12/18 - Checked status at all of my schools and discovered that Northeastern mailed out its decision letter on the 15th. Surprised at the quick response, considering I sent my application in on the 14th, but hoping for some good news.

12/19 - Found Northeastern's acceptance letter under a pile of newspapers this morning. $8,500/year with a $3,000 stipend!

01/05 - It's been a long 2-3 weeks, but the holidays [silence on the law school front] are officially over. IN at USD via snail mail! Won't be hearing back about scholarships until mid-January, but anxious to see if they will offer me anything.

01/07- Decision rendered at Loyola. Status checker says the letter's been mailed out. Eek!

01/09 - Acceptance package from Loyola! IN with $66,000 a year!!! Absolutely overjoyed, as Loyola is definitely one of my top choices. Only concern is about the stipulation that says I have to be top 1/3 of the class to keep the scholarship...

01/18 - MLK day means the silence is going to be deafening today. Please hurry and start sending me some decisions, schools!

01/22 - IN at Brooklyn via a rather unceremonious email. Official letter of admission is on its way, but no word on scholarship. Happy to finally hear from somewhere, but unless I get $$$, especially after Loyola's offer in-state, I will probably have to withdraw.

01/26 - YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! IN at Notre Dame with 20K/Yr via a $10.50 package complete with car decal, folder, and large, heavy, bound "Guide to Student Life at Notre Dame". Pretty freakin excited, as this is my best offer to date. Honestly didn't think I'd be admitted, let alone receive a scholarship. Floating on cloud nine right now :D

01/28 - Just got the acceptance call from Minnesota. No word on scholly, but the acceptance package is on its way. Weeee!

02/01 - Got an email from Cardozo notifying me that I've been placed on hold. I was definitely disappointed and a bit surprised, but hoping a LOCI will get me a definite response sometime soon. Email said that I might have to wait until April for a decision though...

Got scholarship info from USD. $30K/Yr with basically no stipulations about GPA. Pretty stoked about this one- biggest $ offer yet!

02/02 - IN at Boston University via phone call!!!! YAYY! Totally made my day. Hell, it made my week! It totally made up for the hold from Cardozo. I know BU doesn't give out scholarships to people with stats similar to mine, but at this point, I'm just super excited I even got in. Hurrah for awesome LORs and personal statements!

Also got the acceptance packet from Minnesota. $20K/Yr with contingency that I maintain a 2.5 GPA. Awesome. It's turning out to be an amazing new year.

02/05 - In at UIUC via email with guaranteed $25K/Yr. Thanks Dean Pless!

02/13 - Dinged at UCLA via snail mail. Didn't even feel the sting, that's how expected that was. It did, however renew my regrets about slacking off so much senior year. Study hard, people! Every hundredth of a point counts!

02/25 - I've been a bit lazy about updating recent action on my apps - was waitlisted at BC via snail mail on Saturday the 20th. BC was never a top choice, so I will most likely be withdrawing very soon.

Accepted at Quinney via phone call yesterday on the 24th. The dean was super nice and explained that financial information would be coming mid-March.

Got an email admittance from Fordham today! Very happy but know that merit scholarship is unlikely. Going to be visiting Fordham along with Cardozo , BU, and ND next month, so hoping that will help me figure things out :D

02/26 - Email rejection from Georgetown :P

03/25 - Notified that I have been put on reserve at Cornell via snail mail.

03/26 - Went in review at USC!

03/31 - Called U of W after seeing a blank status on my status checker and was told that a decision has been finalized. Judging from LSN, doesn't look like I got in, but will know for sure by tomorrow.

Edit: Withdrew today from the schools I'm not really considering anymore. Felt a tinge of regret for some of these schools, but I think I'm doing the right thing. Hope it opens up spots for people more deserving than myself

04/22 - Cycle's finally over! It's really been a rough road, but I'm happy with how the cycle played itself out. Good luck to the new applicants, and to everyone heading off to law school!
