Visitor Comments
Just got it...congrats on your acceptance!
Heh...I wish :)....I got that e-mail. I would love to go visit the school...we\\\'ll see if it works out. Congrats on your acceptance...I\\\'m stoked - W&L is a great school. I\\\'ve never been to virginia, but from what I know it seems like a really nice place.
Were you offered any scholarship money at SW?
Not yet, but that would be very nice :)
Congrats on the admits. How did you prepare for the lsat?
Thx...I did self prep...took lots of practice tests...didn't score as high as I did in practice tests....I improved 7 points over my blind diagnostic. If you have the money I'd recommend taking a prep course (I actually teach for Kaplan now)...if not, then I'd suggest taking lots of full length practice tests, and REALLY focus on why you missed the questions you missed and how to fix it so that you don't miss those types of questions in the future....don't worry about your scores along the way...the only score that matters is on the actual test day....use your mistakes as opportunities to figure out what you're doing wrong and how to fix it.
BTW...I did use "Nova's Master the LSAT"...costs 50 bucks and has three (maybe four?) full length real tests....useful for tips on diagramming and stuff like that, but definitely not a substitute for a prep course.
Was your ASU envelope thick or just a single page?
Well if I tell ya that it'll ruin the surprise for you :) It was fairly thick....four pages plus a return envelope. The postage was 56 cents.
W&L, Cardozo, and Washington U are all better schools -- why choose Utah over those? Don't get me wrong, Utah's a good school -- I'm just curious why it's so high on your list.
I just wanted to say congrats to a fellow Coug. Nice job on the LSAT - where were you when I was studying, huh? :P
Thx for the congrats marnster - and nice job w/ the Willamette scholarship!! LitDoc - My spouse refuses to move to Manhattan, and even though W&L and WUSTL are both awesome schools, I'm sort of a west coast kinda person and can't see myself moving way out there unless it were for like a T15 school. I love Salt Lake City, and there's a very good chance we'll end up settling somewhere in that area. If I had the money I'd love to go out to WUSTL and/or W&L to visit. As decision time gets closer I may just go to one or the other....W&L is my third contender right now I'd say....but a good visit could totally sway me. Everything I've heard about them says they're an awesome school w/ a very personal experience. Anyways...congrats on your acceptances LitDoc and you're great scholarships...I guess some schools really do look at stuff besides your Index.
congradulations on all your acceptances! i didn't write the "why michigan" essay intially, but sent it in around late february. i guess they just didn't want me. congradulations again: those are some awesome choices.
Oh I applied to quite a few reaches...they just won't be listed on here till I get a decision.
I wish I was...not enough money/time.
Congrats on all your acceptances and thanks for your suggestions. It's a little late in the game to apply to more schools and my bank account is empty from applying to so many schools. I'm going to wait it out and see what happens. Best of luck to you. Cheers!
Just because I've been accepted to other great schools doesn't mean I'm not going to BYU Law. I actually just visited this weekend and came away impressed. Rankings are important but not the deciding factor. Plus you can't beat the price!
There are still many reasons for me to consider BYU. Great school, price, location. I am still deciding on what will be best for me. Being accepted to higher ranked schools does not mean that I will not be attending BYU.
I wasn't actually telling ya'll to withdraw...I was just bringing the idea up so that if anybody was considering it, they might remember that it would help other people. Obviously I understand that rankings aren't everything...I've been accepted at higher ranked schools.
I'd withdraw, but I haven't made any decisions yet... I have a feeling that I may have gotten in at byu based on an inside connection rather than anything else.
Sorry but no early withdrawl from BYU...I'm waiting to see all my financial options. Even with BYU's rate hike and the lower award amount, it's still my cheapest option and I wouldn't have to setup two seperate households. Three year projected tuition costs: Indiana - Bloomington: $57,000 Washington & Lee: $52,650 William & Mary: $33,900 BYU: $31,200 So right now, W&L isn't close to my best financial option while BYU is. Plus, I still haven't heard back from Utah, GMU, or Alabama about financial aid and Michigan & UIUC are still AWOL. Still too many variable in the air for me to make a decision. I suspect more acceptance will begin to flow after April 1st (when the seat deposit for the first spurt of acceptances is due).
Thanks :)
Congrats on BYU. You have to love $7200. I considered applying but didn't want to get busted with a mocha.
Heh...yeah I can definitely understand not being really big on BYU if you aren't LDS....and I couldn't agree more about the $$$...it worked out very nice that my Church has a great law school that over the course of three years costs much less than one year at just about anywhere else :) I remember when I was in high school saying "boy...if I was Mormon I sure would go to BYU cause it's so stinkin cheap"...well, now I am and....I am! :D
Congrats on BYU, man. I just went and visited--very tempting.
Thanks :) Congrats on all your schools...I'm hoping to visit sometime soon, probably April.
Yes.
Any chance you'll start withdrawing from some schools soon?. Help us waitlisters out!!! :)
I did my undergrad there. Love the campus. After you graduate you'll miss it quite a bit. It really grows on you. Anyhow, congrats on getting into the Y. Go, Cougars!
I have withdrawn from almost all the schools I've been accepted to...that's what the "W" means.
Thank you very much! Congrats on your number one as well. I'm thrilled to be heading up to Provo...my wife went to school up there for two years, and I absolutely love that area of the country.
Congrats on your acceptances from a fellow UCLA high-LSAT low-GPA splitter! (My "F" was from this comparative literature course and was a lapsed incomplete. :-P )
Thanks :) You should go to GW.
I definitely applied to too many auto-admits that I knew I wasn't going to go to....in fact, I just applied to way too many schools in general.
how'd you manage to get all of those waivers? any advice to the rest of us?
The waivers are need-based...if you get a fee waiver for the LSAT, you get an automatic fee waiver at most law schools. My recommendation would be get the ball rolling early (eg NOW) on your LSAT studying, LORs, and PS. Your LSAT is by far the most important thing you can work on at this point, but don't underestimate the amount of time your Letters and PS will take.
Hey, how long did you study for the LSAT and how? Do you have any personal advice before I take it in 17 days? Thanks.
I am in incoming student at BYU I hope that you will get this message sometime in the near future. I found a message board dedicated to BYU Law and I was hoping that you could share some info about the school/teachers/your experience.
