Additional info & updates

Valpo: Thin letter informing me they would love to have me, but they need some seats to clear up.

UST: Accepted. Large package.

NIU: Waitlisted

Marquette: Thin envelope, rejected!

New update: Wife's pregnant. I need to receive in-state tuition in order to make it work. Really would like not to do night school and miss almost a quarter of my kids life. Will retake LSAT if I need to. A little nervous considering I took it twice and got the same exact score both times.

DePaul: Rejected! I guess it really doesn't matter that I am not able to go those schools... they don't want me.

September LSAT here I come!

Scratch that, I just got a phone call from NIU!! Boo yeah! I know they're considered T4, BUT it's in state tuition with decent job prospects for those who perform well (I have a friend whose an L2 and he's doin pretty well for himself; Note: my last semesters in UG were around 3.8. So I do have it in me, I just slacked off my first two years and worked quite a bit). Unless I hear back from IU with a yes (doubtful), I will be in Dekalb this fall.

Indy is taking FOR-EV-ER. It's driving me nuts. Lady at admissions office said not to expect anything until late April a month ago. Looks like she wasn't being conservative, she was being realistic.

IU: Thin white envelope in the mail, rejected. NIU here I come!

Hey, Firstly, congrats, as I saw you were able to get off of the NIU waitlist, and I was wondering if you did anything (ie sending a letter of continued interest) to bolster your chances for acceptance? I wasn't expecting anyone to get off of the waitlist until the end of the summer. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

IU Indy sent me an email on 4/1 letting me know I was accepted & inviting me to an open house on the 12th. They said the letter was in the mail but wanted to let me know so I could make plans to attend the open house. Interestingly, I had not received the letter over a week later, so I called & they sent another one. Turned out the first letter they sent had the wrong address, so you might want to double-check that they have your address correct! FYI, my seat deposit is due May 1st so they'll probably have a better idea about things at the end of this week, which might help move things along for you. Good luck!!
