kev199 (2022-2023)

7/16/08: After a very long and tough process, I've decided on W&L. The scholarship was too much to pass up and works well with my wish to practice in D.C.

7/09/08: Accepted at William and Mary! With Grad Fellowship!!

Also, Accepted at Wash U with scholarship!

7/08/08: Accepted at Notre Dame!!!! With a scholarship!!!!

7/03/08: New LSAT score, up to a 166. Time to go over my options and let my waitlists know the good news.

5/28/08: After a visit to BU, I've decided to make a deposit at Tulane. So, unless UVA lets me in off their WL, I will be attending TU this Fall. New Orleans is just better for me than Boston.

5/15/08: Persistence pays off. 10k per year renewable (on good academic standing) scholarship at BU. Hmm, we might have a winner.

4/23/08: In at Washington & Lee via email. Makes a tougher decision.

4/11/08: Rejected at Cornell. Took them long enough. Only Indiana hasn't gotten back to me.

4/7/08: Waitlisted at WashU. Not surprised, but I love WLs so much. In other news, I put down deposits at TU and BU today. More fun!

4/2/08: Priority Non-Resident Waitlist at Virginia. Time to schedule an interview.

3/21/08: Waitlisted at W&M. Kind of surprised, but not too much considering how late it is.

3/8/08: Deferred at W&L. More waiting...oh boy...

2/19/08: All quiet on the Southern front.

2/7/08: Accepted at BU via Phone call. Yeah!

2/4/08: Letter from GW asking if I want to be on their Waitlist. Sure, doesn't hurt to fill it out.

2/2/08: On the provisional Waitlist at Notre Dame. Better than a rejection I guess.

1/28/08: Hey UConn! Another option for my future.

1/18/08: Accepted by Tulane. Nice to know I'm loved.

1/17/08: Didn't make the early decision cut at GWU and got deferred to regular admission. 0/3-ish

1/15/08: Hey Northwestern, what no love? Oh well, 0/2.

1/4/08: Rejected by Georgetown. Expected but I gave it a shot.

12/15: Decided to Apply to Notre Dame after a few letters and a chat with some of their admissions folks over the phone.

11/29: I am complete at every school. Now I play the waiting game.

I'll break down my decision process:

Reach:
Cornell (R)
Georgetown (R)
Northwestern (R)
Virginia (WL)

Mid-Reach:
GWU (WL)
Wash U (WL, A 10k/year)
Notre Dame (WL, A 18k/year)

Middle:
BU (A, 10k/year)
W&M (WL, A 21,200k/year)
Wash Lee (Def, A 35k/year)

Safety:
Indiana (A, 20k/year)
Tulane (A, 25k/year)
UConn (A, No $)

I really don't have a favorite although I did do the early app. for GWU since it nets a full scholarship and there was no reason not to.
