***********************
3/30-File has been under review since 3/19...don't know if it's a good thing or not...

I am curious if I will get in anywhere else...No news is good news I suppose.

***********************
4/1

Cal Western letter came in standard white envelope

Also received an e-mail today that U. of Oregon is currently reviewing my application.
***********************
4/2

Sent out notices that some correspondence from law schools is not reaching my PO box...WTF? So hopefully I haven't missed anything too important.

UCD application still "Evaluation in progress"...what could this mean? I also updated UCD to my Winter quarter grades (A, A, A+)...and the school responded by saying they were adding this information to my file...hope it helps.

********************
4/6

UCD-Saw that my file was (re) updated on Monday 4/4...still "Evaluation in Progress"...I'm freaking out over here...maybe there's still hope...this is my dream school...no news is still good news I suppose.

********************
4/7

WL at Willamette...not sure what to think about this...standard white envelope...

Can anyone tell me what they think might be going on at UCD???

Santa Clara e-mailed to say they've got a buttload of applications and will get to me ASAP with a decision...

****************************
4/11

Business sized envelope from L&C...deferred...will possibly (re) evaluate in late April/early May depending on"available seats"...is there really a chance? We'll see.

Still hope for UCD, but I think it will probably be waitlist...maybe prayer will help.

**************************
4/11

So much for prayer...UCD rejection came via their website...

Whittier acceptance today...whatever consolation that provides.

Attended preview day at Gonzaga...seems like a nice place to go to school...though Spokane was kinda depressing in parts. Absolutely fell in love with Oregon!!!! Any Oregon school is at the top of the list!!!!!

I think I'd move to Oregon over S.F. if I had my rathers.

**************************
4/19

Both dings yesterday came in the standard white envelopes...

Ding from Iowa was no great surprise..so much for their anti "numbers only approach"...that's crap.

Ding from UNLV was more of a surprise...oh well, didn't really want to go to Vegas anyway...tuition woulda been nice though.

Still clinging to hope for Oregon schools and/or Bay Area schools.

******************************
4/21

U. of Oregon ding came in standard white envelope...oh well...maybe L&C will look favorably upon me...

Any ideas if I should send any supplemental info. to L&C???

*******************************
4/22

LEWIS AND CLARK!!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!

I decided to send an e-mail to the admissions office talking about how appreciative I was for their consideration and how I would live and work in Oregon if admitted...

Phone call came this afternoon telling me I was admitted...letter will follow.

**********************************
4/23

WL'd at Chapman...will express my continued interest.

Will withdraw from Gonzaga, Cal Western, and Whittier on Monday.

Hopefully will hear from U of P and Bay Area schools this next week.

******************************
4/24

Okay so it's pretty much going to be L&C unless I get a phat offer from a Bay Area school or UOP...Oregon was just too beautiful, and Portland is dope. Also, L&C has virtually zero academic attrition, which sets my mind at ease.

We'll wait and see what happens this week.

******************************
4/29

Rejection from UOP came as a bit of a surprise...oh well, screw them, I don't want to attend your so-so school any damn way...I'd rather go to school in Oregon, pay less rent, and pay less for school.

Probably not looking good for any Bay Area schools at this point either...oh well. Not trippin'.

**************************************
4/29

Right after posting this stuff about UOP, I received an e-mail from USF telling me of my acceptance. w00t!!!!!!!! Now it becomes a more difficult decision between USF and L&C...more investigating follows...

**************************************
5/1
Allright...I will know by the end of this week what the deal is as to where I will attend. I really want to go to L&C, but I have some personal circumstances where it might benefit me to stay in Cali...it's a really tough decision...

Don't trip, I'll be sure to recommend one of you to take my spot should I withdraw from USF...

Hey, maybe I WILL get into Hastings...I won't hold my breath though...doubtful at best right now IMO.

***********************************
5/4

Profile updated for all you whiners...

Better now?

Thanks and Good Luck to you, too! I did my undergrad at UC Riverside.

Congrats in advance on your acceptances.

Thanks for the support. I believe things will work out for you. As far as representing the purple and black, it's getting kind of hard these days with them losing to the Warriors and all :( but I can't give up on my boys.

Re: Question
Monday, August 22 2005 at 08:00 PM

I do not know the difference between waitlist and deferral...I just figured that because it didn't say "waitlist" that it was something else. I just got back from Oregon/Washington and I really fell in love with Oregon. Though I would prefer to stay in Cali, I would be ecstatic to get into L&C..However, if I get into U of O, USF(Special Admissions), or Hastings(via LEOP), or U of P, I will gladly remove myself from consideration at L&C (assuming I'm lucky/fortunate enough to get accepted). The Michigan decision really had nothing to do with my decision to apply to more "Universities." These were mostly my reach schools, plus I thought I might stand a better chance by applying to schools outside of California. I too am wondering if I would have stood a better chance of getting in if I applied earlier.It was kind of unavoidable, because one of my letter writers took forever in submitting his letter. Also, I actually took the December LSAT, but cancelled my score immediately after I learned my files would not have been complete until mid-March. Figured I should just go with what I had. Good luck to you, and let me know what happens for you, especially at L&C...who knows, maybe we'll see each other there.

Congrats

I just got an email yesterday too from USF. Do you think they might offer any money this late in the game? Congrats, and i'm sure you'll make a good decision. Right now, mine is between Santa Clara and San Fran. if they give me dough.
