Hi All! I am just starting the entire process. Getting ready to take the LSAT on June 12th, my last practice score was a 154...not sure where I will end up. In about a month we are driving cross country to visit 28 some law schools that I am interested in...then the application process starts. Any advice or insight anyone can provide I am open. Thanks!!!! Jenn

Hey, I am applying to NC Central, UNC, Wake, and Campbell as well. We have similar index numbers, so I will be watching to see what happens with you. I just retook the LSAT in Sept, and am hoping for a good bump from that. It looks like your work experience will give you a good edge, so good luck. Wake is a great school and job prospects our probably second only to Duke in NC. Carolina is also great in that department, but there are more graduates, and most want to stay in the Triangle of NC, making this a competitive market. Central is by far the best bargain in the country, and is respected within the state. Why the interest in so many NC schools?

Best of luck this cycle, you should have some acceptances in the mail by January!

yeah i didnt know that...my diagnostics i was doing around a 150...so i know i could prolly only get into tier 4 schools with that...plus i wanna stay local...but i might apply to more..i retook the lsats on the 30th so when i get my score back im going to see where i should go from there

I have visited Morgantown and WVU when I was an undergrad. The campus is nice, the tuition is reasonable, and they have a solid background in Arbitration/Mediation. They have graduated lawyers who clerk for some of the big judges and top law firms. Even though they are 4th tier, I feel they have a strong/under rated program. Thanks on the FCSL and NCCU heads up. I might just send them an app. Once again, best of luck this cycle.

It was nice to see some encouragement from you. I wish you the best of luck in this years cycle. Your profile looks sharp and you should hear back from schools early in the process. Personally, I think you have you will gain acceptance to the majority of the schools to which you applied. Hopefully I can raise my LSAT a little so I can feel a little more confident towards acceptance. Best of luck!

Hi there. In response to your post, I went to school at CU-Denver...I needed to find a place where I caould still work full-time. Shoot me an email, and we'll talk

hey... noticing u applied to some of the same schools i have applied to.. any thoughts?? i am interested in sport/health and if u have visited any, suggestions would be appreciated!!! thanks, and good luck this cycle!!!!

hey, congrats on 2 acceptances! WOW! im jealous!!! ur lucky.. i go to school in ottawa! i would rather be in a big city, with connections for job prospects.. also, i would like to live in east/west coast.. not too sure! they both seem like fun! haha.. i am thinking hard about FloCo.. just because of the intense sport law program.. although, i dont not want to get my hopes up until anything comes in.. i also was thinking about applying to denver (apparantly they have nice ski hills!) but, i didnt.. maybe i will tho.. lol

They sent me a little white envelope and it said something about a prompt admissions decision.. they set up some new thing this year where some people don't have to interview....no idea how that happened to me...lol but good luck with your schools!!

They sent me a letter in the mail. I was surprised that it came so early. Well, good luck, sweets.

Looks like you really hit all the marks with your apps. 2 in the bag so far! Best of luck to you, I know you'll end up in a great situation when it's all said and done.

Congratulations. I saw a few other acceptances from them on here within a few days of each other, so that's nice they're working again. Good luck on the rest. And if you get a spot from UMKC, you may gladly give it to me if I don't get in. Thanks in advance.

think you are? My profile makes you laugh? That's some really touching, personal stuff, and you mock me. I see. Anyway, do you have a preferred school? I went to Tulsa for the first time the other day (not the school, just the city) and it seems pretty decent. I guess I'll just have to start traveling a lot to help make decisions. Wait, I need an ACCEPTANCE first. And by the way, a new ABA ruling just handed down (01-21-07--they work on Sundays) states that law school acceptances are like car warranties--transferrable. Anyway, rock on.

I haven't heard anything from Denver really. I sent them an email because I still hadn't heard if I was complete and they responded by saying I WAS complete but it would be a couple more weeks before I received by decision. I am from Colorado so...I like that one. What about you?

UMKC. I think I mentioned it, but it's kind of a personal vendetta now. I interviewed there last year (it went really well) but was turned down for horseshit reasons. Plus, I love the area, and it's central to my family. Probably next would be Tulsa and Washburn. As for keeping it interesting, the idiocy just flows freely. Maybe lithium or something could squash that, but if I make at least myself chuckle, that's ok. If not, I'll just go arrest somebody for giggles. I'm all about violating civil rights, and I hope to study at a school that facilitates human and civil rights violations. Rock on.

will do.

Yeah I suspect so. I think the email I received from them was on last Wednesday and they told me to give them 2-3 weeks and I would have my decision so I am thinking probably by the end of the first week in February. That is when I am expecting to have a few more of my other schools too! I would love to have all my answers by the end of Feb...not sure if that is realistic though. I want to have a decision made and start looking for a place to live! It is so EXCITING! Good luck to you. Are you from Colorado. I can't get to your profile on here so I didn't know.

One more down with KC. I hate you, by the way. I'm getting more and more nervous. Apparently, it didn't take the projected 90 days, huh?

It was a letter...to my parents house. I am not much interested in the part-time programs I feel like I have some great opportunities with the full time programs at other schools and would rather go with them than go part-time...so...but thanks for the advice...god knows we all need that during this process.

Congrats on KC, and more importantly, I despise you. Well, mainly because of the waiting. If I get accepted, I will officially retract my letter of hatred, but for now it stands. ARRGGHHH!!!

i am from CO, went to N. CO. i would be content at every school i applied to. if it doesn't work out, there's always my current job (banker) and next year. i'm hoping they will do what they advertise and look my applications as a whole. good luck to you.

I read a post on another person's page and I think you said you visited Grundy Va. I'd like to know more about it. Can you email me or post to my page?

You just saved me a week and a whole lot of money. I have been looking at the photos of Grudy, etc and thinking it could be a very refreshing three year retreat. I'm an older (much older) applicant and have had a 30 year career running on a hamster wheel... So Grundy is appealing. IF they gave me money; your comment really tells a lot. If they were to offer a full ride (highly unlikely) I think I'd have to go see for myself. Right now SIU is my first choice but if UALR and/or Ole Miss come through with acceptance I will definitely consider those. Most likely UALR because it is a state capital and I;m interested in health policy issues. Its all still up in the air. Thanks for taking the time to write. BEST OF LUCK in your decisions too.

Your generous information about these schools is greatly appreciated. I'll take whatever you have. UALR was fairly high on my list - but my first love is Ole Miss. I spoke with them early on and they were rather discouraging until I told them I was an "oldie" then they warmed up. They really like to accept MS residents. If I get in there it will be very hard to not go. I also like SIU and it is still a contender. Now that Appalachian has offered me a full tuition scholarship I feel like I really do need to consider it. Seeing that I am in the autumn of my worklife years I am not seeking a school that will offer me a shot at the big time. In fact, my hope is to be able to practice as a "generalist" in a small community. That is why Appalachian is attractive. I've been running on a hamster wheel for the past thirty years. Hard decisions. Any and all opinions are welcome. Good luck and congrats on your success so far.

There's plenty to do in KC. I haven't gone there a lot, so just ask around. Topeka, I'm not sure but I think you might like the town. It seemed really clean to me, and I was impressed with how friendly the staff was. Let me know how it goes. I should be hearing from KC this week, so we'll see.

IU-Indy is my #1 choice, unless I get accepted to either DU or ASU. I actually live in Phoenix right now, so ASU would more than likely slip into the lead. However, I don't have a great chance at either of those schools. Is it Washburn for you then?

Washburn is closer to the bottom of my list. I don't think I am going to the admitted student day. Are you?

We have nearly identical numbers. What schools are at the top of your list right now?

I really have no idea right now. I wish all of the schools I applied to would hurry up and let me know. I feel like rest of my life is in limbo right now. Hopefully I will know within the next month, at least that's what I'm telling myself.

#1) Your email answers come with light speed--JK:). #2) How were your visits? You will tell me. Oh yes, you will tell me.

I'm pretty convinced it'll be WU, although I'm visiting Tulsa and OCU. They'll be incredibly more expensive, so cost and atmosphere are big bonuses at Washburn. I'm about 90% sure about that. My wife and I are visiting on the 27th. Good luck with your decision and keep me posted.

Michigan State looks like it will be home to me for the next 3 years. I really like the area and although it costs more than the others I think the benefits will outweigh the finances. I seriously considered Washburn, it is a good school in a capital city with a decent price, although my whole plan was to get out of Kansas and see other parts of the country.

on Wyoming. They've taken forever on my app. How did you hear?

I didn't visit WU this weekend. I was supposed to visit Tulsa, but I cancelled. I'd really like to go there, but it's likely not happening. I sent my seat deposit to Washburn, but thankfully it was only $100, and they don't require any more until semester starts. I'm visiting OCU on Thursday and Friday, but unless something REALLY magical happens, it'll be Washburn for Daddy. You any closer to solving your Washburn / UMKC / Other School conundrum? You know, you're supposed to keep me updated on all the exciting new happenings.

Did you already visit UMKC? I was there 2 weeks ago and really liked it. Did you already turn in a deposit?

I, too, turned in my deposit for UMKC. All signs point to me going there unless Miami takes me off the waitlist. Then I would have to consider their offer. Hope all

I noticed you withdrew from Wyoming, why is this? I am still awaiting a reply (which has taken FOREVER), but have similar numbers as yourself and am still considering going there is they accept me

Curious, any contact from UNLV?

My ultimate goal would be to practice law in Colorado and I felt that by attending Wyoming would give me a better opportunity to reach that goal. I was rejected by both Denver U and CU so I figred Wyoming was the next best shot. Washburn is looking like a good option right now, but still waiting back on their scholarship offer. Where do you want to practice?

I'm not going until next weekend to visit (again), but I"m excited since it's been three years since I've been there. Five years ago, I would have laughed if you told me I would be getting excited about Topeka, KS (ha ha). You are gonna get SO sick of me and a few other stupid friends that are going there. Muhahaha. Email me and let me know what you think so far, if anything.

Did you check the box that said you would be willing to take part-time? We have similar numbers and they said my letter will be out this week. Best!

Best of luck, that was helpful!

Shoot your email address to mine (above). Missed speaking with you at the BBQ.

Hey, did you get accepted at Campbell outright or to the PBAP program? The reason I want to know is because we have similar LSAT numbers. Thanks.
