Thank you for the advice. I tried to apply online to Widener earlier and their online app had a glitch to it. I'll apply now though. You should consider applying to North Carolina Central. I plan to apply there as well.
Good luck this cycle!! I would definitely try St.Thomas is Florida. I was accepted there with similar numbers - maybe we would be classmates :)
Hi just wanted to drop you a line...our numbers are similar...good luck with this cycle...you should try FIU or Florida A&M
Hey that means you have good enough stats to get in. Try and go the extra mile without being overly annoying to let them know you would love to go there. Good luck man!
Will do! I wrote within the 'Why NYLS' paper that they are my 1st choice and that I would be OK with admission to their conditional summer program, so I hope it goes well.
Hang in their buddy its coming!!
Have you applied to CLEO? They may be able to help you with Charlotte. As a fellow low LSAT candidate, I know what youre going through. Many of the schools are index schools unfortunately, so just hang in there. You may also want to contact the Puerto Rican Bar Association (PRBA) for help. Their website is www.prba.net or you may contact the PRBA Student Liaison at studentinfo@prba.net. Best of Luck P.S. Dont know if youre interested in Fordham Law But you should also contact the Fordham Law School Latino Law Students Association (LALSA). lalsa@law.fordham.edu or (212) 636-6950
Hello anonymous, you have a valid point, and I am well aware of the hurdles ahead of me. I included an addendum explaining both my low LSAT score and GPA. Standardized tests have never been my strong suit, and my GPA was a victim of some unforeseen hardship. I'm still optimistic, but plan to test in the future if I am not accepted this term.
Admitted attorney, you again have valid points and I am aware of the competitive nature of the legal field. Yet I believe you are overlooking two major points of contention. First, obviously I have no expectations of attending a Top 14 and don't forsee a future in BigLaw. Second, plenty of lawyers from 3rd and 4th tier schools are making nice livings, some of which are winning multi-million dollar verdicts each day. When I lived in the North East, I encountered countless Widener grads whom were happily employed. I am realistic, I know its a long shot with my scores, but that doesn't mean I'll give up. I already stated that I'll be sitting again in preparation for 2011.

"Admitted Attorney" you're clearly a giant douche. Melter- I suggest even if you do get in somewhere this cycle, don't go. You are clearly an intelligent person, I can't see that from your posts. Spend one more year, studying really hard for the LSAT. I bet you will improve by 10-15 points, and you will give your self some really solid options. Just my opinion, of course :) Either way, don't listen to this moron telling you that you can't go into law. Good Luck.
Anonymous/Admitted Attorney, go away. This is MY profile and I'm only interested in chatting with positive, like minded applicants. Climb back onto your high horse, and if you really are an atty, you must have so little work to do that you can afford to harrass me all day. I'll be deleting any more of your posts, son.
The only jobs that will soon be extinct in the US are IT jobs! They are all outsourced to other countries, where the labor is cheap. I also have few friends who are attorneys and not at "big law" at all, they all have very decent jobs and LIKE WHAT THEY DO! There are a ton of boutique firms who have all kinds of graduates employed and the profession is not dying. People will always need lawyers, doctors and funeral homes, at least in the US. Melter, if you do not get admission anywhere during this cycle, try to do better on the next LSAT and apply again. If this is your dream, if this is your future, go get it!
Hey man. Just found out through their online status checker that I was rejected from New York Law School as well. Pretty shitty, but oh well. Oh and this anonymous guy eats shit sandwiches, not the frois gras he imagines he eats.
I already sent out the email asking them to re-evaluate me for the part time program (the one I was going to originally apply to). I think that St Thomas was really wanting to say "Yes" to me based on the emails with the admissions office - and I have a client who went there and is an extra reference - he is an active alumni. I will re-apply to St Thomas as soon as this thing wraps up. I'll apply to FIU as well... Someone last year got into Nova with a lower score than another applicant without having to do AAMPLE... he applied too late for AAMPLE - which has a dead line of April 1st, I believe... There is a guy on here who had a decent GPA and a crappy LSAT, but he applied all over the darn place and got into a good school... His nick name is: lazylawyer312 - his story is a great one for anyone with any self doubt to read over. He updated his profile not too long ago to - to report on his progress and thoughts. I do not want to retake the LSAT, and I don't think I'll have to either. If I get my mess cleared up quick enough, I am certain that St Thomas will OK me, they are very kind. Those who are successful are those who have recovered from failing the most - I speak from experience! Best wishes for much success, always!
If law is really what you want, keep striving for that goal. maybe if you don't get in this cycle, retry your lsat. maybe take a course. i have very low numbers too, but i do hope that you keep going forth if this is what you really want to do. Good LUCK!
Keep up your faith!! You will get in somewhere!! Just trust. Did you send a letter of continued interest (LOCI) to Charlotte? Might be worth it.
Hello, if you do not get into anywhere that you consider worth your while to go, you might consider reading for the bar. Several states allow this (Virginia for one), I don't know about your state. An attorney that I uses to work for did this and it worked for him, he passed the bar on his first try. Whatever you decide to do, best of luck!
The prize goes to those with the dedication, motivation and determination! Fight the good fight, the day is yours! rshflalaw
Hey- congrats on the AAMPLE program. I received an e-mail with the same yesterday for acceptance into that program. I'm not sure if I'll go or not. We'll see. But Congratulations on that! Good Luck!
Congrats on the AAMPLE program!
Congratulations on your acceptance!! I have a friend who went through a similar program and said that it was well worth it, and would recommend it to anyone. Good luck with whatever you decide!
Hey man, Congrats on Nova AAMPLE! My advice is to keep fighting to for Charlotte though, as it can be a guaranteed acceptance! Whatever you decide, best of luck!
my friend went to Campbell, the program was PBAP (performance based admission program), in this program everyone who finishes summer school with satisfactory grades are offered admission. It is a good chance for those that do well in a classroom, but not on standardized tests like the LSAT. I hope this is helpful!
No application to Appalachian as of yet. I may hold off to see what comes in the next few weeks.
I am glad to find others on LSN who realize the value of hard work and positive thinking. I'm glad the acceptances are beginning to roll in and I hope you get more good news in the days to come. Congrats and good luck!!!
Congrats on the acceptance! Keep in mind that Cooley has a very harsh grading curve which forces 1/3 of the class to flunk out every year- no refund on the tuition paid. That's 570 people each year. Just something to keep in mind when making your decision. Good luck with the rest of your cycle!
Congrats you give me hope ;-).
Thanks for the info I have been under review with Ave Maria since Oct. and each time I call they say it shouldnt be much longer. Had no idea you could place yourself on their waitlist though, I will have to check the website. Thanks
Your level of excitement has me siked. I have been met with some rejections over the past 2 years; more than my fair share I would say. I just wanted to reach out to you because our scores are very similar and I was actually accepted into Thomas Cooley and was thinking of not going...How dare I! Your timeline has given me the fortitude to pick up everything and head for MI! I hope to see you there...
Congratulations on the conditional acceptance at Widener. Did you fill out additional paperwork for that or did you normally apply and then they gave you a conditional accept?
Oh ok. I may do that with Ave Maria.
Reading your updates are so inspirational! I, too, have similar numbers and have been invited to Widener's TAP program! I wish you luck.
Hey, I have a question for you. Were you denied from Widener and then later receive an invite for their conditional program? I checked my status on their website and was denied admission. I am just wondering if maybe ill be getting an invite as well. Or did you just get an invite? Thanks! And congrats on your accomplishments, your hard work is paying off!
Hello, how are you? i really hope that everything works out for you. I see that you and I are in the same position.
I've been watching your profile, and thank you for the continued updates. I am still on the fence, I hope to get in my #1 choice still :) If not I am thankful for my #2 choice.. Believe in yourself, all things are possible!
Any update?? How was ur October score??
I was wondering how many times you have tried the LSAT? If you can improve it, I urge you to. I believe you will get in somewhere. Just don't lose hope. There are some schools in Tennessee that might not be as hard to get in. Also, since you are open to unaccredited, I was wondering if you may also be open to Schools like Massachusetts school of Law? LSAT is not required but you have to take a test conducted by the school. In any event, I wish you the best.
