Additional info & updates

I realize I don't have a very strong LSAT score, and am disappointed that my UGPA is significantly higher than my LSDAS gpa, but I am confident that I will be accepted somewhere I want to go.

Scholarships are per year.

11/10/08-Just finishing up my personal statement. Intend to send applications within next few days. Waiting on one LOR.

12/02/08-Finally finished my personal statement. Got pretty busy with school and didn't finish when I originally would have liked to. Have it attached to each application and will review and send within next few days.

12/05/08-Sent all applications electronically today.

12/08/08-All my electronic applications have been received by the law schools. All except Barry and Florida Coastal have requested my law school report, and five of the schools have processed my law school report.

12/09/08-All except Barry and Florida Coastal have requested/processed my law school report.

12/10/08-Have received online status check information from both FSU and Nova. I can see what the majority of my free time will be spent doing now! :) Also, Barry has requested my law school report. Now just waiting on Florida Coastal (which seems to be taking an extremely long time, especially compared to the others).

12/11/08-Barry has processed my law school report. Still waiting on Florida Coastal to request/process.

12/13/08-Florida State online status checker states today that I went complete on the 9th. Excited to have one down!

12/15/08-Received acceptance letter in the mail from St. Thomas dated the 11th, as well as a scholarship! Can't believe how quickly they got back to me. Definitely nice to have that first one! Also received an online status checker from Stetson today.

12/16/08-Nova application status check states that I am in review! Also, Florida Coastal requested my law school report today. Finally! I was getting kind of nervous!

12/17/08-Received online status checker from Florida. States that all required documents have been received. Florida Coastal law school report was also processed today.

12/26/08-Received acceptance letter in the mail from Florida Coastal dated the 23rd, along with a scholarship! All had been quiet for over a week, so it was great to hear something!

01/05/09-Received rejection letter from Miami today. The first one stings. Hoping I still have a chance at a ranked law school.

01/07/09-Stetson online status checker states today that my file has been submitted for review. Super nervous about this one!

01/12/09-In at Nova Southeastern via email!

01/24/09-Received acceptance letter in the mail from Barry today, along with scholarship information!

01/27/09-UF online status checker states today that I am under review by committee.

02/06/09-Just waiting. All status checkers are the same: still only complete at FSU and under review at Stetson and UF.

02/07/09-Received letter from St. Thomas raising my scholarship to $7500 per year.

02/24/09-Stetson status checker shows today that a decision has been mailed.

02/26/09-UF online status check has changed from "under review by committee" to "under review; decision pending." Not quite sure what the difference is.

02/27/09-Received rejection letter from Stetson. Pretty disappointed, and surprised that it wasn't even a waitlist considering I had been under review for almost 2 months.

03/05/09-Finally an update from FSU. Status check states today that I am under review.

03/06/09-FSU status checker states today that a decision has been made and will arrive by mail. UF status checker shows that a decision letter was mailed.

03/09/09-Received rejection letter from UF.

03/13/09-Received rejection letter from FSU, along with the speech about possibly transferring after my first year elsewhere. Is that supposed to make me feel better? haha! Now just waiting to hear from FIU...not sure why they are taking so long.

04/02/09-Finally heard from FIU, and my application has been put on hold. I guess that's better than a rejection, but now it just means more waiting.

good luck to you as well...I want to attend Marquette and Florida Coastal for sports law, and Ole Miss for the cheap in state tuition, however, Ole Miss and Marquette are long shots for me with the low LSAT score...I guess we'll see what happens

Barry and Nova
Tuesday, October 14 2008 at 08:00 PM

These are all the ways you can get a fee waiver for Barry.. As far as Nova, I'm not so sure my application is waived yet, I thought it was but it shows an outstanding balance, so I e-mailed them. LSAT Fee Waiver Those applicants who received a fee waiver for the LSAT will automatically be granted a fee waiver from Barry Law. Please provide documentation of this fee waiver from the Law School Admissions Council along with your other application materials. Pell Grant Recipients If you will graduate from college during the 2006-2007 academic year and you received a Pell Grant, just provide a copy of your college financial aid award letter. Barry Law will automatically waive your application fee. Other Financial Need If your financial circumstances are dire to the point that you need financial assistance for your application fee of $50, please provide a one-page addendum stating the situation at hand. Please include any additional documents that support your position (for example: tax records). Barry Law will consider your request. If we do not approve the request, we will let you know that your application fee is due prior to an admissions decision. Alumni Fee Waiver Barry University alumni of the law school, undergraduate, or other graduate program can sign the alumni waiver form on your behalf. This waiver will be approved regardless of your financial circumstances. This is a courtesy to Barry alumni on your behalf. View and print the alumni fee waiver form. Student Waiver If you will graduate from Barry University (undergraduate or other program) in the next year, Barry Law will waive your application fee.

after my report was requested, i heard back within 4 or 5 days offering an acceptance for the spring semester...congrats on your safety school!!!

Thanks
Monday, October 27 2008 at 08:00 PM

Thanks for the comment. Congrats on your acceptance to St. Thomas!!! Good luck on the rest of your cycle.

Thanks
Monday, October 27 2008 at 08:00 PM

I was shocked on how fast I heard back from Miami. I totally wasn't expecting to be accepted. Hopefully you will hear back from them soon. Good luck!!!

Sunday, December 07 2008 at 07:00 PM

Hey, it looks like we have the same exact numbers and are applying to some of the same schools. I hope I fair as well as you did at FL Coastal. Good luck with the rest of your applications. =)

FL Coastal
Sunday, December 07 2008 at 07:00 PM

Did you get an e-mail from FL Coastal about your application being complete before your acceptance letter?

FCSL
Sunday, December 07 2008 at 07:00 PM

I heard by e-mail that I am in with a $7000 scholarship and that my letter is in the mail. Are the scholarships per year or by semster? I figure that it's per year. I'm so excited to have the first acceptance.

Nova
Sunday, December 07 2008 at 07:00 PM

Congratulations on your acceptance to Nova!

Sunday, December 07 2008 at 07:00 PM

(Sorry to keep asking you application questions.) I was trying to decide whether or not to go ahead and apply to Stetson. What do you think the chances of getting in are with our scores and GPAs? I'm trying to decide if I would just be throwing away $50 or if it's a real possibility.

Saturday, July 12 2008 at 08:00 PM

Hey, just stopping by the say give you my best wishes, it seems as though we have been accepted to the same three law schools, which of the three would you prefer? Good Luck on the rest of the cycle. Sincerely, AM

Sunday, December 07 2008 at 07:00 PM

I was just looking at the Barry page and saw that you had been accepted. Congrats numbers twin!!

Sunday, December 07 2008 at 07:00 PM

I don't know what's going on with my FSU app. I e-mailed them and haven't heard anything. I guess I may need to go ahead and call. It still says incomplete, but they have cashed the check (which was sent with my residency form and cert letter) and have my LORs, which were sent with my main report. My status has said incomplete since 12/04/08, but some of the stuff on the status is from a later date. If it doesn't change by early next week, then I will call them. I applied to FSU before I got my score back, and assume they will just send me a rejection letter. I do really hope we can get into Stetson though. I don't care about a scholarship there, just about getting in. It would be nice to have the option of going to a T-2 school.

Saturday, July 12 2008 at 08:00 PM

I would have to say at this point Florida Coastal just because they have shown the most interest and they have raised my scholarship from 5 to 10 thousand a year. They seem very interested in the people they accept. I will wait for the cycle to end before making a decision.

Nova status checker
Tuesday, December 30 2008 at 07:00 PM

Hey congrats on this cycle. how did you get on to the nova status checker? it won't let me create a user id :-) thanks

Thanks
Tuesday, December 30 2008 at 07:00 PM

Thanks for the info on Nova. YOu look like you are having a good cycle. I would not worry about lsat, 150 is within the average range. The lsat was the worst nightmare i ever endured. i studied so much, i cannot even look at another prep book or anything again!!!!

Yay!
Friday, January 30 2009 at 07:00 PM

So...I'm done with my profile!

Barry
Sunday, December 07 2008 at 07:00 PM

How long did it take for your Barry application to go from decision to you getting your acceptance letter?

FSU
Sunday, December 07 2008 at 07:00 PM

I found out from FSU that mine is not complete because they need a record of a dismissed underage drinking charge from 2001, so I'm in the process of attaining it. I'm assuming rejection from FSU, but perhaps it is possible, especially since, like you're saying, they aren't auto-rejecting us 150ers.

Stetson
Sunday, December 07 2008 at 07:00 PM

I just got an e-mail that my Stetson application is finally complete and has been submitted for review. Is that what yours has been this whole time or are they now reviewing a lot of the applications?

FSU
Sunday, December 07 2008 at 07:00 PM

I have sent everything FSU asked for so I should be complete now. Let's see what happens with the 150's there. =) Have you heard anything else from them or has it just said "complete" this whole time?

FSU
Sunday, December 07 2008 at 07:00 PM

Yep. I just checked it and FSU says decision mailed. With my application to Campbell, they reviewed it, put it on hold, and are reviewing it again. I guess FSU knew pretty quickly what they wanted to do.

FSU
Sunday, December 07 2008 at 07:00 PM

My letter came today too. I just moved, and changed my mailing address to my fiance's parent's house, so I haven't opened it yet. I figured it had to be a rejection letter. Oh well, we both have a few opyions to choose from. =) Do you know yet where you are going or one you're favoring? I'm pretty sure that I'm going to FL Coastal.

Monday, June 02 2008 at 08:00 PM

so where are you thinking about going now???

Stetson
Sunday, December 07 2008 at 07:00 PM

I just got my stetson rejection, which I was pretty much expecting...lol.

Sunday, December 07 2008 at 07:00 PM

(in response to your last post on my wall:) Is Nova closer to Tallahassee? or do you not live in Tally anymore? I considered applying to Nova, but thought FL Coastal was the closest law program to Tally. It's too bad that there isn't another program very close to Tally besides FSU. However, I'm getting excited about FL Coastal. It's been my favorite for program for most of the cycle because they have an environmental law certificate and it looks like a really nice learning atmosphere. I paid my seat deposit yesterday, so it is starting to feel real. =)

Monday, June 02 2008 at 08:00 PM

Thanks! its not 100% yet....im sending my deposit to FAMU also. if they get full accreditation then i might go there...for financial reasons and my family is in orlando. We will see...good luck with FIU, i was extremely disappointed when i got rejected.

Tuesday, March 24 2009 at 08:00 PM

Why wait for FIU? Nova is a better school, and they place extremely well South Florida and own the Ft. Lauderdale market. UM dominates Miami and FIU barely has any alumni because their law program is only a couple of years old. If you want to practice in Northern Florida than go to Florida Coastal (congrats on the scholly). If you want to do South Florida do Nova. You won't regret it. Congrats on your acceptances!

Stetson
Friday, January 30 2009 at 07:00 PM

Hi there, just wondering. Why was Stetson your first choice? Does it have anything to do with the area? I have heard it's really nice. GOOD LUCK on FIU :)

first choice
Friday, January 30 2009 at 07:00 PM

UF was my first choice :(. I was also rejected but oh well. Now just waiting on a few more so I can decide where i'm headed in august!

waitlisted
Tuesday, December 30 2008 at 07:00 PM

Wow I cannot believe they waitlisted you. did they send you a letter or call you?

St. Thomas
Monday, April 06 2009 at 08:00 PM

Hi! Let me know if you decide to go to St. Thomas University. I chose that school and start in the fall. Best of Luck!

Tuesday, March 24 2009 at 08:00 PM

Florida Coastal and Nova are good schools. You should stop the worrying and start preparing to go to school to one of those. Or you can retake the LSAT and apply to law school next year. Goodluck!
