Extra Curricular Information

Graduated from Providence College in May '05 with a lackluster G.P.A.

Working as a legal assistant since October '05.

Dean's List final two semesters at PC.

Additional info & updates

I took the LSAT for the first time during my Senior year at PC and got a 147. I didn't really prepare all that much because I didn't know if Law School was what I wanted.

After working at a firm, I realized this WAS what I wanted. I decided to take a Kaplan course, which didn't seem to help at all, and I pulled a 146. I was then shutout by Touro, Hofstra, CUNY Queens, and St. John's for admission in Fall '06.

I then digested two PowerScore books (Games and Logical Reasoning) and shocked even myself with a 161. Now the tables have turned as you can see for yourself.

4/20...I just found out the St. John's is providing me with 10k per year. They initially didn't provide me with an offer, so I decided to write a letter to the Asst. Dean of Admissions. I included my two offers from Hofstra and Touro, and he responded rather quickly. I recommend not 'settling' for the first offer....many schools have the money to burn.

I received the scholarship with my acceptance. In talking with the admissions people this is the only time scholarships are offered. The only thing I can think of is that I had my stuff in much earlier than you.

Does this mean that I will be seeing you at St. Johns next year?

Will you be attending St. John's. I actually met Dean Harrison while visiting the school (he gave me a personal tour) and he was awesome. congrats on the scholarship - persistence obviously pays off!
