9/23/11
So, there is no way i'm going to Cooley!

10/21/11
Suffolk is expensive, but it's a good school. This school is really great on communicating with students. I have received more e-mails from Suffolk about webinars and scholarship opportunities than all the other 12 schools combined.

11/01/11
Florida Coastal is all about the $$$. I will not be attending.

12/01/11
Michigan State waitlisted me YAY!!!!!!! I am in love with MSU...GO SPARTANS!!!

12/07/11
John Marshall rejected me via email. My cousin graduated from there a year ago and still doesn't have a job.

12/12/11
I received my acceptance letter from Thomas Jefferson in a big white envelope. Another expensive school.

1/12/12
FIU decision rendered, letter sent in the mail via status checker

1/18/12
In at UDM Law Status checker read "Please call Admissions Counselor" she informed me everyone who got accepted status read this!!!!!

Also rejected at Temple via status checker.

1/19/12
Finally received my letter in the mail from FIU. I was waitlisted.

1/27/12
Waitlisted at Whittier via status checker.

2/1/12
Michigan State begins to re-review applicants on the waitlist.

2/2/12
Michigan State - application for direct admission has been denied, invited me to apply to MSU's Legal Education Opportunity (LEO) program.

2/9/12
Rejected from Southwestern via email!

2/15/12
USF status checker read decision mailed.

2/18/12
Received USF decision by mail and it was a waitlist.

3/2/12
JUST GOT ACCEPTED INTO MICHIGAN STATE LEO PROGRAM..........

5/10/12
Accepted into FIU part-time program off of the waitlist.

7/6/12
Officially accepted into MSU after enduring a rigorous LEO Program. If you do the LEO Program you are required to start as a part-time student. Hard work pays off!!!

7/16/12
Ultimately I chose FIU Law over MSU Law because of the tuition difference and the fact that FIU was the only good school to give me $$$.

5/22/13

I don't receive notifications from this website and law school will have you busy. As far as the MSU LEO Program, I would advise that you do it. Yes, it will be an intense 6 weeks, but it will allow you to see how law school is without investing alot of money while also allowing you the ability to still possibly get into MSU Law. I was accepted after the summer program, but did not go because it was cheaper for me to go to FIU Law. What you will learn is that most of it does not depend on what law school you attend, but who you make connections and network with along with interning. Good luck sorry it took so long to respond I know it is probably too late as it is May, but hopefully you decided to do the MSU LEO Program.

on Cooley Acceptance and $. Good luck!!!

Be brave Reach higher
Saturday, May 14 2011 at 08:00 PM

You might have a low lsat but you have a very high gpa! Reach higher!! Apply to some schools way out of your range. You may be surprised!! You are a URM and a boost will be given to you!! Be Greedy!! Good luck!

Thanks....
Monday, September 19 2011 at 08:00 PM

Thank you aha949.

OMG Really?
Monday, September 19 2011 at 08:00 PM

Blackman1 I was being very cautious, but thank you for the pep talk lol.

Saturday, May 14 2011 at 08:00 PM

You dont like any of the hbcu's like NCCU, FAMU or Southern? They are very affordable and you would easily get into those.

HBCUs
Monday, September 19 2011 at 08:00 PM

I was going to apply to Howard, but I realized how much I like diversity.

ok
Saturday, May 14 2011 at 08:00 PM

Dont be cautious. You are going to lose at least one case in your life so why are you afraid to get a rejection letter? Cast a wider net. Plus speaking on diversity, black lawyers are going to be make up the majority of your network when you practice. The legal field is incredibly racist. Google...racism in law school 101

Goodluck.. But?
Tuesday, September 20 2011 at 08:00 PM

Good luck on your cycle. I hope those aren't all the schools you are applying to? With your numbers and being a URM, you can get into a T1 school easily. Up north their are many schools you can go to including U Conn, St. Johns, Benjamin Cardozo, and Also Howard U. All those schools starting salaries are in 100k + and Howard starting salaries are up to par with T14 schools. Yep, their average is 150k. So you should look into that.

Thanks....
Monday, September 19 2011 at 08:00 PM

Thank you cooljack I have applied to more schools, I will show them once I receive a decision thanks for the encouragement.

Florida Coastal
Sunday, July 24 2011 at 08:00 PM

Congrats on your acceptance to ALL your schools! I'm glad you're showing all these nay sayers that lower LSAT scores don't mean anything! And I'm glad to see (according to your comment) that you've applied to more schools. I really hope you get into the one's you really want to go to! I'll be watching you! Continued good luck to you! :)

THANKS
Monday, September 19 2011 at 08:00 PM

Thanks a lot Beth I have to admit I'm not conceited, but convinced that I wrote a wonderful personal statement. I have applied to 12 schools in total.

Sunday, July 24 2011 at 08:00 PM

There is a major difference between conceit and confidence. Nothing wrong with that! Heck, I feel like I wrote one heck of a PS too! LOL. Even the 1 person from this site that I let read mine said it was a "very, very good" personal statement! I truly believe that personal statements can, and do, sway admin committee's if there are factors that may be less than stellar. A great ps can seal the deal! :) Keep us posted on the other 9 schools!

Good Luck
Wednesday, September 07 2011 at 08:00 PM

Saturday, October 08 2011 at 08:00 PM

Do they have an option to switch to FT once u start ?

Best wishes
Friday, October 28 2011 at 08:00 PM

Glad to see you got accepted into all the schools you applied. Did you figure out which one you'll attend yet?

Monday, September 19 2011 at 08:00 PM

Niesene, Yes you can always switch from full-time to part-time or vice versa once your admitted, but it will require the dean's permission.

Monday, September 19 2011 at 08:00 PM

Psalm1829, thank you, I know you only see 3 schools, but i've applied to 12 and still waiting from the rest to make a decision thanks.

Congrats

LSAT
Thursday, November 10 2011 at 07:00 PM

Retake the LSAt, you are top law school material.

Sunday, January 30 2011 at 07:00 PM

How has your cousin's legal career been since graduating from John Marshall? I'm curious because I got accepted there and I'd love to live in Chicago, but I'm afraid of not getting a job by going to the lowest ranked school in that city.

Monday, September 19 2011 at 08:00 PM

My cousin who graduated from Atlanta John Marshall has been unemployed for almost a year and has decided to do contracts for people here and there. I don't know about Chicago.

Sunday, January 30 2011 at 07:00 PM

Ohh I thought he/she went to the Chicago John Marshall. Sorry!

SD
Tuesday, August 02 2005 at 08:00 PM

Did you move to San Diego? I think you were a person interested in Spring admission right?

Monday, September 19 2011 at 08:00 PM

No I didn't go to San Diego lol...and no i'm not the person who was interested in Spring admission...I think you e-mailed me about Florida Coastal you thought they admitted you for the Spring lol.

Oops
Tuesday, August 02 2005 at 08:00 PM

My bad. Sorry about that. I saw Thomas Jefferson and thought you were that person. Either way, you should be hearing some news very soon. Good luck!

Thursday, June 02 2011 at 08:00 PM

I don't know what happened with Penn State & Temple for me. Confusing schools! Good luck on the rest of your cycle!

yay
Wednesday, January 18 2012 at 07:00 PM

Thank you so much for your stats and good words! I just applied, and like you had a great GPA and a mediocre LSAT (149). We will see! Oh and I'm a black female as well. :) best of luck on your decision!

Monday, September 19 2011 at 08:00 PM

Goodluck girl...we can do this I know it! Make sure you write a super personal statement, resume is spectacular, and recommendations come from actual lawyers!

Sunday, December 11 2011 at 07:00 PM

Congrats on your acceptances!

Whittier
Thursday, January 05 2012 at 07:00 PM

Congrats on all your acceptances!! Can you please tell me how Whittier notified you regarding your waitlist status? Did they indicate on status checker? email? or call you? I am ANXIOUSLY awaiting an answer. Thanks for your words of encouragement. LSAT = 143

Sunday, December 11 2011 at 07:00 PM

Yeah!! UDC and Howard are my top two because I stand a chance and they are in DC :) Good luck to you too!!

Southwestern
Sunday, January 30 2011 at 07:00 PM

I liked Southwestern a lot, but I really don't like LA and I couldn't see myself living there. I'm not sure I should go to a school where I'd be in an unhappy living situation

How did you hear about your PT acceptance at FIU? I received a phone call a couple weeks ago asking if I was interested, then never received notice on the decision. Thanks!

MSU LEO Program
Wednesday, January 09 2013 at 07:00 PM

Hey Luvya, I just got denied from the MSU curriculum but they offered me the opportunity to sign up for their LEO program. Can you please message me back and tell me how it is. Any advice is very appreciated
