Congrats on your Santa Clara acceptance! Good luck on the pendings. I know the wait is a drag, but we don't have much longer to go.
Congrats on your numerous acceptances! I think we are both "on hold" at Davis... The wait is LONG! Best of luck to you!
Despite what most law schools claim, they do not take a holistic approach in reviewing applications. LSAT is the primary factor and GPA is a very distant second. Your GPA is not bad so if you do well on the LSAT (160+) I think you will have a very good chance at being accepted. Thanks for the kind words.best of luck to you. Feel free to email me if you have any other questions (tipota@gmail.com).

Did you put the evening program as your second choice on your application?
Here is what she said when I asked for advice in deciding between SW & USF, "First off, congratulations on the schools that have accepted you thus far. If you find that the three schools are your only options, and based on your future plans to work in Southern California, I would go with Southwestern University. Many of the large firms in Southern California recruit from Southwestern more than they do from Chapman or USF. As you may know, finding a job at a large law firm is getting extremely competitive as more and more students enter law school. My best advice to you would be to make sure you do very well at law school, whichever law school you attend. If you are unable to get into UCLA or USC, try to transfer into one of those schools after your first year. Gibson, Dunn only looks at the very top at Southwestern, San Diego and Loyola. We go deeper into the UCLA and USC classes and we do not recruit from Chapman or USF. Although our firm is known to be stricter in its hiring practices, many other large firms follow similar hiring practices." I hope this helps - Good Luck!
Hey, Thanks for your support. I have decided to attend Southwestern University. I was very impressed by the people there and they also offered me a generous scholarship. I think I should have considered Chapman a little bit more. A lot of people have very positive comments about the school. I didnt have much hope for the schools I got waitlisted at, but the other day I was accepted at U of the Pacific. Good luck with all your appsthe process is a little maddening but it is a good life lesson (sometimes things seem unfair but you should make the most out of the hand youre dealt). :)
We applied to many of the same schools. Best of Luck to you!
