Additional info & updates

Currently a paralegal in a law firm in Atlanta. Interned at the Department of Juvenile Justice and also worked in a law firm during undergrad. Excellent recommendations.

I took the LSAT again...anxiously awaiting the results! I am confident I did better than my previous score, but we'll see. This whole process is stressful to say the least.

I am going to apply to Georgia and LSU in addition to the other schools. I am fairly certain I will get rejected from Georgia, but I went there for undergrad and love Athens so much. LSU looks like a good choice as well and is more within my reach. Georgia State is still my top choice though because I live in Atlanta and really do not want to move!!

Got the December score, not that happy about it but at least it's an improvement. I'm not sure what to think at this point except I want to go to Georgia State. Fingers crossed!

I applied to Ole Miss after they sent a lookbook and a letter to me. Call me a sucker, but one more app fee will be worth it to broaden my options. I really want State though. Good luck to everyone!

Accepted to Mercer via snail mail (small envelope). Although it's not my first choice, I am really excited. I can't believe they decided so quickly! Now I know I can be in law school in August. 1-15-09

Under review at Samford via status checker! Hopefully some news soon...still waiting on GSU. 2-18-09

Under review by committee at GSU. Please don't ding me! 2-25-09

Decision mailed at Samford. 3-4-09

Yay Samford likes me! Acceptance via snail mail with a bright green immunization form. Now I need to go to an open house to check it out! 3-6-09

I called GSU Admissions to see what was up and they said a decision was made on 3-10 and should be in the mail any day now. I'm stressing out...here's hoping! 3-12-09

Just what I expected...ding at State. At least the waiting part is over! Boo....3-13-09

Now I don't know what I want to do. Ole Miss is a little too far away for me so I'm deciding between Samford and Mercer. If anyone has some thoughts or advice on that then let me know! 3-15-09

Visited Samford, LOVED it. Called in my deposit today. Also emailed Ole Miss withdrawing my application. I haven't heard from them yet, but I won't be attending regardless. If anyone is looking for a roommate at Samford, let me know! What a cycle! 3-31-09

Hey! What does your GState status say? I have heard mixed reviews about mercer. I have a friend who graduated from there (not top 10%) and got a good job... I don't know though. We'll see what happens with State.

Hey there! Any news on GSU? I'm still waiting, too. I guess they haven't straight out dinged us! LOL! Well, good luck!

thanks

The status checker just says decision made: admission not granted, or something like that. I think you have a decent shot. I think they are a little nicer to residents than non. I would have loved to move to Atlanta though. Oh well. Best of luck to you. PS Have you been to Mercer? If so, what's it like there?

Yay!!

I'm definitely leaning toward Samford- my family is already settled in Birmingham and I love it here. I hope you get some good news from GSU really soon!

Sorry to hear about State. Your choices are very solid, though. I'm really not sure how well Samford places in Georgia. I do know Cumberland grads are always in demand here. Have you seen Samford yet?

I was at Samford yesterday, sat in on a class and spent time with a 1L. I also paid my seat deposit, so it looks like I'll see you there in the Fall. I spent the last 4 days looking at housing, so if you need any info, please let me know. We have friends in the area that have been a big help to us!

Congrats on Samford! I'll be going there next fall as well, have you started your housing search?

Yay! Congratulations on taking the plunge! It feels good, doesn't it? There are tons of decent apartments close to the law school in Homewood and Vestavia. I'm not sure what rent would be, but it's a safe area (very important IMHO) and convenient. Congrats again!

Samford
Sunday, February 08 2009 at 07:00 PM

Hi! Yeah, I am still looking or wandering where to begin to look lol. What information did you get on where to live? I guess I'll need to go down again soon to look around. I'm excited too, I ready to get down there!

Samford
Sunday, February 08 2009 at 07:00 PM

Hey! I talked to an apartment agency today and they said I needed to come down ASAP to get my name on the waiting list for apartments! So I'm going down not this weekend but the next! Do you have an email that you check regularly - maybe we could talk some about everything! Hope all is well...

Congrats on your Samford decision, I will be attending there as well. Since you have visited there, do you have any reccomendations on where to live?

Hey there Panda! Do you have a facebook profile? We Cumberland Law people could start getting to know one another before school starts...
