ohcrap (2022-2023)

I'm very impressed that you got into DU. Nice work! I applied PT there and got rejected. I got the same "Alternative Admissions" letter from SU. So far you're the only one on LSN to get the letter that I have noticed. Good luck! I hope we both get it. As for you DU questions, I think the quality of life, location, and academic reputation are all above average.

sunshinebear: Thanks!! I would love to come visit Denver, though the logistics of it are the issue for me. The last time I was in that city was six years ago and I don't know anyone, don't know my way around, etc. My summer job this summer (hopefully) is going to be in Colorado so I'll have ample opportunities to go visit the school at that time. Also - can you tell me anything about grad student housing at DU?? contretemps: Thank you, I really enjoyed your profile. I sounds like we're in the same shitty situation right now. I wonder when SU will start deciding?? daniburhop: Thanks, good luck! Those of us doing the alt admissions thing at SU should all keep in touch so that when we find out we can share the info.

So I'm sitting here at work bored, cruising LSN (Yes, I am a dork), when I come across "ohcrap" and I have to see what that's all about. I really enjoyed your profile and big ups on DU!

ohcrap is what I said when I got my LSAT score, too. You are much braver than I am to actually post your #s. Thanks for sharing your story and your profile! :o)

Hey! I would LOVE any info on the school/area. For example, I want to find out what my options are for cheap apartments close to school. As a matter of fact, I have played hockey for about 17 years! I played college hockey for a year and loved it, but there's no way in hell I could make the UND hockey team. You're right though, I will definitely go to every game if I attend UND.

Denver is aa pretty decent city but Colorado is awesome. There is so much to do, and in the Colo area there are pleny of towns that highly recruit DU grads. There is a really cool district called LoDo, with awesome lofts, bars, food, and tons of entertainment. The ski areas are only 2 hours away and there is a mega REI.... I wish I was you my friend!

Hey no need to defend your acceptance to DU. Who knows why the school rejected me, maybe they thought that I was not a good fit for their program. I'm sure they had a reason, I just wish I knew what it was. But I am sure if you got in they had a good reason, and hey we will both be going to law school somewhere. The only reason that the DU rejection got to me is that I really want to work in Denver, and there are only two schools in the whole area. Congrats on your acceptance.

bubbles: yeah I understand, I only put my numbers up because I figured it was needed for me to tell my whole story. I've already had a few people post really rude things here (deleted) about how lucky I am because my numbers suck and the rest. The hell with it, I'll probably never meet most of these people so no harm in being honest. People on this website are truly obsessed with numbers! jen: thanks! Good stuff to know - I'm wicked into the outdoors (heck I work for the national park service in the summers) so Denver's proximity to Rocky Mountain National Park really has me excited about the hiking available. JCD: I understand, I only defended myself because of what ben and others have said. I didn't want anybody to feel bad or angry because I got in wich crappy numbers. Clearly DU doesn't regularly admit people with my numbers, as seen on this website.

'one more thing...' - How nice it must be for you to anonymously post random messages on people's profiles. My what a command of the King's language you have! If only I could write so eloquently.. If by 'rapped' you mean 'raped' - no, I haven't been raped, unless you count the interest rate on my car loan. As for my ethnicity, what part of 'caucasian', which is in my above profile as my race, don't you understand? Maybe I should just put 'white' instead, for those without a high school education who peruse this website. Caucasian=White. I don't know why I'm being considered for alternative admission at SU, though I'd imagine that they also consider your socioeconomic status, and considering I grew up poor (albeit white), I am probably being considered regardless of my race/ethnicity.

for the comment;) Congrats on Denver, you couldn't find a better place to go to law school, as long as you could squeeze in a few classes in between skiing and biking! Best of luck with seattle!

be hearing from SU alt-admissions in the next 3 weeks; i just wanted to wish you the best of luck!

I checked my on-line status. It was updated to show a decision was mailed on 3/21/06. I'm an alt-admit candidate, also. Not sure if the early decision (prior to April 15) is good or bad. Any change on your status today? Good luck!

jwsjd, I just checked it again right now and it still says "File Complete - Decision Pending". Good luck and please let me know as soon as you find out what they said.

for getting back to me. Wishing I had company on the "decision mailed" boat--if it is a positive one. I'm the low man on the totem pole, so maybe they are cutting me loose. I'll keep you posted. Good luck to you, too.

at SU. Guess I'll save money on rain gear. Good luck to you, and I would take Denver if I had the choice!

I feel the pain on the waiting. It's time to make a decision. I'm extremely impressed with Cooley and the environment there; especially, for being an older student. I'm 99.9% I am going there. I would take Denver even without the free room, if I had the choice. Good luck to you! You'll be a great addition to your class.

I've very a happy for you! It's great to hear when someone's dreams come true! Kick ass in law school and show them that we low LSAT scorers make great students!

Holy shit man, good for you. Thats fantastic! You seem like a funny guy who would add some levity to an otherwise boring Tort class on a rainy Tuesday morning in Seattle. Its a great town and a good school. I hope to see yo up there. Ill just look for the guy in the back who just got splashed by a puddle before coming to class and that smells a little, different. Congrats!

Thanks everyone! Dani: You'll get in, don't sweat it :) Lucky for you, you get to start in August instead of spending your summer in class like me! jwsjd: Thanks and good luck to you bcensoni: Sounds good - let me know what happens and maybe we can get a group together to socialize before classes start.

Good job! Send some luck my way... I am STILL waiting :)

Congrats on Seattle. You'll have to let me know what classes are like up there. I'll be starting in August but am excited. Maybe we'll bump into each other at some point in time.

I was wondering if you're still on this board and able to answer a few questions for me regarding Seattle U's alternative admission program. Please email me directly at gmail if you are willing to discuss it with me a bit. Thanks! Katy

if you get this, i'd love to discuss your experience at SU (i'm starting this summer--summer 2008 that is). beer/coffee's on me. peace.
