the typos in that previous post. Good luck on all of your applications this cycle.
Yeah. I am going to one of their "Intro to Law School" events. Good luck to you as well. May we both "win"?
don't u hate these LSAT #s we have same background: gpa/lsat:148/lot of extra curricular...but the damn LSATs i applied to 17 schools...in january...ur lucky u applied early u know the adage"the early bird gets the worm"...stay encouraged!and congrats on cooley
Are you going to be going to Cooley? If so let me know...Paul
I'm headed up there tomorrow and taking a tour on Friday. A friend that attends says the exams (no outlines, for one) prepare the Cooley students well for the bar. Glad you had a positive visit. I expect the same. Good luck in May...I will (probably) be following in Sept.
i've applied to 16other schools i just don't have the patience that everyone else on here has to sit and type all the schools..i'm impatient enuff just waiting 4 responses...but howard is my 1st choice...u should ask schools about conditional programs...like temple(has one called SPACE)newark (minority student program) st.john's conditional summer program...and contact students in the national latino student association 4 the respective schools...they can give advice...i've had a mentor from howard law that i met 2 yrs ago...hopefully it helps...STAY SMILING
UDM e-mailed me a congrats at first, and gave me a number to call. After calling the number they told me of my acceptance. A packet was sent in the mail about a week later.. good luck
I felt the same way. I really needed some good news and when I got home to see that email, I hoped it was the good news I wanted to hear!! It was...you're admitted! LOL. I was very happy. I think the school has some great programs and I'm really interested in a few of their clinics. They really seem to be involved with their community. I need to visit though because from what I hear from several people, Detroit isn't the best place. So, I have to see for myself. I'm from NYC so I'm pretty sure I can adapt to some things...except maybe the weather...LOL. How about you? What have you heard or what do you think about it?
Great information. I appreciate it. Yeah, I wonder how you'll do in Michigan...that would be a site. LOL. But, when I spoke to someone at Cooley, they said they had a lot of students from warm climates and they're adapting. I guess you have to do what ya have to do. So, I'm sure you'll be fine. Just invest in a nice goose down coat. It will really save you. LOL As for the area, again, that's good to know. I did a little research on apartments but I just didn't know the areas to look in, so now I can look again with what you've given me. As for the school itself, they do seem pretty friendly and on point. I had participated in their financial aid online chat once and they're very responsive to emails and calls. So, I hope that the professors and students are as approachable. I just have to decide when to visit...Have you sent in your deposit yet or are you still contemplating between Cooley and UDM? Yes, who knows, we just may see each other at orientation! :-)
Sorry it has taken me a while to respond... I think I am leaning towards UDM over my other choices. UDM is a great school in Detroit and it has a lot of prestige amongst lawyers in the downtown area. The school also seems to put students first and give their students great opps and clinics to learn real life law. The only complaint that I have is the condition of the school. It is very old and in need of repair, not typical of a private school Also, its in Detroit, but a nice area at least. There are links online for apts in the area, there are plenty. If you have any further questions email me and I will answer further...
It's been a while since I stopped by. Congratulations on UDM. Much success in school and in your career.
Thanks for your reply. I didn't accept it because I'm still waiting to hear from 12 other schools. I don't know why it's taking so long. But anyhow, the deadline for me to accept, well for them to receive my deposit is May 12, so I'm hoping to buy some time. Otherwise, I will definitely be accepting and attending the SSP this summer. Thanks for letting me about Robin. I'm looking for a place myself if I do decide to go there. I'm from NYC so it will be a big change for me. From the looks of it, I am about 98% sure I will be going... unless a miracle happens and the other 12 schools take me. Maybe I'll see you there? Congrats, you must be excited! If you have any other information or know of anyone else that participated or will participate, can you please let me know? I called UDM and they said about 1/3 pass and if you pass, you're in.. so hopefully it won't be that difficult to pass. Thanks again!
I saw that left ang2383 a message regarding UDM's Special Summer Program. Do you know if Robin has any advice regarding the SSP? If so could you find out how difficult the program and what are the odds of receiving admission for the fall through the program?
I dont know if my last message posted but I have just been accepted at UDM adn would like to get your take on the school, I have only been able to gather stuff from the internet so anything you have heard about the school, would help out alot. THANX
Did you find a place to live in Detroit yet?
so it looks like i'm the last left on lsn to hear from santa clara...out of curiosity, what did your decision look like? (envelope size, etc) Also, if you remember, how long from the date of the letter did it take until you received it? I called last week and they said they should have sent them out by the end of last week. Thanks for your help!
yeah i went to the orientation this weekend. I was really impressed by the school. I also visited Ave Maria. Both schools seemed to have alot to offer. I think I am leaning towards UDM though. I would love to hear what you think of UDM shoot me an email if you get a chance
be in that 5% this application cycle. Did they say they have a cut off for the lowest they accept. I look at the stats for my stricter schools FSU and Mercer and found that they accepted at least 1 with my numbers last year. Why can't we be the ones they decide to pick with the low LSAT if everything else is positive?
