Additional info & updates

Scholarship(s) are 3 year totals

11/5/14 Got denied binding early admission to WashU via email, moved to regular app status...not too surprised but still optimistic

UH ED is not binding so should hear something by Christmas....or shortly afterwards

12/8/14 Got rejection email from William Mitchell ED....really didn't plan on going there and moving to Minnesota so its no love lost, although I am a tad bit surprised I was rejected...I think the timing of my application was a factor, as I waited until the last minute for ED...

12/18/14 Got email and phone call from SLU; I was accepted and received $90K scholarship. I'm in awe. Truly a blessing. Two down, ten to go but its looking like I'll be a Billiken...

12/23/14
Visited SLU and WashU, had an informal interview after the tour at WashU.

1/6/15. I'm expecting it today/tomorrow, they only supply decisions via snail mail.

1/7/15 Checked online status for TSU-TMSL and it states that their decision has been made and was mailed out

1/15/15 Rejected to Pitt. Not too bummed out, as my goal is to stay in the Midwest or Texas; although acceptance to Pitt would've been a good option to have on the table. Timing is crucial and the earlier you can get your app complete and in the better. I honestly believe that my timing was a major factor in my rejection to WM and Pitt.

1/22/15
Received email from STCL, already knew from the status checker, with (1) year $3k scholarship. After 1st year I would be considered for additional scholarships.

1/23/15
Denied to UH via status checker....."Decision made and will arrive by mail" via status checker at FSU....based on other profiles, if I didn't get a call I probably didn't get in...Midwest here I come....

2/4/15
Denied at Chicago via email.

2/5/15
Waitlisted via email today from Tulane.

2/27/15
Waitlisted at Northwestern, pretty sure it was my interview that kept me in the running.

3/4/15
Rejected at WakeForest. Nice email with a copy/pasted paragraph in a different font telling me to apply to their Masters in Legal Studies program. No Thanks I'll go for a JD.

3/4/15
Waitlisted at WashU...looks like I'm headed to STL no matter what.
