Additional info & updates

6/26/10 - WL from Dayton. Recieved final decision from MC, rejected. Not sure if I will accept WL from Dayton or not. Still leaning in the not going to LS at the present moment right now though.

5/6/10 - wow a whole month without an update, lol. Got a letter from ONU, waitlisted. I have to send in a LOCI to stay on the wl and then I would know by the 31st of the final decision. I am really torn on this one. I have a really good friend that goes there, that's why I applied. But COA puts it around the same as ASL, taking out 1st yr loans of about 50 grand. I read an article today on the WSJ and someone from the ABA actually said that they don't recommend someone going to law school right now. I just checked, ONU raised their tutition for 2010-2011 school yr - just shy of 31,000 (I believe it was either 26 or 28,000 previously, damn) Ah so conflicted!

4/2/10 - FCSL's Steve Jones just emailed me for the AAMPLE Program. I simply replied No Thank You.

3/31/10 - Ouch FCSL dinged me. And Dayton is still in review (going on 12 weeks now)

I visited Grundy and ASL over this past weekend, and as much as some of the aspects of the school appeal to me, it's looking more and more like LS right now isn't for me. COA 1st yr - 50,000 so from an investment point of view (this is also coming from the attorneys I work for) taking that massive amount of loans, they just didn't see how I could do it. neither could I. Esp after I had this weird thought after the mock 1st yr class, I'd rather teach. And after more thought, I see myself moving into an administrative role so..... probably going to go back for my M.Ed. I'm still relatively young, and in a few years or 10, I could always try again.

3/16/10 - FCSL status date changed to today's date but it's still in review. Ggggrrr!

3/8/10 - called Dayton again today, it is still in review. AH!! The lady gave me the assistant director's email and said I should contact him. I did, no reply yet. FCSL is still in review. No change still from ONU - probably not going to be for a couple of months like they said, double AH!

3/4/10 - letter from UDC, as expected - didn't get in =[

3/2/10 - checked UDC status online, decision rendered. Now waiting for the letter (don't think it is good news). Called Dayton today to find out the status of my file. It is in review and has been since the first week of Jan. I asked the lady how long files stay in review and she said 6-8 weeks so I should be receiving a decision soon since this is week 8 (i've heard that one before but we'll see) Hoping to hear something from them soon! Dayton isn't that far and I know how to get there, RT 35 the whole way! Plus my BFF lives in Cincy. Need to send my deposit into ASL soon. Still trying to figure out which paycheck to do that with since I still have to buy my Rock on the Range tix. If Im attending law school this fall, I'll be damned if I don't get to go to my rock concert first! lol =)

2/25/10 - spoke to someone at ONU about my file. The median score they are seeing for their incoming class is a 154 and since I'm kinda far from that I might not see a decision for 2 mos or so. Also for the SSP they are looking for people with gpas 3.5 or above. She went on to say that u could get called for an interview but the tone was kinda iffy. Errr! For FCSL still in review but now AAMPLE is gone and replaced with accepted seat deposit, pre register deposit, deposit, and tutition. Again confused. Anyone having this happen?

2/24/10 - got my letter from MCSOL, they haven't reached a final decision on my file and is still under consideration, will receive final decision by May 1. So thats what waitlisted is. FCSL still is under review but the first and second seat deposit disappeared and were replaced with AAMPLE deposit and tutition. hum... weird. I haven't gotten a letter or email from them either. Gonna call ONU tomorrow to find out the status of my file, come on people you have had it for 4 mos even if you didn't start reviewing files until after the first of the year.

2/20/10 - well I decided to check my status late late tonight and found out I didn't get into WVU, well damn that just sucks!
Anyways - GO TEAM USA!

2/19/10 - waitlisted at Mississippi College. Guess it's better than a flat out no.

2/16/10 - got my rejection letter from Capital, kind of figured. Had two emails from WVU - first - reply from my email. Files stay in review for about 4 weeks. "But with our new system and the snow it has taken too long. Hopefully, decision should be out soon. Sorry for the delay." second email was a move of the deadline due to weather related closings. I think its funny that two of the schools I applied to at the first of the year have gotten back to me before the two schools I applied to back in Sept.

2/15/10 - I just received an email from WVU regarding status checker. I had already received the exact same email 2 mos ago (although this one didn't have the temp password but the one I created) I emailed the lady back asking about the review process and such (because the email stated that after the file is complete
"Then we will to review your file materials which usually takes a couple of days and then we update your online status" - well my file has been in review for 19 days including weekends)
- Mail didn't run today so no letter from Capital yet, probably tomorrow and still doubtful its good news.
- Found out from ONU's chat that on the ASO the status will stay at application complete until a decision is rendered. Nice to know.

2/11/10 - Capital says decision rendered, letter in the mail (probably a denial or wl, it was a long shot one, but I am still hoping)

2/10/10 - ACCEPTED to ASL!!! I can't believe I got a decision this quick!! On top of the world right now! 1 down 7 more to go! Hopefully more acceptances in my future!! But I'm at least going to law school in the fall!

2/9/10 - file in review at ASL, guess they found the missing documents.

2/4/10 - fie in review at Capital. ASL status checker says file incomplete, but on the requirements list there is a check mark besided everything so I have no idea what is missing. No reply yet from admissions office. =( WVU still in review (praying praying please please) And yet another snow storm on its way to the area Fri/Sat. Why did the groundhog have to see his shadow!

2/1/10 - file was already in review at WVU, but the date changed from 1/27/10 to todays date. So confused!!! Just wish I knew already!! In state school and I actually want to stay in WV.

1/27/10 - WVU is in review.

1/26/10 - File under review at FCSL. Soooo nervous. Say a little prayer for me. I wonder how long files stay in review?

1/19/10 - File complete at Mississippi College

1/12/10 - File complete at UDC. (Still nothing from ONU or WVU, files have been complete for 3 mos so much for the advice to apply early)

1/8/10 - UDC received app, so has Appalachian and Dayton. Decided to apply to Miss. oh as for my previous statement about WVU, they fixed it. Suppose to be check marks beside what was listed, lol. On a side note - It is absolutely freezing where I live! 13 degrees (feels -1) not a big fan of this really cold weather!

1/5/10 - FCSL app status changed, file complete ready to be reviewed!

12/30/09 - received email from Florida Coastal application received. =)

12/28/09 - received email from ONU regarding status checker.

12/23/09 - received an email from WVU admissions office regarding holiday break and file updates. Still says complete but now there is information in the reguirement list. A little confused by that since my file is complete and she won't be back in the office until the 4th for me to ask her.

Thanks for the comment and good luck to you with your applications. I'll also say a prayer for you and FCSL!

Just wondering how long it took to get an application checker at Miss. College? Still haven't got one yet.

WVU

Hey thanks for the luck and yeah I got my undergrad from WVU but I won't hate on Marshall this once. :-) ... WVU does tend to be extremely slow reviewing applications from what I've heard so good luck hopefully you get good news soon!

WVU
Tuesday, October 27 2009 at 08:00 PM

Unfortunatley I can't withdraw my app just yet. My wife has family from Morgantown so there is a vested interest there. I will say that if (and that's still if) I get in I will be sure to make as speedy a decision as I possibly can concerning that acceptance. I hope this helps, and best luck with all your apps! I'll keep my fingers crossed on WVU for you.

ASL

Congrats on your acceptance!

thanks! congrats on appalachian and good luck with the rest of your cycle. you'll do great.

WVU
Thursday, January 28 2010 at 07:00 PM

yeah the wvu thing was really weird. especially the fact that they sent the same email twice. oh well. let me know if you hear anything! and good luck with the rest of your cycle!

WVU
Monday, January 25 2010 at 07:00 PM

Did your status checker tell you that your application was in review for 19 days, or did the admissions lady tell you that? My status checker just says that my file is complete.

WVU
Saturday, June 27 2009 at 08:00 PM

Sorry about WVU. Maybe I will see you in Grundy!

ONU
Sunday, November 22 2009 at 07:00 PM

I actually got an email from ONU asking me if I was interested in interviewing for the summer program, but I dont think im going to do it

ONU
Monday, September 28 2009 at 08:00 PM

I haven't heard anything from ONU yet. I think I applied there about 2 months ago. Good luck to you!

WVU
Tuesday, August 18 2009 at 08:00 PM

Sorry about WVU. You might not be missing much though, if their admissions process is indicative of their law school quality. None of my emails have been returned and all I have gotten is a cryptic piece of mail that says I'm not in or out. Good luck on the rest of your admission cycle.

WVU
Monday, January 25 2010 at 07:00 PM

Sorry about WVU!! I'm finally in review there. I think I read on someone's profile that you said a lot of people with numbers above their medians were getting rejected? What did you mean by this? Thanks for the help!

WVU
Monday, January 25 2010 at 07:00 PM

Is this happening to people who have GPAs in the 3.0-range and mid to high 150s LSAT scores? I could understand them holding off on "splitters," but why are they waiting so long to admit people?!

WVU
Monday, January 25 2010 at 07:00 PM

I've been "pooled" at WVU. I just found out via status checker. Do you happen to know the time frame of when they'll let people know yes or no?

Good Luck
Saturday, February 13 2010 at 07:00 PM

Appreciate it...good luck to you as well!

FCSL
Tuesday, May 05 2009 at 08:00 PM

On your status checker did it ever show you a place for JD 1st deposit, JD final deposit, and tuition? Thanks for your help. Good luck on the rest of your cycle, we have similar numbers and are applying to a lot of the same schools. I wish you nothing but the best.

DAYTON
Monday, June 26 2006 at 08:00 PM

I called last week as well. The admission lady seemed to be shocked as to why a decision hadnt been rendered for me by now...She ended up saying well you should know any day now.

Dayton
Tuesday, May 05 2009 at 08:00 PM

I did not do a FAFSA for UD. I have basically been in the dark and I really don't want to call just because I don't want to hear any bad news. Anyway, good luck you, and I will be checking your updates. Thanks for your help.

Waiting game
Saturday, June 27 2009 at 08:00 PM

It's so ridiculous that these schools make you wait like this, especially when a seat deposit is due at ASL on April 1.

Dayton
Thursday, February 11 2010 at 07:00 PM

I received a large, white envelope with a letter indicating I had been admitted. It also contained various other materials about admissions. I did not get any e-mails/calls--just snail mail. Good luck!

Nothing yet from dayton i take it?

Equal Frustration
Thursday, March 18 2010 at 08:00 PM

Good luck with your journey. I understand your frustration! Who knows maybe we will end up at Dayton or ONU together! Let me know when you hear a decision!

Dayton??????
Monday, June 26 2006 at 08:00 PM

any news from good ol dayton?

Dayton
Sunday, November 22 2009 at 07:00 PM

I just received a letter in the mail from them today saying saying that they waitlisted me. I applied back in November

Capital
Thursday, March 18 2010 at 08:00 PM

If you don't mind me asking, what does your Capital ticker status say?

Capital
Thursday, March 18 2010 at 08:00 PM

Thanks so much! They just changed the status online so I am waiting for my letter as we speak (or type). I applied to Appalachian today and hopefully they will provide me with the same great news you received!

Thursday, December 10 2009 at 07:00 PM

thanks for the feedback. im sure you will get into some schools. you certainly have the numbers. i hear you though. if i dont get in, im gonna have to figure something out becasue i need to do something new

Keep your head up
Thursday, December 10 2009 at 07:00 PM

Yea dont worry about FCSL. I asked them why I got dinged and they gave me a stupid response of how they have a lot of ppl to pick from with higher stats. The good news is that you got into Appalachin. I dont have one positive response yet. I decided to apply to a few more schools and will try again if i dont get into somewhere. this stupid economy has everyone running back to school. plus ppl with excellent scores are applying to easy schools to get more scholarship, while making it harder for you and I to get in. All i got to say is keep your head up and ull figure something out, whether it involves law school or not

Capital
Thursday, March 18 2010 at 08:00 PM

I was rejected from Capital today too :( Dayton and ONU are also taking forever with my application.

Good Luck
Saturday, March 13 2010 at 07:00 PM

Hey, I was just reading your profile and wanted to say I hope everything works out okay for you.

FCSL
Tuesday, May 05 2009 at 08:00 PM

Yeah, I was a little bummed but nothin major. I called UD the other day to notify them of an e-mail change and my file is still in review as well. My guess is that there won't be any movement on it until April 15th or later. Just speculation but thats usually the day when the seat deposits are due for most schools so I am just hoping something comes up in the next two weeks. Good Luck!

UD
Tuesday, May 05 2009 at 08:00 PM

I'm taking it that you have no news yet?

UD
Tuesday, May 05 2009 at 08:00 PM

Nope. The deadline for their seat deposit is thursday so if I don't hear anything in the next two weeks, i am going to demand some answers!!!

UD
Thursday, March 18 2010 at 08:00 PM

I called Dayton on Thursday and they said they were behind where they would ideally like to be in their application process. I asked when they would know a decision on my application and they said a few weeks. Since you applied before me I'm assuming you will be receiving your decision shortly.

ONU
Thursday, March 18 2010 at 08:00 PM

Interesting! My status ticker did change on May 3rd as well! I just recently sent a letter to Charlotte of continued interest so I already have a draft I can go off of if my letter brings semi-good news as well. Be sure to let me know what happens! I'm planning on calling Dayton on Monday, so I'll let you know if they provide me with any quality insight regarding how much longer it will be until we hear an update.

ONU Continued
Thursday, March 18 2010 at 08:00 PM

PS ONU had 100% bar passage of their students taking the exam this year 100% Thats incredible!

capital
Monday, December 21 2009 at 07:00 PM

bdacious - yea it did. I got mine in 5 days, but if you haven't received yours after 10 business days I'd give them a call.

Thursday, March 18 2010 at 08:00 PM

So are you thinking of withdrawing from all schools and not going to law school?

ONU Continued
Thursday, March 18 2010 at 08:00 PM

Hey my ONU status changed to waitlist accepted. Has yours change from decision made?

ONU Continued
Thursday, March 18 2010 at 08:00 PM

Did you send ONU a continued interest letter?

School Updates
Thursday, March 18 2010 at 08:00 PM

I called ONU on Monday to see what "Waitlist Accepted" meant and no one returned my call. Go figure that seems to be the trend with all of these law schools. Dayton returns calls half of the time, and ONU and District always send me to voice mail. I also called Dayton and they said I was still in review with the committee so it could be 6-8 additional weeks. It was 6 weeks ago the last time I called. Oie. I feel like they are waiting to see how many people with an LSAT above 150 are accepting before they notify anyone under 150. Who knows its just my personal theory :) So what is your current game plan?

ONU
Thursday, March 18 2010 at 08:00 PM

Well its June 1st and I haven't heard anything from ONU.. lol what about you?

ONU/UD
Thursday, March 18 2010 at 08:00 PM

Thanks for the update! I received an email from ONU late on June 1st stating that I would be notified of acceptance or rejection on June 15th. Oktoberfest! That is awesome! I'm 70% German and cannot wait to go there some day. Well best of luck with whatever avenue life leads you to and I hope it allows you to see your niece and nephew soon!

Congrats
Tuesday, May 27 2008 at 08:00 PM

Congrats on the waitlists and again on appalachian! I will be going to cooley-ann arbor w/scholarship.. Hope you have some good options!

UD
Thursday, March 18 2010 at 08:00 PM

I received wait list information from Dayton today

ONU
Thursday, March 18 2010 at 08:00 PM

I called Dayton on Monday before orientation started and no one bothered to call me back. Frustrating... Clearly I didn't make the cut! Have you received any phone calls from ONU recently?
