If I was from New Orleans, I'd gladly tell people. The problem is that I'm from Cleveland, Ohio (a fact that not even I can deny now that I live there again). I'm still waiting to hear from Columbia before I make up my mind about where I'm going to go. Sorry about the three up there so far, but I'll keep crossing my fingers and I'm sure it will get better :-)

Sorry - Already replied but accidenatlly included my email address and had to delete. Good luck to you, too. Wish we were in in a different boat. I think our PSs intersect on a few points - understandable given the similar WE. I thought FPLC would look past the numbers for my WE, but apparently not. This was my second time applying there, too. I think you've got a good shot with your LSAT, though.

I hear that. Going riding this weekend in Upstate NY. My only criteria is that the school have a library, though. You've got that eco-background working for you for VT. I hear they're it for Envirolaw, but you're stuck in VT for a while. At least you've got the slopes. I'm really more about the IP/media/entrtmt. I love what I'm doing now, just want to be a lawyer doing it. If this doesn't work out I'll prob go back to promoting concerts. This is my 2nd round, and I had had enough after the first.

I guess you're right about LA, but there's plenty of ent. law in NY. More music than movies. I feel the same way about being entitled. Have you ever looked into apprenticeship programs? Not many do it because it ties you to your employer, but it does exist. In general, I don't think adcomms place enough value on substantive experience. Put either one of us up against a Yale grad in a CivPro class and I think we'd kick ass.

post on my page again so that I can just click the link to see how you're doing.

thanks for posting; makes it much easier. as far as me moving to ny, unless I hate (and I mean HATE) harvard, it's probably not going to happen until after law school.

OK, fine. You know you're going to have to re-read One L now, right?

That book scared me enough the first time; I don't need to read it again!

I didn't really like RWU, it was hi-tech looking that's for sure. But it's also a 4th tier law school. Both the hall and RU are superior in their reputation and academic rigor. However, RWU does have itself set up pretty nicely being the only law school in Rhode Island. They also have a lock on supreme court clerkships in that state. All and all the campus is nice, the law school is pretty much on the main campus. Bristol is nicer than Newark, yes, but I would go to RU or the hall in a heartbeat before I went to RWU. I've heard many, many, many people say they will not hire from that school. Dissapointing to hear, yes, but a harsh reality outside of Rhode Island.

apply to university of district of columbia, it is aba accred and deadline was pushed back to april 15th. i live in millburn. good luck

I visited RWU and was pleasantly surprised. I got my waitlist letter a few weeks back and have yet to hear from Widener in DE. We\\\'ve got similar numbers (and results so far).
