Extra Curricular Information

Nothing too exciting about my extracurriculars...

Worked through undergrad with an on-campus job during school, as well as summer employment at a non-profit summer camp, in the advertising department of the student newspaper, and at a travel agency.

Interned with city government and an advertising group.

Held two leadership positions in an advertising-related club.

Study abroad in London over a summer. (For schools that strongly encouraged a diversity statement, I wrote about this. Otherwise, I'm pretty much the opposite of diverse)

My application included an addendum regarding withdrawals on my transcript.

Congrats! Hopefully the rest of the "decisions" from 11/23 are acceptances. I'd love to get in there.

Congrats on UMD. Based off LSN and your stats, that decision is an acceptance!

First of all congrats! FL resident myself, UM undergrad with similar stats and apps. If I may, why FSU over UF or UM?

^^Thanks to "Advice" above. I always appreciate input from people who've been through it already. I've actually been seriously rethinking my top schools so I'm just going to remove my rankings until I have a better idea. I'm having some doubts about American since its apparently the "party law school" of DC (not that I don't like having fun, but I'd prefer my law school to not have that reputation). I just wish UF/UGA would give me a decision!
