Great job!! I suspect my lsdas gpa to be = to yours after they're done with it. If you have a sec will you please share how you prepped for the LSAT...I am a philos minor and need a beam of hope...thx

for the consoling words. Good Luck with your apps!

i have slightly lower numbers, although statistically lsac says we are in the same "band" (girl, please, your lsat kicks my lsat to the curb and i know it). anyway, good luck to a fellow splitter.

thx for your message - "number twin powers" took me waaaay back and made me laugh! back to the wait-check-the-mailbox-wait-some-more schedule i am on. :D

how did you do so well? any prep classes? how long did you prepare for it?

i can't wait to see how you fare this cycle too...

Good luck with everything. I live in Charlottesville and my brother goes to UVA as well. I hope everything works out well for you.

Emory e-mailed me that my app was complete and that I was under consideration for their Woodruff scholarship. They don't start reviewing any apps until January, so I am sure they are swamped right now! Best of luck!

For the congrats! I hope things work out well for you, too. Fingers crossed,

Congrats on Illinois. So far, so good, eh?

My boyfriend and I are applying to law schools together, so I have no idea where we will be going and am trying to keep all of my options open. Thank you for the well wishes!

yes, Miami is tempting. We'll see what the $$ offer looks like. So far, I think Illinois is the forerunner, though I don't know if I want to be in the midwest forever. tough to choose. I hope another school in Virginia comes through ...

goooooo emory! goooooo emory! hope you are surviving the waiting ok, and still hoping that your good luck leads to mine (and vice versa)...

for every school that hasn't yet said a final "no, thank you", AND fighting the good fight (for money) from the schools who have already accepted me too! i have not even thought about eliminating schools from my list for any reason, not for location or cost or student satisfaction surveys, so the way i am looking at it, it ain't over, and nothing is off the table. i am not the one to ask about waitlist advice, but if you can think of anything substantive to add to your application, that you didn't feel you had room for before, this would be a good time to do it. if you want to have an offline convo about it, feel free to email me. wishing you the best of luck!

Illinois is a great school. We both could do a lot worse.

I'm planning to attend the March 3rd open house. I'll buy the first round at the splitters-drown-their-sorrows pub crawl.

Hey - Are you planning on going to either of the W&L open houses? Curious if I could snag a buddy for the commute from NYC - let me know!

If you contact me via email, I'll send you my thoughts on the Illinois open house. Can't say they're profound, though.

hiya! i am assuming that chicago notified via snail mail, since i heard from the person checking my mail and not through my email acct. am a little disappointed in all the waitlists even though i did expect it...still i suppose i was hoping for more concrete decisions...that were REJECTS. :D hey, nice wl on michigan!

To be honest, its either going to be a T14 or UT or maaaybe Vandy. I live in Texas, have a bunch of family in Texas, so it just makes sense to go there. Good Luck

I will be at W & L on the 25th. See you there.

that makes a lot of sense...In that case, you can't go wrong with fordham at all....I'm actually not heading to W&L for the admitted students weekend. Have fun and let me know how it goes :)

Congrats on Fordham. That'd be a hard one to turn down. Did you follow up with Michigan or UVa?

They're a pain, no? I think we've pretty much decided to stay in Texas. We don't really want to deal with moving, I've got contacts here, my husband's job is going well... inertia wins again!

I know - the $ threw me for a loop! I really have to consider Wisc if they're offering me money and I'm out of state. I liked Madison a lot when I visited. grr i cant choose. help me .

Congratulations on all of your acceptances. I would request, however, that you withdraw from any schools which you do not plan to attend. I am currently on the waiting list at William and Mary, and I would be very grateful if you withdrew if you do not plan to attend. Thanks, and I wish you luck in all of your future endeavors. You've been accepted to some great schools.

I'm pretty sure I will be attending Fordham PT, but may change my mind and go w/ W&L. Thus, I wont w/d from either of those any time soon. However, I will w/d from most of the others likely next week. I do plan to keep at least some of my waitlists open though, and that may include W&M (I got a soft spot for that place). We'll see some shakedown next month as deposits come due. Till then, patience, please, we are all under a lot of pressure right now and I dont think schools will move on their waitlists till after 1st deposit date anyway.

I really enjoyed W & L when I visited, enough that if i somehow get off the waitlist at Mich or UVA I will still strongly consider it. But then again, i went to a small private school in NC, so i am used to the whole small town southern vibe. If u thought the town was too small and quite, W & L probably isn't the place for you. Otherwise, i would go go there.

Yes, I was in Lexington on 3-25 and it was great fun. I really enjoyed interacting with the prospective and current students. Did we meet? I was the only black male among the admitted students. Perhaps this might help you to identify me if we crossed paths. I sent in my deposit on 4-3 and it felt great. My problem now is that I have to decide on a full-tuition fellowship offer from IU-Bloomington by Saturday. I change my mind on these two schools several times a day. Money aside, I would stick with W&L, but that decision would cost at least 45K more for me before interest. Any thoughts? I have a close friend from the Fordham class of '05 and I loved the school and the Lincoln Center location. I wasn't offered any scholarships or need based aid and I am too old to take on 160k of debt. Wisonsin was also very high on my list from the beginning of the process because of the political atmosphere and the law-in-action approach to legal scholarship. What made you decide to apply to Fordham pt. Would this program allow you to keep your current job? Please keep me posted and feel free to weigh in on my upcoming decision.

I was at the party on Saturday night. I spent most of my time inside the house and on the back porch. I also left earlier than most since I was out late on Friday night with current W&L students. I took your advice and called W&L to see if there was anything they could do. I thought I would hear from them today and I am still waiting for a decision. After some number crunching, it looks like I am headed to IU unless something comes in from W&L.

congrats on uva...did you do anything special?

Hooray for being plucked off the waitlist by Virginia! So awesome. I'm thrilled that your cycle is turning out for you. UVA is in such a beautiful place, too: I can't imagine anyone not having a great time there.
