Good luck to you as well :)
My alum interview was pretty relaxed. He asked me pretty typical questions like why law school. We actually spent a lot of time talking about his time in the District Attorney's office. I wouldn't worry about it too much. As far as how I found out, I went to decision about 3 days after the alum interview and got my acceptance by snail mail. Hope this helps!
Above all, I think I have a lot of luck. But besides that, I have work experience during and after undergrad and good grades in a couple of grad courses. Also have four above average recommendations. Stay positive man. Cincinatti is not a bad school and the fact that they threw money at you tells me you're probably getting into a top tier school, maybe even top 25 or top 30. If you decide to defer and re-apply next year, I suggest getting a graduate degree (maybe a one year MA program), which will demonstrate your ability to handle a graduate-level course-load. If you decide to enter law school this year, but at a school like Cincinatti, prepare yourself as much as you can over the summer (without burning out, that is), kick ass during your 1L year, and try to transfer to a better school. I know plenty of dudes that transferred from UF into T14 schools after 1L. Finally, if you end up graduating from a low tier 1 or a tier 2, an LLM from NYU or Georgetown could do wonders for your career.
Yeah I'm really nervous about this cycle too...seems like there's going to be a lot of waitlisting for me. I'm really hoping for ND, but my chances aren't too good. I'm surprised you got held at Illinois though, cause you should be in with those numbers.
