Good luck on Santa Clara. I too received a app. fee waiver and my numbers are not that good. I am going to watch your progress.

They actually asked me to re-take the Feb. LSAT. So I assume that they will be using the February score. Good luck with all your apps, it seems we applied at a lot of the same schools.

good luck, imogen heap rocks, so will your apps. ;-)

Hey thanks! Yeah I know that I'm going to law school this fall for sure. You're right about Southwestern. Given that I am accepted to both SW and Chapman, I'm definately choosing SW. Chapman is a decent school but it's just too new and the job prospect is limited in LA. Chapman waitlisted me and I do know that SW has a slightly higher admission standard than Chapman so I'm crossing my finger. But then again, I just got waitlisted at Loyola Chicago, a decent t2 (70th) so I guess you never know what's going to happen. Hope you get some acceptances soon especially at SC!

for dropping by and the words of encouragement. It's really hard not to lose hope; my LSAT score is pathetic compared to my cousins' (who both scored a 180). By the way, don't sell yourself short. You have amazing ecs, which will get you in to at least some of the schools you applied for. Don't settle/apply to the schools you have no intention of attending, that's just wasting money. If you don't get in this year (and that is a big IF), you can always apply again next year with a higher LSAT score. I will definitely be keeping my fingers crossed for you. Good luck!

Thanks for the comment on my page. I sincerely hope you get into SCU as well. I know how stressful the process is. Just take it one walk to the mailbox at a time. :)

I applied too, but as a long shot. Are you familiar with the area at all? is it expensive to live around there?

Wow California schools are taking so long to get back to us. You must be nervous.

From what I have been accepted so far, Willamette is my biggest contender. Lately I've been falling back in love with the Northwest. Nevertheless, I'd still like to hear from some Californian schools. I hope they speed up on your applications since your focus is on Cali schools. My guess is that they should get back to you at least before April 1, when seat deposits are due at many schools. Otherwise, it will be pretty jacked up.

hey froufrou yea damn usf! haha. anyways, the sw admissions lady called me and asked if i would accept and i said yes. a week later, i got the large envelope.

Sorry to hear about USF. Why are Californian schools take so long?

Hehe it's fine. I expected the rejection letter from SCU anyway. I can live with it. You asked me if SW is better than CW. Yes, I think so. Unless SD is your only destination, I think SW will serve you better in Southern California, especially in Los Angeles. SW is a T3 and its reputation has been rising recently. However either school has a high attrition rate and a low forced curve. If you make it, you will be very successful coming out of SW. I'm not so sure how competitive SD legal market is. It probably is considering how beautiful SD is and everyone wants to live there. I would go to SW over CW.

i know exactly how you feel. i was quite traumatized by the number of rejections I received, even though I knew they were long shots. if you don't get into the schools you want this year, you can always reapply next year...it's not the end of the world. Just be sure to take the lsat again. However, i'm still holding out hope for you. there are still many schools to hear from. i'm sure you'll get in. i believe in you!

Good luck with the remainder of your pendings. Remember, you can always transfer after 1L! There are so many options for you that you shouldn't stress yourself. Everything will work out!!

Thanks for the comment. Any news from SCU?

Hi! At least there's still some hope for you, since you haven't heard back from a lot of schools yet. Would you go to UoP if you're accepted there? I'm strongly leaning towards just taking the LSAT again. I know my score could be much, much higher. Anyhoo, good luck!

sorry to hear about SW... did you apply for the FT or PT program? If you applied for PT I'm so sorry a 2.5 index should have gotten you waitlisted at the very least. Hang in there and GL with the rest of your apps!

I dont think the deposit is refundable. I was going to just leave the deposit, but then decided to withdraw since I dont plan on going there, since its in so cali and I dont want to live there. I lived there all my life and ive had enough of the place =) ... This process is driving me crazy as well and I dont want to take the lsat again. I was thinking maybe ill transfer after a year.

Hey you still got Pepperdine, McGeorge and SC to hear from. Those are T2. I think you will also get into California Western for 100%. They will probably throw you some money. I don't plan on going to SW anyway. I used to live nearby... and the area is pretty ghetto.

hang in there, there's still hope. Good luck!

congratulations ! igot rejected from southwestern as well lol..but m on the waitlist for USF, and TjSL don't know about the waitlist game but ll just rough it out. we applied to alot of the same schools.

Wow, I'm really happy for you that you got waitlisted at SC! I'm crossing my fingers for you. Please get into this school and show the world there are more important qualities than mere numbers in applicants who deserve to go to a good school. Good luck!

If money was no object I would be going to SCU. However, I have 3 dogs and I would have had to pay a fortune to rent something near Santa Clara. Sacramento has much more rental inventory and has a higher vacancy rate which keeps rent low. Have you made a decision?

did u get into scu? or did u retake the lsat? let me know how things are.
