I had to create a new profile becuase of a session problem with LSN. My old profile was ezvet09.

I started appling late in the cycle so I think that will hurt me at some schools. I'm definitely not happy with my LSAT score, but I really want to go to law school year so it is what it is. I have a lot of soft factors and some good LOR's. I've been in the military basically since high school with lots of experiences. I applying to a lot of schools, hopefully I can get in somewhere.

3/20- I got an offer from Appalachian School of Law to participate in their PASO program. Not sure if I will accept, depends on how the rest of my cycle turns out.

3/21- rejected at Batlimore, not sure how I feel about this one. its the flatout rejection of my cycle.

3/23- rejected at William & Mary, not shocked by this one, but man I hope things get better quick!

3/24- the TSU application checker said a decision had been made and a letter was mailed. Then I got an email from the financial aid department with a form attached that I needed to fillout and send back to the school. I do know if that means I was accepted. I guess I will just have to wait for the snail mail letter.

3/26- I got a decision letter via email from John Marshall, it said my application was reviewed and placed on hold. I was not yet accepted, rejected or waitlisted, but they would let me know there final decision. That seemed a little weird, but hey it not a rejection and at this point I'm OK with that!

3/28- Accepted at TSU. I the letter came today via snail mail. My first acceptance of the cycle. It feels good, but more importantly now I at least know I am going to law school!!!

4/1-Walisted at South Carolina. I wouldn't mind going there. I lived in Columbia, SC for 4 years. Well I guess I have to wait til the summer to hear from them. Anyone not planning to attend please withdrawn to make room for us other poor souls.

4/7- Rejected at American. I got the letter today not too suprised but every rejection sting little.

4/9 - Got an email for Widener say a decision had been made and to check the website. I wasn't sure what to expect. but when open the status checker it said "Good news, you have been accepted for admission to the Harrisburg campus.

Then I checked the mail and there was a letter from Charlotte. I had not heard anything from them since I applied. I was starting to think something happen to my application. The letter said I was accepted as a 1L student with a $5,000 scholarship. I'm kinda torn on this one. I grew up in Charlotte and love the city, but the school's tuition would still be more than TSU's even with the scholarship and I'm still a little worried about its accreditation. Anyone with any thoughs about Charlotte Law please let me know.

4/10 - Just came back from a visit to South Carolina. I had been to the campus many times when I lived in Columia, SC, but I wanted to show an interest and hopefully work my way off the waitlist. The tour went well. If anyone wants details just let me know.

4/11- I didn't check online until I came back from SC. When I did, I had received email fron FCSL say I was accepted and the letter and scholarship information would be mailed next week.

I was also accepted at Valparaiso via the online status checker.

This is great! Not only do I know I going to law school, but I have options! I really wasn't expecting much this cycle with my LSAT score. Now, I'm just waiting on a few more schools before I make my decision. NCCU seems to be taking the longest and that was one of the first places I applied.

4/20 - received email from Akron congratulating me on my acceptance followed by an email informing me that I would receive a $14,000 scholarship for the upcoming year. This along with the new in-state rules for veterans and my GI Bill, covers the entire cost of tuition. So this is pretty much a full ride at Akron!
Just checked the mail and found I was accepted at Cooley today via snail mail. Letter came in large brown envelope. I must say, my cycle is turning out better than I expected and whlie I am excited with the acceptances I have received, the waiting for my remaining schools is killing me! I know it is a long process, but I don't understand how some school can take so much longer than others.

4/21 Letter from Maryland. "Thank you for your interest, but we cannot offer you admissions in our upcoming class." Rejected

4/22 Received offical acceptance package from UAkron.

4/24 UDC status checker changed from "complete" to "decision rendered"

4/27- I got an email from NCCU saying my application is complete. What is going on with NCCU? Seven weeks for my application to go complete!!! Man! They were one of the first schools I applied. Then said it would be another eight week for a decision!!! Wow! I understand it is a long process, but waiting four months for decision seems a little extreme, especially when I have received decisions from almost all the schools I applied to after them.

4/28- received two letters today, one regular size envelope from UDC saying I was being placed on the waitlist and a large envelope from OCU with acceptance letter and viewbook. I thought I would be in at UDC. The admission process is so unpredictable.

4/29 - Rejected at Campbell via online status checker

05/11- I took a little vacation it was definitely good to get away. Just checking the mail everyday was starting to get stressful. I came back to two acceptance letters which is always good. One was from St. Thomas University and the other from Phoenix Law, but also two rejections at St. Mary%u2019s and Howard. So it looks like my cycle is almost over just waiting to hear from NCCU.
