Hey, congrats on your LSAT. Looks like we\'re applying to almost the same schools. See you over on LSD!

Ya sports is my passion and SportsCenter is my favorite show. I've been reading Marquette's sports law review and a lot of the cases seem interesting. I am unsure where I want to go but a lot of the sport law firms seem to be scattered in major metropolitan areas with a large cluster in New York and D.C. I really like the idea of Chicago so hopefully I can carve a niche for myself there. Good Luck on re-taking the LSAT. I wanted to retake it but I'm in the middle of school now, so I doubt I'll have much improvement.

i'm taking it in october...i'll definitely be a splitter

Hi there, I decided to take the LSAT again because I REALLY want to try and win some targeted scholarships in the t14. I think that since I am Latina and want to become a law professor I am a *slightly* unconventional and I think a 172+ will give me the extra oomph my app needs. Your comment "I'm annoying myself by being such a hyperparanoid douche. Killself?" resonates loud and clear over here haha. Good luck and I look forward to seeing how you do!

See the update above, anonymous :)

Congratulations on the LSAT increase. I'm sure you'll get in to your top choice now. As always good luck and let me know where you end up.

Hey, I just noticed that our numbers are close, and we applied around the same time. Fingers crossed! (I'll unprivatize (word?) my LSN when I get accepted somewhere), until then I'll be watching you!

Congratulations on UT-Austin! I just read your additional info--you are too funny--I just had to comment :) Wishing you all the best with the rest of your cycle!

On UT! I saw your post on LSD! Awesome, MA!

Congrats on UT!!!

Congratulations on GULC! You now have twice the acceptances that I do, Miss Snarky Pants ;)

Congrats on Georgetown! I'm sure you'll have plenty more acceptances rolling in for your top choices.

Congrats on Texas and G-town!

You can call me "Mister", and yeah, we're 2-2. You applied to one more school than I did, but we can still play the "who'll get more acceptances game" if you wanna?

LOL, I'm sure you'll get into the schools you apply to. I'm really interested in Cornell and UCLA.

So.....Since you pretty much have your pick of the litter as far as schools go, do you really see yourself at any one particular school?

Hey, it's GY. I try to keep my LSD and LSN separated for reasons of anonymity, paranoia, and overdose. Looks like out cycles are pretty similar so far.....race you to Harvard ;) btw what does your partner do if you don't mind me asking?

Your cycle could end today and it'll have been a success. I'm hoping I get my first offer soon...

My numbers are great - but I'm a rich country club white dude (two of those are true, can you guess which?), so I expect our cycles are going to be really similar

But... you already have two great schools...so it looks like i may need to call you for a favor when we both get into sports law. lol

All I have to say to that is this: Ole Ole Ole Ole....Ole....Ole!

"Dear, sweet baby Jesus." LOL... congrats on your acceptance to UT. You definitely deserve it. And a full ride....YAAAAAAY!!!

You can officially stop being jealous now ;)

Well, if it makes you feel any better, if those are the only two acceptances I get, I'm sure I'll be picking UT.

Haha...I see you are a fan of Talladega Nights( I think it's one of the best comedies ever). Congrats on the scholarship, based on your sarcasm alone you deserve it. I really wanted to go to UM undergrad too, we shall see what happens. Thank you though.

I love the "dear, sweet baby Jesus" line in reference to your FULL RIDE at UT!!! Congrats! I'm excited for you and I don't even know you (just love your sense of humour). Looks like this is gonna be a great cycle for you :)

Congrats on Georgetown...They're making me interview, which is annoying...

Luckily I have a direct line to God. Okay maybe not. I'll work on it

When you get accepted to Harvard, will you pick out houses with me? :)

You'll hear good news from them sooner or later - I fully expect to meet you in Cambridge

That house is amazing. Let's live in it PLEASE!

So I went complete at UCLA today (didn't even know they received my application) but I'm still waiting on NW. I know it takes "time" to update my candidate profile but I'm wondering if I should email my interviewer just to make sure she did it. Anyways things should start picking up here in the next month or so, lets keep our fingers crossed.

In the mornings, we'd watch SBTB and make fun of our fellow classmates :)

congrats on your acceptances, looks like we're applying to similar school :)

I got the Chancellors as well! Why do I have to be so drawn in by money....this has me rethinking my whole life all of a sudden.

So I finally went complete at NW but am starting to get a little anxious about acceptances. I figure out of the schools that I'm complete at I should be hearing from Virginia first and if I don't hear anything by December 15 I'll officially be worried.

Congrats on your California success. However, please be ready to let those schools know you're not going since you'll be joining me on the East Coast. Kthnxbai

Thanx for the congrats and back at you for all your success. The first one is great but it makes me greedy for more. :)

Grats on UCLA :)

I'm so impressed you called it that. That is so totally fratty!

I absolutely love the paddle I got from my little. Definitely hanging it up wherever I live in law school, so you can come admire it. And I'm looking forward to playing beirut with you.

And congrats on your UC acceptances!

yay for the UC schools. I love that you cried to the Berkeley dean! No phone call for me but I probably would have done the same :)

I'm excited about Cornell. There probably is no chance of you heading there, is there?

I've added you to my watch list. I'm sure Columbia will be sending you good news soon!

and best of luck on the rest of your cycle, though it doesn't look like you will be needing it :)

And you're having an absolutely amazing cycle so far :)

Mandatory LSN congrats

On Michigan!

haha, at least you got into michigan and have some leverage (congrats, btw). I am just a straight up status check stalker.

Thank you and congrats on getting 2/3 on the west coast swing.

Yes, I will update when (if?) I get the package. I might get another package this week too! ;)

My status checker changed to decision at Cornell sometime this weekend. I have the admitted students link, so, in an effort to be less pessimistic (I'm doing this for you), I'm going to get my hopes up and assume it's an acceptance.

Thanks for the congrats! :)

i like you. come to michigan.

Congrats on the acceptances so far!

<3!

Congrats on Michigan!!

I am only a junior, so I have only applied to the school I go to which has an early admissions option applying junior year. I intend to apply to a lot more. But congrats so far!

In at UT :). Happy to have the first one off my back!

congrats to you, too- you have some awesome options already!

To make things a bit more complicated, I just noticed my Penn status checker changed to "decision rendered." I'm cautiously optimistic. I think I would place Penn as my top choice. oh and congrats on the Darrow invite. Would that be enough to get you to leave Columbia?

I'd certainly be down for drinks. I get back the 28th, just let me know.

Good luck with the rest of your cycle!

... but what happens when Penn comes a-callin' at your door, er ear?

I'm afraid of success. Seriously, I dunno -- just couldn't see myself in New Haven for some reason.

Smart people with high LSAT scores?! (ahem) The success thing was a joke. I'm terrified.

On such a beautiful cycle!

Congrats on Duke and NYU!!

I delete comments on my page occasionally to protect my anonymity as much as possible.

Glad you like it. It's very mellow, but it has an edge, too. Happy New Year!

... thanks for single-handedly making my LSN page (and, by consequence, me, I suppose) look a little less sad.

Good movie. Congrats on the acceptances so far.

I'll probably end up there. I guess it's my favorite. It's my definitely my cheapest option as well. What about you? You have a lot of fabulous choices so far, who is the top pick?

Well, you can't really go wrong with any of them, but Michigan is a great school. It was my dream school, or still is, I guess. All the clinics and centers and beautiful building and everything. Good luck making a decision!

Awesome.

Pull out the broom... I predict a sweep. Assuming you get Harvard, is that where you think you will go?

a lot and good luck to you too of course! That'll be a nice way to wrap a perfect cycle no? =] Is HLS your #1?

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Thanks. Now if my cycle starts looking like yours, I'll be all set. LOL. You've had an incredible cycle. Congrats because you definitely deserve it.

I agree. I was planning on withdrawing but I hadn't heard from anyone in a while and I wanted an ego booster. Oh well, I guess that's what I get. Can we trade our Northwestern decisions lol. Congrats again.

Thank you. Yes, it's an incredibly awesome problem to have, especially considering I wasn't expecting to hear back good news from so many schools so soon. Either way, I'm happy, I'll have to start making those decisions. I'm so excited for you. Two schools away from a clean sweep this cycle. You definitely get the award for that.

on HLS. You're having an awesome cycle. I think mine is coming to an end...

Amazing! Congratulations!

congrats on the big news :)

You, my friend, are a badass. Congrats.

Wow! Congratulations on all your acceptances thus far and your full scholarship to Michigan. Looks like all you need is Harvard to complete your amazing cycle, which in my humble opinion, is in the bag! :)

Thanks. But have I mentioned how much you're my law school applicant role model? LOL. You're on a roll!Congrats on UPenn and Cornell. One away from that clean sweep.

^^ Was me. I take it you'll be going to Michigan next year? It's hard to turn down a full ride for 6 figure debt, even if it's Harvard. Not a bad problem to have though haha.

Congrats on Harvard and a perfect cycle! Mine is just getting started. :)

Congrats, that is so exciting! Good luck deciding between your many amazing options!

Bingo!

Congratulations!!! I'm sure now you're having the best week ever! Congrats again :)

Hard work certainly pays off, congratulations!!

Congrats to you! It's an awesome feeling, huh? I don't think it has sunk in yet. As for the decision, I'm strongly leaning HLS. I mean...it's Harvard. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity. Michigan is a fantastic school and I absolutely love it, but I don't think I can turn down the big H for anything but Yale. Debt will stink, but with the job opportunities HLS presents, it will only take a few years of smart money management to pay it off. But really, it depends on what you want to do. I'm interested in getting a clerkship and politics (eventually). HLS is a better school for those. OTOH, if you are looking to do public interest or something that doesn't pay all that well, Michigan w/ a Darrow is the way to go. I'll most certainly visit both schools before making my final decision. In a nutshell: It's so hard to turn down that much money from Michigan, but it's almost impossible to turn down Harvard. What are you currently thinking?

I know what you mean about the deciding! I've started to withdraw from a few, and it's difficult to even make these preliminary decisions. I'm sure it will be agony when I get down to about 5 schools. Although, of course, I can't complain too much! Like you said, I feel so fortunate. Anyway, I'll be curious to see what you decide since we have pretty similar options. Good luck!

Congrats on Harvard...going to be a tough choice but you'll be in good shape either way. Also got w/l at Chicago...bleh! I don't know if I should book my visit to ASW in Austin or hold off. It's late March so I'd like to have a heads up so the ticket prices are a bit cheaper. We should do drinks again too.

Wow, in @ HLS, UM & UT want 2 pay u...Can I say I'm comin back as u in my next life, lol...hope u poppin champagne...good luck!!!

Wow, your cycle has turned out quite nicely! Darrow at Michigan or full price at Harvard? What are your career goals again? I am struggling with my decisions. Michigan, Penn, UVA, or Chicago? I don't know. I've been out of the country for the past month and probably won't have the time to visit :(.

Just last week I was certain I'd be choosing HLS. But now, the Darrow is gaining ground. I won't know what I do until I do it.

Are you going to do the March ASW for both? I'm thinking of just renting a car and driving from Boston to Ann Arbor at the conclusion of HLS' ASW. Since I go to school 20+ hours from both places, it doesn't make sense to fly back down here only to fly back up there in a couple weeks.

Yeah I withdrew. I figured I wouldn't take it over UT with the money so why not let someone else snag it haha.

It does feel good to put up the A, but I'm not on the graph anyway. Why can't people see my little dot on the graph? When are you going to man up and choose Michigan?

On hold at Columbia :(

on Harvard. That's awesome. Are you deciding between Harvard and Michigan? I'm currently deciding between Mich or UVA and Duke with money...not quite the same but tough nonetheless...

Yeah, the scholarship really complicates things. I'm soliciting Michigan and UVa for money and hoping either one gives me something. Are you going to a Michigan ASW? I'm going to the March one.

hey congrats on ur badass cycle.

I'll be at attending the second one. Will you be there?

Why were you not here to stop me from eating Chipotle today?

Major congrats on all the acceptances! Is Michigan still the top choice?

Ha, thanks :). Glad to get into UCLA and hopefully I can play them/UT off each other for $$. Pretty bummed about Michigan, was probably a top 3 choice for me, but I'll probably stay on the WL and send in another LOCI. Something tells me I wont know where I'm going to LS until June/July given the number of WL's I'm going to be on (Waiting for UVA/NYU to throw me on there). What's in the cards for you? When do you take your trek to Boston? Let me know what you think of the (greatest) city :)

Just read your "news feed." What's the AnBryce? A full scholarship from a T5 would be nice :). Glad to see you're kicking ass and taking names this cycle haha.

Did you get your scholarship to UCLA with your admissions packet or did it come in the mail later? I want to start negotiating for $$ from them but I'm not sure how they do things.

I'll be at UMich this fall. How about you?? You have many GREAT options.

Wow, so do you! Where are you leaning towards? Harvard's hard to pass up, I'm sure!

Thanks! You've had some great news too! Good luck with the AnBryce. I'm very grateful and also quite conflicted about what to do, even just about the ASWs! I will definitely be at Harvard's ASW this weekend and I just went to Columbia's last week. I will likely be at NYU's in the end of March too. If it weren't for work, I'd be at Michigan's too, but I can't keep taking so much time off, so I'm trying to figure out if I would take the Darrow over the Hamilton, but of course that's kind of hard to figure out without visiting too! Perhaps I'll see you at one of those, if you're going to be there on same dates.

hey hey congrats on an AMAZING cycle. maybe i'll see you at harvard asw this weekend!!

Yeah, I'm pretty much floored by the Penn and Duke offers. I'm going to Michigan this weekend, by the way, so I'll be sure to report back. You any closer to a decision?

All 3 are excellent schools. It'd be hard to turn any of them down I'd imagine. Good luck!

full scholly to ucla is pretty much a given in this market.

thanks so much!!

You are making some mad bank.

No, in fact, I'm more confused than ever. I'm pretty much between Michigan and Virginia. Both are amazing, ranked the same, and will cost the same, and the areas they are in are completely different. It's going to be a tough choice.

Yup, I went to both the Virginia and Michigan preview weekends in March. Overall, there were very different groups of people at each.

I take it you got the AnBryce, which is awesome! And congratulations on making a decision!

Congratulations on your amazing cycle and picking a great school you love with a fantastic scholarship! NYU is great and I love Manhattan. Thanks for the congrats. I loved Cornell and will probably end up going there in the fall.

Thank you. Besides its connections, I think I'd really be comfortable there.I initially wanted to get away like you did, but yesterday showed me what I would be missing. New York is great for sports too. Nearly all of the league offices, so I am sure you will make connections. I know you will continue to do great things. Good Luck at NYU.

Haha, I'm actually still waffling quite a bit between the two. Getting off NYU's waitlist would make the decision much easier, though, because I would probably go there. I wrote them a really strong LOCI, so we'll see.

congrats on a wonderful cycle! best of luck at nyu. hopefully i can do well my first year and transfer, so maybe i will see you there :)

Hey, it seems like you made the right choice!! Congrats on your success! When you say you went to grad school, did you get a Masters or PhD? and in what? Thanks for being an inspiration!

Super congrats on NYU as well. Sweet scholly!

i know who this is. can't freakin wait!

Hi - You seem to have completely rocked the LS admission process. I graduated in May, have strong writing skills, and have 2 years of work experience in which I managed a musical act which got signed to Sony/BMG, so I have some legal experience to point to. Still, my LSAT was 170, and my GPA is a 3.24 with an upward trajectory Boalt has such an awesome IP program, and it's my #1 choice school, but a huge reach. Should I retake the LSAT in December, do you think? Should I try for other places and transfer? Any advice with this process would be most welcome. Hope your 1L experience has been awesome.

Hi there! We have very similar numbers (I'm a 172/3.22), also a female, and I was wondering what your secret was! my top choices are Texas and Virginia, and I saw you got in at both. Do you have any advice!?
