Good to see another hispanic on LSN. Good luck in this cycle!

On the LSAT. Hope it goes well.

I sure hope so it goes well. Thanks for the support. By the way, where did you study/travel in Europe?

Well, cold in Europe doesn't really narrow it down, but I also enjoy traveling. Europe is one of my favorite destinations.

Thanks for the well-wishes! I felt pretty knocked around by the LSAT, moreso than I expected. I'll be retaking too, I think, if 160 or under. Can't even fathom that at this point, especially after I saw that no testing sites have availability in DC.

Good Luck on the LSAT. I also took in on the 30th and am hoping for the best. Good luck through all the application process! I hope you can get into the schools you want. I agree that Utah will be cheap...but my wife and I are hoping to get out of state for awhile....anyway, Good Luck!

I was in a similar situation as you, i scored 6-7 points lower on the LSAT then on practice, i decided to apply and included an addendum letting the schools know i would be taking the test again. i figured at least i'll be on their radar screens and hopefully my higher lsat next time around will seal the deal. i think you could try this also, send in the apps and then just update with the new lsat. in any case good luck this cycle

to a fellow LDS Dem. We need to stick together.

so I guess you're the next Harry Reid then? Sweet. Good luck with your apps! Remeber: Rambo loves you.

I want to second the comment about its awesomeness! I grew up there and I loved it. It is a great place to raise kids but also a lot of fun as far as the college scene goes. Also UNM's campus is in a really fun part of town. Good luck with your apps!

So you have multiple LSATs? The thing that stopped me from applying to Duke is that they average LSAT scores, making me have much lower chances at that school. Regardless, good luck!

on the second LSAT. Awesome.

that probably wasn't LDS-appropriate language. Well, way to go and God Bless.

Congrats on the BYU acceptance, man!!!!

Prior to my 158, I was actually practicing with scores in the mid 160's. I just psyched myself out with nerves to get the 158, thinking only about the negatives and how many questions I might have missed while I should have been focusing on the problem at hand. The increase was just a result of calming myself down before the test.

Congrats on the acceptances man!

gw and temple on the same day! congrats!

Hi and congratulations! just a question.. how did you know about Temple acceptance?

Thanks! I really appreciate that! I'll let you know as soon as I know.. teotret

Email me if you have any questions about the school. Congratulations!!!

Wow, you are sweeping your cycle. Congrats on all those full rides! I'm very happy for you. :)

How did CU notify you? Email, phone call, or snail mail? Thanks

how did they notify you?

Saw what you wrote on another person's page.

Hey man, you are totally rocking this cylce! Congratulations. It gives me a wee bit of hope, because we have very similar soft factors.

Congrats fellow Philosopher! FULL RIDE to GW... that is a sweet deal. Plenty of hiring from there. Good luck on Columbia and Virginia. I'd rather go to GW for free than to Cornell, personally. But I don't like the cold or ithaca too much, so I'm biased.

Congrats on your acceptances! What's your top choice?

If I get into U of Hawaii (my last pending app), I may go there. If I don't get in, I'll probably end up at SLU. Also, Seattle U, while unlikely to get in off the WL, remains an appealing choice due to the array of courses and that it's in a city where I can see myself practicing law. Whatever the case, my decision will be heavily influenced on my spring break trip to visit law schools. It's too early for me to tell yet.

you write that your scholarship is $45k. is that the actually dollar amound quoted in your letter?

not sure. i like salt lake and the u environment better, but i've yet to even hear from them. byu is ranked better (though they dropped this year, it looks like) and it has a strong international law focus, but i'll almost defintely practice in wasatch area after law school and would be just as happy in the environmental program at the u. in the end, it might be an issue of money. i was told that the u gives scholarship preference to applicants who completed before jan 15, so if they don't come through with money, i'm defintely heading south.

would you mind withdrawing from the U of U if you think you won't be attending there? Thanks in advance

WOW GW is throwing out some big bucks! BYU and UTAH are the superior schools, and you're in-state...If I was as lucky as you, I'd pick on of the aforementioned schools for sure. SLC is a great palce...

hrafnkell: Given your slew of outstanding offers, is there still any chance of you ending up at U of U?

DC or LA--big city living for you in either case....lots of opportunities! Good Luck. I'm still awaiting some decisions and really enjoyed my visit to Pacific McGeorge. McGeorge becomes a serious contender if I can squeeze some more $$$ out of them. Other than that, Utah is looking real nice.

Cornell! Yay! :)

To whom did you direct your request for more money from USC? I'm also strongly considering them, especially if they drop me some extra cash.

That answer sounded familiar...I should've cross-referenced LSD with LSN; haha, oh well...thanks again.

Yeah... I emailed Dean Richard and she asked where I decided on and my major reasons. Wrote her a nice, long email. Hope it helps her.

Good luck at GW!

Congrats on the decision, and good luck at GW - we'll miss you at Cornell!
