Hey it was good to hear from you. Thank you for the congratulations and good luck as you continue forward with the cycle. Keep in contact! :D

I'm glad to have found a twin who sent their applications in earlier than I did! Gives me something to look forward to in the coming weeks. Do you have a first choice, or are you up in the air? Let's hope this turns out to be a bountiful cycle for the both of us :-)

Had to comment on your waking up in the middle of the night and applying to Maryland. I did the majority of my applications at 6:30 in the morning, hungover. Maybe we're all losing it. Good luck!! :-)

No I didn't go anywhere near the ethical dilemma question. Seemed incredibly risky. I bet it could help if you really had something to write about. W&L has a big emphasis on their honor code and ethical behaviors. If you do apply now, they don't wait long for a decision, so you might be able to write one if wait listed.

I loved Maine when I lived there, and now that I am living elsewhere, I REALLY love Maine :) I went to Scarborough High, graduated in '05. Hopefully we will hear back soon, I heard that the admissions dean said they usually start meeting the first Friday after Thanksgiving and they roll from there. Good luck with your cycle!

Yeah getting my first acceptance has definitely helped to calm my nerves. It feels like schools just feed off of our anxiety via their status checkers. Anyways, thanks for the kind words and I will definitely be following your cycle as it looks like we have applied to a few of the same schools...good luck!

My status checker for Denver never changed from ready for review, just got the emails this morning.

Hey! No - my status stayed complete from oct 15 until the day i was accepted. GL!!

Congrats! The school places really well in the state, I know I am going to be working there, so I think this ends my LS hunt; bust of luck to you!

Thanks for the kind words! They sent me an email this morning saying my status checker has been updated, I checked it, and it said I was denied. And congrats on UMaine!

And no, I was never "in review" or anything. Just went straight from complete to the decision.

congrats about maine...the first acceptance feels great!

yeah I know, I couldn't believe I started filling out my Iowa app at 2 am lol...these late nights studying for finals give me wayyy too many chances to start worrying and applying to more schools

I saw your comment on someone else's asking about northeastern - mine went straight from "Completed" to a "AccepteD" without any "in review". So if yours still doesn't say in review, it might not mean anything!

thats a scary thought! maybe our nerves would cancel each other out? lol

whoever accepts me becomes my favorite haha...i would say you should definitely apply to ohio because I am a current student at ohio state and I LOVE IT HERE!!! the only reason I am not applying here is because i would like to see what else the world has to offer but the time here has been unreal

I am borderline on doing one more app...I have my wake forest app ready but I emailed them and am holding out for a fee waiver...I really want to send it in lol

Feeling your pain in being passed up on that recent waive of acceptances. I see in your additional that you are 'under review' at American. Any chance you remember how long it took for you to go from complete to under review?

Good luck!!!!

We will both definitely end up at good schools that are right for us. Don't doubt it! I don't have a number 1 at the moment, but acceptances at UConn, Northeastern, and U San Fran and San Diego would be great. Any early favorites for you?

I applied to Wake today because its snowing so much here lol

its been sooo quiet lately from law schools...i really want to hear from one before the holidays (hopefully an awesome christmas present! lol)

Thanks again! Yes, my status checker changed to 'decision made' (or something similar) on 12/21. Under mailings it also said decision mailed. Since I'm local I got it the next day. I had been in review since 11/16. Good luck!!!

I can't believe we were both rejected at Northeastern today, especially you! If you really want a Boston option, why don't you apply to Suffolk? I think you might some money, and you could always transfer out after 1L if you were so inclined. Either way I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Wow! I am surprised with your numbers and inclination towards public interest you were rejected from Northeastern! It is one of my top choices and the waiting is killing me. None the less, you seem like you have a lot going for you so I'm sure you'll get some good offers in the next few months!

checking up on you. WOW I am surprised at northeastern as well! Don't get discouraged, I think you've got a good shot at a number of the other schools you're applying to. You could always petition for fee waivers if you want to expand your options as well. Good luck!!

Hey hows it going over here? When did you hear back from colorado? I am sure you will get off one of these waitlists

Thanks, actually I was pretty stoked on the waitlist at Wisconsin. With my numbers I was expecting a flat out rejection. At least this means theres still hope. I'm really waiting on my Denver decision; if I don't get into Utah or somewhere higher its probably my next choice. How about you?

sooooooooooooooo manyyyyyyyyyyyyyy waitlistsssssssssssssssssssssss :( this is getting freaking ridiculous! Sorry about American, did you write a why American essay? If not I would definitely write to them explaining why you want to go and I think you will be fine.

yeah i was trying to plan this trip to visit schools in nyc, dc, and then w&l...my plan was to fly to nyc, take a train to dc, and then find out that there is NO WAY TO GET TO LEXINGTON! No train, no bus, and no airport within 1.5 hrs driving away :/ I may just have to do that phone interview with them

Thanks. It was by mail.

joined u on their waitlist...this is getting old though I guess with all these waitlists we are bound to get in off of one of these!

Nothing weird. I totally over prepared for the 1/2 hour with Brett Twitty. The guy is awesome. Really personable. He started by asking if I had any questions about the school, then asked why law? Says he gets a totally different answer from everyone who answers the question. It's not that I don't think W&L is a great school (it is), I just think that I am in a totally different place than 95% of the class. I'm married with young children and most of the students are right out of undergrad and still behaving as such. Nothing wrong with that, just not my cup of tea. In a really small town like Lexington, if that's the only game in town, it could be a rough three years for an old guy like me. Good luck to you! Email me if you want specifics...

Nope. My email confirmation for my visit just said that I would meet with one of the admissions personnel. I guess that meant him, since the other Girl and I both met with him for about a half hour, one after the other. Best of luck!

I can't believe you got rejected by Northeastern with your great scores. This site is ruining my morale ! Seeing everyone with much higher scores than me getting rejected is BRUTAL. At least you have some options and scholarships. I'm still chilling in REJECTLAND. hahaha. Best to you!

hey i havent been on here in awhile so I get to update even more waitlists! Also, congrats about OSU!!! I go there for undergrad and absolutely love it

Great idea about visiting W&L, I think that really helped my application. Good luck!

im not really sure if i am any closer to figuring out where i want to go...i interviewed with w&l but really really really want to go to gw. i guess if i had to decide right now i would say american? blah i cant decide lol

Congrats and you shouldn't worry what other ppl say because that is awesome...buttttt since your not going you should put in a good word for me lol. Are you going to go visit W&L?

Just read your post again and saw that you did visit...what did you think? I thought my interview went well but I told Twitty that I would need to see the school before I could ever decide

I would say let the admissions office know that it is your first choice and that you would love to go there. I think they are looking for people who really want to go, not just those who applied because it was free. Good luck!

Looks like I am finally going to visit W&L in 2 weeks...so excited!

Every time I speak with someone or read a little bit more about W&L it shoots up my list. I am at the point where if I got offered a spot off the waitlist that I would go lol I am hoping that going there to visit will just solidify those feelings

add 2 more waitlists to bring my grand total to 12...12?!?! are you freaking kidding me?? lol i better get off at least some of these

yeah I can't believe we are getting down to that time to decide. I guess as of right now I will be going to American University but praying everyday I get in off one of these waitlists...sorry about W&M but I guess not liking it makes it easier lol good luck deciding where to go and keep me informed!

emory-waitlist, sarcastic shock

Hey where r u thinking of depositing? Looks like for me its American + waiting on the GW waitlist

I actually really liked W&L, the campus and town were just beautiful and I am really pulling for you to get in there! However I fell in love with DC so I decided I want to study and work there.

GW in a heartbeat but that is probably the only school I would go to over American. I am about to send them my 2nd letter of continued interest and I have visited so I am trying to do whatever I can to get in lol

At the time, they were my first choice, and I told them so after a phone interview (I think it was the week before they did the re-waitlisting/denials for waitlisted applicants). Then they accepted me a few weeks later when I sent an updated LOCI about a publishing credit I received. However, after realizing how expensive it was at sticker, I decided to look elsewhere. Good luck with your decision!! I really hope you get in!

Hey did you follow up on that WL email from W&L? Have u put ur deposit down anywhere? I put mine down at American while praying for GW. Even though I got that new offer from Kent I just could not see myself in Chicago

Going to Minnesota...got in off the wait list today!!

Thanks! I am really excited now it is your turn to get some wait list love from these schools!!

Hey Lala...thanks for the congrats about W&L...I respectfully declined the seat...so hopefully you get it! I let them know the next day that I was committed to Maryland. I'm a Maryland resident, so I could not resist. Let me know how it goes...you have very solid numbers!

Good luck with the Waitlist! I'm riding out a few waitlists too so I know how you feel. The University of Utah is a very good law school. I think you'll be happy at either institution.

I got in to GW today!! but I won't be able to go because of the cost :( Im pretty sad

I am going to wait for their official admissions package to come in to decide. I mean if they match it that may swing my vote but if there is no money I am guessing I will be up north :/ Any word from W&L yet? I think you will really enjoy Utah tho its beautiful there

1) ur comment about finding out about GW on TLS was only slightly stalkerish haha 2) u sound like u have some personal experience about those kind of relationships

hahaha...i dont think i can really respond to that ps-i agree tho with what you said, i check ur lsn page everytime i check my own because im intrigued with where u end up!

u will be the first to know, well on here at least lol

LOLI well I had a lot of chances I guess with all the wait lists I was on

also, I hear colorado and their law school are beautiful but they did not offer me enough $$ to overcome UMN and my undying love of GW haha
