My gpa is low b/c of a dwi that forced me to leave Fall freshman semester w/out being able to w/draw and then when trying to correct the grades from that semester my dad was diagnosed w/cancer and had to have a kidney taken out...so that combined w/ the last 4 1/2 yrs w/ awesome grades makes me the "King of Wait List"

I have to keep the emphasis on this and what my "real gpa" is and it's not easy but a 2.89 LSDAS w/24 hours of F's isn't too shabby
P.S. SHSU for not giving me atleast one semester of W's those bastards wouldnt compromise!

Additional info & updates

2/23 decision made! -st.marys
2/26 decision letter-It's official I'm going to law school! St. Marys said yes...now continue to wait on other schools!
3/3 denied at michigan state via status checker
3/8 denial letter or so I thought...LEO application accompanied the orig denial letter...idk if i should apply...any suggestions?
3/19 Accepted to MSU via LEO Program and "file in review" at U of H
3/25 St. Mary's Dean emailed me about my scholarship award pkg, but would not state the details...Interview at Tech on Mon 3/29...hope it goes well! I need to go there!
4/2 Losing my mind b/c tech has started taking people that interviewed when I did and were on the WL...the stress is killing me!
4/5 Hofstra wait listed me...which really doesn't matter b/c I'm only interested in what Tech has to say now...I hope they call soon...
4/8 "Application in review" at TXWes, but who cares?! I need tech to tell me something...AHHHAHHH I'm losing it! This cycle will kill me before long!
4/13 Well I am for sure going to law school, I got my grad plus loan approved, this was a must have to attend any law school! God is good! I hope the rest of you are blessed!
4/20 Am I being punked? Wait listed at TxWes? haha I was about to w/draw after getting some lame email that they were going to push apps through really fast bc they had been under review by the aba...so basically they pushed these emails and are prob wL everyone that isnt above their median to buy them more time to be lazy? Keep your wl they're one step above TSU? Wow, that school is such a joke..why did I apply there? why not it was free?
4/20 Again, am I being punked? Seriously?! Rejected at South TX? I mean I honestly thought that school was a lock? Hmm...I guess this cycle maybe more competitive than I thought? wow I mean a WL from TXTech and Hofstra, accepted at MSU and stx equivalent St. Marys...geez this is humbling anyway Htown sucks now only to await my rejection at SMU and U of H so that I can keep nagging tech or just go forward w/St. Marys...
4/21 Another date change on my file in review status at UofH, does anyone know how many times this happens? If so, please leave me a comment...I don't expect anything from there anyway...
4/27 Decision rendered at SMU via status checker, no surprise to me it's going to be a rejection...knew it all along just had to apply there for the hell of it...still waiting on tech to make a decision...anyone else been taken off the tech wl yet?
4/30 rejection from SMU as expected, but still nothing from Tech atleast no rejection but how many rounds of cuts do I have left? St. Mary's as a definite is getting easier to stick with...and been in review since 3/18 on my last "file in review" since 4/21 it's going to be a rejection so let's just get that out of the way too!
5/5 Denied at UofH, no surprise...but did it really take them 2 months to have me "file in review" for that long? Oh well, c'mon tech I need a yes or no...

nothing new on tech wait list, i figure it will come after June 1 but I am going to florida for memorial day weekend to celebrate the cycle 99% being over and atleast going to law school! Every1 should do the same! If u are a tech wait list and have no info, leave me a notice!

I didn't submit a letter for Hofstra. Drexel just had a form to send back if you wanted to remain on the wiatlist and I am considering sending one for Pitt but haven't decided yet. Good luck!

i actually never sent them anything. i never expected to hear back from them so soon since their initial letter said deferral until march. so, i guess i got lucky! you should be able to get in soon hopefully! good luck w/ the rest of your cycle.

Congrats!

Congrats on your first acceptance! I hope many more come your way!

Yeah, it's a tough cycle all the way around. My LSAT was above their median in previous years, but not this year. Hey, I'm happy with where I'm going. Oh, FWIW, I toured MSU way back in the day when I was checking out UG schools. If you head up there, be prepared to freeze in the winter, dude! Good luck to you, man!

i don't mind at all! i haven't decided yet where i'm going to go, but it's pretty much between south texas and tech at this point. i paid my first deposit to tech a couple weeks ago (it was due 5 days ago), and the next one is due in june. not sure yet if i'll be paying that one. good luck with everything :)

I'm sorry to hear about STCL and TxWes. I really do think this is a more competitive year with the economy being the way it is. Keep the persistence with Tech and let me know as soon as you hear!

No, they did not waitlist me. However, they left me inlimbo for FOREVER! I had to call twice before I ever got close to an answer.

Monday, February 01 2010 at 07:00 PM

I haven't withdrawn from Tech because if I dont get in to UH or Baylor I will be going to Tech. I already made the first deposit which was due by 4/15 and they want another by June 1.

I'll probably stay on it, as I have not ruled it out yet... I am kind of shocked I was WLed since there are people with lower numbers than I that have gotten in

Re: Tech WL Accept
Saturday, April 24 2010 at 08:00 PM

I submitted my application to Tech the day it was due and I had been in review since 3/18ish...The past two weeks I had been checking my status checker, and that day it still said in review, so when I got the call, I was surprised because it still didn't say anything. Don't know when the deposit is due, I withdrew on Friday. But when/if they do accept you, most schools give you 24-48 hours to send a deposit. As for where I'll end up, I have noooo clue yet. I already sent a deposit to St. Mary's 3/31, but that was just in case I didn't get any other acceptances. Right now I'm leaning towards accepting Pitts offer and staying on American's WL. How about you?

No I haven't heard anything yet! According to last year, people heard in April and June but not much in May. Idk- have you been in contact with them since your interview?

UH
Monday, February 01 2010 at 07:00 PM

Yeah im having the same problem they have had me in file in review since middle march!

Monday, February 01 2010 at 07:00 PM

That sucks! Well I got a couple of other schools in mind ... you could always send them an updated letter stating that they are your first choice or something so that they keep you in mind with the waitlist.

Monday, February 01 2010 at 07:00 PM

I don't know ... I think im gonna pay the deposits on Tech and send some letters out, I was pretty bummed though :/ .... Damn LSP! wish I would have never known about that website! I got my hopes up! HAHA

Tuesday, August 25 2009 at 08:00 PM

I agree with the St Mary's comment. I was a little shocked, but I am over it. I like the Houston legal market better anyways. Nice to see another brother going into law school. In Hoc.

If you're still attending St. Mary's, we'll be classmates. I'm in section A, you?
