Huge congrats! The first is the best, because you are now going to law school for SURE!!! :)

good luck on the lsat- wish my numbers were split the other way like yours so i could actually do something about it. oh well. and congrats on baylor! which nc school?

thanks for the congratulations! and way to go on the large chunk of $ at Baylor...it suggests good things for the months ahead!

Congrats to you as well on Baylor! I'll admit I'm a bit jealous of the full scholarship you received - good luck with the rest of your apps.

and congrats on Baylor, good luck with the rest of your apps

Thanks for the good wishes. It looks like you're gonna do awesome, but still wishing you best of luck.

I actually submitted my applications (with the faint hope of possibly getting in) with the intention of working for the next year and will be retaking in June. Just wanted to congratulate you on your current admission and wishing you good luck on everything else (applications and LSAT)!!!!

On UNC! great school, one of my top 3. great value for instaters like us. good luck on the rest of your apps.

Thank you, congrats on UNC, that's a great school. Wake is not one of my top choices, but I'm certainly going to fly up there and check it out. Best of luck to you in the upcoming month or so--it should start to get exciting real soon.

hope you did well on your test this past saturday! good luck with everything. i decided not to take the february lsat (i'm burnt out) and if i ended up getting deferred at a top choice, letting them know i'm taking june lsat (i submitted so late they probably won't look at me until april/may anyways)...we'll see though! just wanted to wish you luck and congrats on all of your apps! :)

I want to see some movement on some of these apps of yours dammit!

Hey what's up! We are twins now. Good luck with your apps, maybe now you wil start hearing back from a lot of places!

Way to go on your LSAT...!

I think Vandy still has a pretty strong frat boy/party reputation...and I imagine it is probably much this way after hours. Academically though, it was very on point in the classroom. Being married and not a big drinker, I think I won't get the full Vandy experience...but after seeing UNC - Franklin Street during the UNC-DUKE game...I'm not sure I personally would fit in much at any law school if drinking is always the big thing to do. lol.

You're ahving an awesome cycle- I saw on another post that you were all but decided- does W&M change this? What is your top choice so far (I am sure you have a lot of good news to come!).

Woohooooooo!!!!!! WTG on Cornell! Decisions made yet?

Thanks for the kind words, and congrats on Cornell! My vibes are officially with yours, re: Duke. Where are you leaning right now? Man, I wish I had Cornell in the bag like you do....

on Cornell and Notre Dame, that is sooo awesome!!! And awesome improvement on the LSAT!!!

I'm sure Duke will come through. Looks like they're only getting warmed up.

Duke starts in June, doesn't it? Please tell me we have 2.5 months, not 1.5 .... And are you sure you want Duke's JD/LLM over Cornell's? I'm a bit torn between the two. Of course, I'm not admitted to either yet...

if not Duke and not Cornell, where? W&M? That would be a great school too, and good for the South I assume. Or are you holding out for Vandy or UVA...? I got dinged by UVA, but I'm holding out a little for Vandy -- wouldn't mind going there at all.

I know this question gets thrown around a lot, but seeing as you w/drew from one and not the other, I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on how Wake & UNC stack up against each other. Thanks & congrats on a great cycle thus far.

Thanks for the comment - really helpful. No, I haven't visited either school, but now I'm thinking I probably should (assuming UNC is even an option for me)... Getting a sense for a school's "vibe" is definitely worthwhile.

sounds right up your alley. That would be cool to be able to pick a school based purely on personal preference -- enjoy the freedom and go for it! I, on the other hand, really would like a career in academia -- so I pretty much have to go to the best school I can get into, personal preferences aside....

I'm crossing my fingers that you won't end up languishing on the Duke WL. With your GPA they'd be crazy not to take you! I'm really only interested in the Duke dual program, so if I don't get off the WL by June 1, that's it.

Lol, I just read your msg ... I don't use the same uname on LSN and LSD like you do, but if you look at my email addy you'll see you do know me.

Yeah, I agree: BOO for Duke! I'm hanging on for Cornell -- and Texas and Penn (and maybe Vandy).... Are you settled on Wake for sure?

Congrats on UVA Way to go!

They're not fools. Congrats.

We're almost identical number twins. It's interesting to see where our acceptances differ...I wonder what made schools lean towards you in some cases and me in others. You have some awesome acceptances. Congrats! Do you know where you're headed?

for the comfort. vandy would be good, but i'm still hoping for a miraculous acceptance at chicago or NYU which would salvage the whole season. congrats on your acceptances, you have some awesome choices.

Just wanted to add to your ever-growing comment list on here :-) Congrats on Duke!!!!!

Thanks for your note! Good luck with decisions. Re: your question, the money is an academic scholarship; I haven't received the finaid package yet.

in relation to your message...should i have heard by now? i was complete by mid/late feb. do you think it's a bad sign?

What dual-degree at Duke were you accepted into? I've gotten into the JD-MA in Romance Languages (I'll be doing French). Congrats on the acceptances, especially UVA. That's awesome!

If I get into UNC, I am pretty sure I'd go there. I have friends at Duke and love the Raleigh/Durham area. But the more research I do, the more I'm seeing that you really can't go wrong with Wake. People who attend seem to really like it. I feel lucky to have that acceptance under my belt.

Thanks for the reply. Are you going to be at Wake this weekend for the open house?

I live in G'boro and took the LSAT at Wake. Visited once informally when I was in the area, but that's all. I'm looking forward to the official tour and talking to some current students.

What made you choose Wake? Was it the money? Did you just fall in love with the school? Just curious! Sounds like a great choice.

Nope I haven't made my choice yet. I pretty much fell in love with Boston College, but I want to go into academia, so prestige is an issue. But I'd have a better chance at being at the top of the class at BC, so I don't know what the heck to do. Right now it's Duke, Cornell, UT, or BC.

Yeah, Vandy & Penn both are taking for.ev.er. Right now, I'm calling it for UIUC -- but I'll ditch 'em for Cornell, Texas, or Penn for sure -- and maybe for Vandy, depending on the $$ situation.... Congrats on finally being done & decided!!

You once listed as having withdrawn from Duke. Are you reconsidering going there? Forgive me if I'm mistaken.

I see you're still waiting for Vandy as well. So nice for them to wait until we've already made decisions. I don't get it. Harvard told me it never got my dean's certification.

Hey, I saw on LawSchoolDiscussion that you're headed to Wake next year, as am I. Congrats. The class is something like 160 and I'm coming from Michigan, so I'd like to get to kinda know some people before I go. Hit me up on email or something if you care to. Again, congrats and Go Deacs.

I got the Vandy WL letter on Friday. I can't believe you're still waiting when other superior schools have already accepted you.

Looking quite forward to it. Except driving back and forth looking for an apartment is getting old, so I'm glad I found a place (in the same complex as KnockKnock, incidentally). So moving down May 8 and life is looking good. I bet you are excited to get to Wake. I saw where you had posted on LSD looking for fellow Wake Alums-To-Be... When you heading over that way?

Although you knew you'd get in... lol. How nice they were really surprised me... I expected from their preppy private school rep for them to be stuck up and rude...but quite the opposite is true.Then again, kinda heard the same things about Wake, and they were really nice.

Congrats- I knew Vandy would be crazy not to accept you. What's up with Harvard, though?

Hey. Congrats on your many acceptancess!! I was wondering though whether you had been placed on hold for Harvard or whether today was the first word you had heard from them. Amazing acceptances! Thanks for the help.

sorry, i know you have gotten probably a million questions about wake so far. do you think the campus had a good sense of community to it? Im on the preferred wl and should get in after the next round of admits, but Im trying to decide between there and GMU. I got a bad feel from GMU but job opportunities are amazing. I told me mom to decide for me and she couldnt, so im trying to get feedback from other future 1ls. ps. congrats on UVA, you kick ass :) its gotta feel great even though you arent going :)

Umm... I really think I should have gotten in when the deferral decision came back. My bet is now that I hear from them right after the second deposit, so probably June 4th or 5th. I think I am gonna end up at GWU though. I eventually wanna do the big firm thing in DC so I can build a reputation for myself and set things up for a political career and GW is ideal for that. The only thing that might sway me away is an acceptance and money from w&m, but i still dont know. What made you choose wfu over uva and unc?
