Additional info & updates

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

That's the law school predictor I choose to use.

Held @ Harvard 1/10/11, but I am hopeful. I believe it can happen.

1/14/11 sent in a letter of continued interest, updated transcripts (improved my LSAC gpa) and fourth letter of recommendation to Harvard. Nothing is impossible with God!

1/20/11 Fall grade request from Columbia Law, hopefully a good sign!!!

1/26/11 Off to Faculty Review at Berkeley! Yay for no Auto-ding. I am supposed to receive a decision from them on or around February 18th.

2/10/11 SEO Interview

2/14/11 I called Columbia today and they told me that a decision letter has not been sent yet. No Hold, no wait list. Lets hope I get a positive decision soon!

2/16/11 Wait listed at Duke, BUT got a call from Dean Tom, I am in at UC Berkeley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3/12/11 Still no word from Harvard, Stanford, Columbia or NYU, at least I have not been rejected from them yet. Here's hoping!

3/21/11 Still no word from the aforementioned four schools. But I have been offered a $105,000 scholarship to Georgetown and a Diversity Graduate Award at Berkeley meaning no tuition for my first year and a $10,000 stipend!!!!

4/3/11 As my cycle is quickly coming to a close, I am expecting good news from my remaining options. God can do anything but fail and has been faithful thus far in my cycle. Expect positive updates soon :)

4/5/11 Placed on reserve at Columbia, o wellz, it wasn't meant to be.

4/13/11 Wait listed at Stanford, hmmm I am gonna have to pray about riding it out or not.

4/21/11 Harvard wait listed me yesterday. God is going to make a way.

Any Scholarship information from Georgetown or UMich? Care to elucidate a bit more regarding your EC's? I would be grateful.

Saturday, December 04 2010 at 07:00 PM

Nope, haven't received any scholarship information yet from those schools. I have participated in various international service trip, have served as an officer in various clubs and have work with various urban minority groups

Good luck

I like your law school predictor. Good luck in your cycle and in your future

Congrats!
Friday, November 12 2010 at 07:00 PM

Great attitude! God bless and congrats on your cycle so far.

Tuesday, September 29 2009 at 08:00 PM

Congrats on Penn! Hope to see you there next fall!

Wednesday, August 11 2010 at 08:00 PM

Congrats on Cornell! We will end up where we are meant to be.

Monday, November 29 2010 at 07:00 PM

When did you receive scholarship info from BU? I'd be grateful for any response and congrats on your cycle so far!

Saturday, December 04 2010 at 07:00 PM

I got my scholarship offer from BU in the mail with my admissions packet, so on the 21st of December. But I think I am unique, I think for most people scholarship offers come later in the cycle.

Saturday, January 08 2011 at 07:00 PM

Congrats, on your amazing cycle. I hope to have similar success.

This is random...
Friday, February 25 2011 at 07:00 PM

Check out how many URM's on LSN get into the schools on my list with numbers similar to mine. You won't find many. Most of the people who you find will have LSAT's in the high 170's or GPA's of 3.7+ Clearly Law Schools are seeing more than just my skin color when deciding to admit me as URM's with my numbers rarely get in to top tier schools. Hater's gonna hate and God's gonna bless

God is good!
Wednesday, February 16 2011 at 07:00 PM

Hey! Congrats on your cycle! We have similar numbers but you applied a lot later than you did. Your success gave me a lot of inspiration for my own cycle. Now that I've been hearing from schools I just wanted to thank you for being so positive and trusting in God! Also in reference to your haters: My mom always says that if people aren't talking about you then you must not be doing something right lol :)

See you in law school
Sunday, June 06 2010 at 08:00 PM

Thanks a lot for being on here and reporting your information. It gives me hope. It also makes nervous. If you are willing, I would appreciate any advice you might have. God bless.

I honestly drop by your profile at least once a week for inspiration to keep the faith. Amazing things happened for you.
