Additional info & updates

8/16-17 - Received WL Rejections from W & M and Wake. I will definitely be sitting out this year. Preparing to retake the LSAT this October. Then repeat this vicious cycle.

4/28 - Received snail mail from U of S. Carolina dated 4/23 with 17k scholly per year. Still pretty expensive though...

4/22 - Waitlist e-mail from UNC.

4/7 - Phone call from FSU, in. E-mail from 'Bama, out. Wondering who will win the slowest school on my list award. Indiana or UNC? Probably UNC since they are the only school I really want to hear from anyway.

3/29 - E-mail Acceptance from Tulane. Waitlist letter from GA State dated 3/23.

3/21 - Received my waitlist letter (dated 3/17/10) from UFlorida. Dang. I definitely feel an LSAT retake coming on...

3/20 - Dinged at Emory. Letter dated 3/16/10.

3/19 - WL at W&M via e-mail

3/17 - DLIT at U. of F

3/15 - Held at FSU.

3/9 - WL'd at Tennessee.

3/2 - Waitlisted at W&L.

2/23 - Accepted at LSU via two envelopes: one small one - that had scholarship info - dated 2/23, and a large envelope dated 1/27 that had the basic "you're admitted" info. Both were postmarked 2/25.

2/18 - Dinged at UIUC & UTexas.

2/15 - Held at Georgia State.

2/8 - Accepted at South Carolina. Came in a small white envelope, postmarked 2/3.

2/5 - My application to Miami was withdrawn by U of M admissions, because apparently the college I went to wasn't regionally accredited. I can't help but sort of laugh. Other than the fact that I am pretty sure it did have some crummy regional accredidation, I really wasn't even planning on going to Miami anyway. I don't think I will bother arguing with them about it. Wasn't expecting that though.

2/4 - Waitlisted at Wake Forest via e-mail. Kind of a bummer. It was my #2 (of the schools I had a supposedly reasonable shot at getting into). Better than a rejection though, I guess.

2/1 - Finally received my letter from Indy (small white envelope). No Scholly in the letter! Bogus. Also received my rejection from UGA (suprise, suprise).

1/26 - Rejected by GMU (snail mail, small white envelope).

1/22 - GMU Decision letter in the mail

1/21 - Accepted at Indiana-Indianapolis via e-mail. Letter in the mail.

Dick is that you? I had no idea you were on here. W told me you were thinking about law school but I thought he was just having one of his WMD moments. Anyway, we should going hunting sometime.

Good luck man... seems like we applied to alot of the same schools and have similar numbers.

Hello there... how did you hear of your Indy acceptance?

INDY
Monday, August 17 2009 at 08:00 PM

I actually applied there after receiving a fee waiver as well, but now that I've researched it I really like it. It didn't start at the top of my list, but since my list has dwindled, it's now in the top five =) Plus I would be lucky to get in there and would be over the moon to attend... Good luck with all of yours.

That stinks about Miami, I was hoping we wouldn't have to worry about that crap. Hey man don't worry about the waitlist @ WF, you should get in when some of the big fish they've accepted start withdrawing. Hey and congrats on the Indiana!

Wednesday, January 06 2010 at 07:00 PM

Yeah retaking may be a good idea, especially if you have a pretty good job right now. If you think you could a 170 I would recommend it.

Wednesday, January 06 2010 at 07:00 PM

Hey congrats on the USC! Have you looked at Baylor or Ole Miss? They're rising on my list.

Wednesday, January 06 2010 at 07:00 PM

I've been putting my shiny new degree to use... Stacking boxes in the back of a Semi for Walgreens. But hey, things are looking up, I've got an interview with Home Depot next week. What kind of law firm are you in?

Thanks...

for the name recognition, but I haven't been accepted to a single school yet! Maybe the awesomeness of the name backfired? haha...

Congrats

On LSU man, that's awesome. So what do you think? Where are you going?

UTK
Monday, January 11 2010 at 07:00 PM

Just FYI, I got waitlisted at UTK too, and my stats are similar to you. I can't figure it out, either...
