Hi, I only received fee waivers to a couple schools, but I'm applying big because I'm not sure where my High LSAT / Low GPA split will take me. If the extra application fees lead to an acceptance in the T14 thats wonderful... but the middle-range schools might offer scholarships as well... so I think its worth it. Your numbers are pretty good though, and you should definitely apply to Harvard, Yale, or Stanford! The extra $250 in fees will be insignificant in the long run, if you get into those schools. Best of luck

I'm sure you'll do really well, too..I just got my first acceptance today, so I'm pretty excited!

good luck to you too! i'm also thinking about doing teach for america... the only thing that scares me is the two year time commitment. finish that PS and get those apps in!! the sooner the better!! i'll be rooting for you :)

did teach for america ... let me know if you have any questions about it (email enclosed)

I know I should with draw, but as much I love prestige a number of other things are very important in my decision as well. I think it's safe to say I'll probably not end up at UF, GW, GULC but the other 5 I need Fin. Aid. in front of me to make a decision. But I will withdraw from those three very soon out of consideration for other applicants. Thanks for the comments.

Truth be told, just like for undergrad, I'm treating myself as an "academic prostitute." Highest bidder From Stanford thru Penn wins!!!

I actually want to be a law professor, i could event tell you at what schools I\\\'d be willing te teach at now - UCLA, USC, Boalt, Miami, UF, Texas - or for that matter anywhere warm!!! So right out of law school - I\\\'m guessing big law 3-4 years to pay back some loans, next 3-4 public serive and then teaching into retirement. And for location, I will have of friends moving up to New York and my gf is at Georgetown law so that\\\'s where the various places came in.

Oh, if you do TFA, then get in to Chicago [not a problem for you] you're guaranteed a full scholarship. Only thing is that sets your life in stone for the next 5 years...

Yeah but for most of those loan repayment programs, you have to earn less than 38,000 per year. That's really the only reason that I want to do BIGLAW for the first few years now, to repay some. And law professors definitely don't qualify they make in excess of $100,000 so you can forget about that...

haha, thank you :) i'm sure you're going to do really well as soon as your apps are in... good luck with everything. i'll be watching your progress!!

it will be more helpful if I had my numbers up. I am going to put my numbers up as soon as I get my LSAT score. Good luck with your apps, you are a lock in for most of your schools!!

In response to your question, I actually am not even sure if I ever want to practice law... but I think that there is a balance between protecting resources and using them to advance society. Really I am just excited about getting away from Texas and meeting new people/experiencing new things. When are you going to send in those Apps!?

Apply! Apply! You are my favorite person on LSN (I am a TFA alumni and am looking for similar things in a law school, but on the East Coast) Best of luck!

with an exhortation to apply! Although your update makes it sound as if you've got too much going on--are you thinking TFA now and postponing ls apps later? Best of luck in either pursuit! I'll be checking back with you later.

i'm so glad you finally have your apps in!!! now hurry up and write that 250 so we can study (or not, since we won't have grades :) together at yale!!

Thanks a lot for the offer! My hometown is just south of Lawrence so I've got it covered:)

It is too bad we probably won't end up in the same place. Stanford is probably not going to be affordable for me, even if I'd love to go there if I got in. We'll see I suppose!

Good luck with Stanford, you might as well toss an app to Harvard and Yale; your numbers give you a great shot at those two schools!

I'd love to!!! Leaving my email address so you can send it to me :)

It will be a tough decision but i feel fortunate to be in the position to make it. Your stats are great. And 3 majors and 2 minors- thats incredible. Good luck with everything, I'm sure youll have some wonderful places to choose from. haha and FYI, my surprise was genuine

that was a really nice thing to say on my page. I think that my PS was actually well-written, it took me a good couple of months and I think that schools that are looking for what I can "offer" will appreciate that fact. The numbers driven schools will just be like nice ps and rec but OUT!! lol I wish you the best of luck with your apps, your GPA and LSAT are very impressive. ;0)

for the note! and good luck as the acceptances start to come in!

thanks for the nice note! this whole process has been pretty exciting. good luck with your applications! looking at your profile, i have no doubt that it's going to turn out really well for you.

So far so good. I'm dying waiting for these other decisions!

Congrats on your first acceptance. I hope I get one soon. It sucks being in total limbo. Good luck with the rest!

I got an email at 10pm about my status change at UVA and was wodnering when you got your call from dean trujillo... was it the next day? before the status change email?

it's 3:30 now... no phone call... how do you think he chooses who he is goin to call?

You're looking good...Why not NYU or Columbia? Not interested in NY?

Congrats on the money there! I'm sure you will be getting many more acceptances and I wish you all the best with your choice!

Thanks for the comment, babe :-) I hope that UVA with $$ (fantastic stuff!) bodes well for the rest of your cycle.

English, government, and history. Minored in Econ.

Heya, and thanks for the comment. Yep, definitely a Lackey fan, though it's been awhile since I've been able to tear myself away from work to read her new stuff. I suppose that's what the summer before law school is for. No worries about not getting the LCR thing - that's part of what makes it a great thesis topic - let's just say I like fighting the hardest fights, and it's a principle thing. Thanks for the well wishes, and congrats on Virginia! The other intern at LCR this summer was a 2L there, and loves it. Good luck with the rest of the cycle!

I love the reference to Once More With Feeling in regards to your law school categories. :)

Hey, looking at your application dates I assume you took the Dec LSAT. I was considering doing the same this year, but was wondering if you thought it was a good idea or not. Thanks for the input. I appreciate it.

I just wanted to let you know that your numbers are very impressive...I'm completely surprised you didn't get accepted to more of the schools you wanted. Would you say it was likely based on the date you sent in your applications?
