Work-part time during school year and in the summer I work full-time with the District Attorney's office.

Have helped run local elections and have also been involved in other cummunity activites.

Update 11/30/10: Since I graduated in May 2010 I have worked full-time at the Montgomery County DA's Office in the Case Control Unit, the Fugitive Unit, and Victim/Witness Unit.

Final Update: I will be attending Widener School of Law in the Fall 2011.

Update: Temple is taking forever to give me a answer. Maybe that is a good sign, but who knows.

Update: Received a rejection letter from Drexel. This can only mean I will not be accepted to Temple. Looks like I wll be attending Widener in the fall.

Update: Received PSU rejection letter. Three schools down, two more to go--Temple (#1 choice) and Drexel.

Update 3/3/11: So far I have been accepted to Widener and Roger Williams. RWU gave me a scholarship of $10,000 a year ($30,000 overall).

Update 2/15/11: Done sending out applications. Now I will wait.

Update 1/27/11: All my application are sent. I only am applying to local schools. Hoping Widener or Temple except me. Do you think I should have schools outside of the state just as backup?

Update 1/6/11: Received my LSAT score. I got a 153. I went from the 16th percentile to the 56th percentile--huge jump.

Update 12/17/10: I only listed the PA schools I plan on applying to right now. In the future, depending on my LSAT score, I will list other schools if need be. If my score is high enough to stay in PA that is what I plan on doing.

Update 12/17/10: Took the LSAT December 11th. I think it went well, but who the hell knows! Right now I am thinking through my personal statement. Anyone have any thoughts? I have everything else set up--LORs, and Applications--just waiting on my score ( I know I should just send in my application, but I am hesitant since I don't know my score). I am hoping it is at least a 150. My fingers are crossed. Probably the last time I am going to put myself through this process, very stressfull all this waiting.

Update 11/30/10: Well this is my second application cycle. As you can see, the first cycle did not go so well. Mainly because my LSAT score was horrible. But, that was the past and since then I have studied my ass off. My LSAT score is in the 150s now, so my fingers are crossed. I take the LSAT December 11th. Wish me luck.

Update 6/21/10-- Well I have one school left. Looks like I will not be heading to law school this time around.

Update 6/15/10- NCCU rejected me because the 2010 incoming class was full ( I applied late). They told me to reapply in October for 2011.

Update 5/12/2010-- I have three schools that I am waiting to hear from-North Carolina Central, RWU, University of Dayton. At this point I don't know if I will even go to law school. A law degree is not what it use to be so I have a lot of decisions left to make.

Update 3/29/2010: I have been rejected by U of Baltimore. Rethinking my options now. Might go back to DA's office and work, and at night get my master of criminal justice. After a year I will reassess my options. Maybe apply for a Federal position or to law school again. Any suggestions?

Update 3/11/2010: I have been rejected by Dickinson and unfortunately Widener. My prospects of going to law school seem to be dimensioning, especially since I was rejected by Widener. I am hoping that an out of state school takes a chance on me. Does any one have any suggestions?

First posting: I have all my LORs into LSAC. I have sent out 5 of 8 law school applications. I have an excellent personal statement along with 4 excellent LOR. One LOR is from Chair of CRJ, One is from an Assisstant District Attorney, One is from Chief County Fugitive Investigator, and One is from a Psychology professor. I am thinking positive. I have a low LSAT score but that is the only think holding me back at this point.
