My application and statement focused on the following: socioeconomically disadvantaged background, abusive and neglectful family life which forced me to leave school in mid-senior year, first in family to attend college, multiple disabilities of my own overcome, returning student with family (husband and son also suffer from unrelated disabilities), several years work experience, and significant rise in GPA from when first attended college 11 years ago.

Sent: date sent application--electronically or by snail mail
Decision: date received letter or phone call

Additional info & updates

As I am seeking a joint degree, everything depends on which schools accept me for both legal and graduate studies. (Of course, scholarship money doesn't hurt!)

Lewis and Clark: 12,000/yr
Indiana: 8,000/yr
Western New England: full tuition
NIU: full tuition
DePaul: 12,000/yr
Capital: 18, 000/yr
Temple: 7,500/yr

Notified of acceptance and scholarships by phone for DePaul, WNE, and L&C, followed by large white envelopes for all. Indiana decision and scholarship arrived together in a small white envelope. Capital notified me of the decision and scholarship by mail; look for a large white envelope. Northern Illinois called to notify me of their admit decision, followed by a large white envelope. NIU scholarship offer arrived separately, in a large white envelope, several days later. (02/22) Temple decision arrived in large white envelope; scholarship offer arrived a couple of weeks later (03/02) in a small white envelope.

I just received notification (2/14) that I have been accepted into graduate programs at Indiana and University of Texas Austin. Decisions, decisions!

All rejections arrived in small white (scary) envelopes.

Joint degree

Thanks, LordofLight! I am seeking a joint degree in Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations (MA); I still haven't heard from UW grad yet, though. Good luck on getting in! Are you planning to continue to doctoral study later?

This craziness we all endure...

Hey, sorry about your UW rejection. I confess that it's a little selfish since my sorrow is a little bit based in the fact that I fear my fate will be the same as your given our similar index score. Good luck in Austin, I think that would be an awesome opportunity.

Thanks! I just love your name; aren't we all? Good luck with UW! You probably have a better chance than I did, since you are a WA resident. Check out daddylawbux, though. How did he get in, I wonder....

I shall probably have my father in tow. We don't look too much alike, aside form our need for glasses.

Aside *from*. [Sigh] I just remembered that I found a typoe in my SU application after I had sent it.

Yeah, unfortunately, I noticed that I made a classic typo on my Chicago application--too late to do anything about it! Ah, well....
