Additional info & updates

Update 29 Apr.
Finally got the ding from NYU. Cycle is over; all I can do is hope for a miracle from Columbia. Best of luck to everyone still waiting and see you in the Fall.
...

Update 23 Apr.
Rejection from UCLA today. CA really hated me. Now only waiting for NYU. Will send a second LOCI and a 4th (!!!) LOR to Columbia to try to claw my way off of reserve.
...

Update 09 Apr.
Starting to get decisions from CA schools -- ding from USC, waitlist at Hastings. Just waiting for two more schools and my cycle is "over"?
...

Update 26 Mar.
- Got ding letter from UPenn. Par for the course.
- Weird acceptance letter from Rutgers-C today. Apparently they put me on WL because they needed time to figure out scholarships?
- Drafting LOCI for Columbia (I love you!) today. Stuff is happening at work that I can put some meaty, juicy updates in there.
...

Update 22 Mar.
Denial from Fordham via status checker. Meh.
...

Update 19 Mar.
Small envelope from Columbia...turned out to be a "reserve"?! I am going to write the most beautiful LOCI; I'm beginning to tear just thinking about it O_O
...

Update 18 Mar.
- I can't believe it's almost the end of March and I haven't heard from 7 schools, most of which I should probably be straight-dinged?
- Received scholarship info from Brooklyn, about 25k/year.
- Rutgers seat deposit date is looming :P
...

Update 10 Mar.
Received U. Hawaii acceptance package yesterday. When I first decided to go to law school, I was dead set on Hawaii. But now that I know how regional "lower ranked" schools are, I don't know...anyway it's still hard to say no to Hawaii!
...

Update 06 Mar.
- "On hold" at Cardozo? More annoyed than surprised, though I guess I will send a LOCI.
- Ding at UW. Actually pretty sad about this one :(
...

Update 05 Mar.
- Got Rutgers-Newark acceptance package yesterday. 10k/year but I'm thinking that the gpa min may be a little steep?
- Finally went into review at Penn. Hold on, what is that I hear in the distance? Is that the faint sound of a bell, dinging?
...

Update 03 Mar.
Ding at Berkeley. Seems like they had a massacre today, not surprised. I was prepping myself for the ding ever since I submitted.
...

Update 02 Mar.
Waitlisted at Rutgers-Camden? I'm surprised, but I was secretly hoping they had lost my app and I could ask for my $60 back. :P
...

Update 27 Feb.
- Got Temple acceptance package yesterday w/ scholarship info. 15k/year - not bad!
- Status checker changed to "Decision" at UW and letter is in the mail. The wait is gonna kill me ><
...

Update 25 Feb. (Ash Wednesday!)
In at the following:
18 Feb. - Brooklyn via email
24 Feb. - Rutgers Newark via email

Now I just got to hope I get offered some $ somewhere...
...

Update 17 Feb.
In at Temple via status checker! My first decision!!
* ( ^ - ^ )/ *
...

Update 12 Feb.
Final few completes trickling in:
22 Jan - Hawaii (!!) via postcard received 10 Feb.
11 Feb - UCLA via email

All my documents are in at Brooklyn according to their "document checker," not sure if they send out official "completes." No idea what's going on at Rutgers Camden.
...

Update 05 Feb.
Complete at NYU via email, finally!
...

Update 03 Feb.
Haven't heard from anyone! Still zero contact from Hawaii, UCLA, Camden; probably will email them soon to find out what's up. In review at Berkley since 1/27.
...

Update 28 Jan.
27 Jan - complete at U Penn (email)
27 Jan - "In review" at Univ. Washington (status checker)
...

Update 27 Jan.
A few more completes:
21 Jan - Rutgers Newark (email)
26 Jan - Univ. Washington (email)
26 Jan - USC (email)
...

Update 17 Jan.
Completes starting to trickle in:
14 Jan - Hastings (email)
16 Jan - Berkeley (status checker)
17 Jan - Temple (status checker)
...

Update 12 Jan.
Fordham Complete 09 Jan. according to Online Status Checker. That was fast!
...

Update 09 Jan.
Well, that was a spectacular waste of time. Managed to get the SAME SCORE on Dec. LSAT. Looks like I won't need an addendum at least, ah well.

Will finish up submitting the the rest of my applications today, then on to financial aid!
...

Update 01 Dec.
*sigh*
Less than a week until retake. Trying to get pumped and focus on the 176 I got on my last PT.
...

Update 26 Oct.
Never mind...I'm in for December.
...

Update 25 Oct.
Obviously I'm pretty upset about my LSAT, after four grueling months of prep I scored well below my PTs. I've decided not to retake though, as I won't have any time to prep between now and December, and I'm set on applying this cycle.
...
Intro
I've been living and working in Japan, where I now work for a rather large video game company. On the side I do a lot of editing and translation, and I am an active blogger at a couple well-known Japan and/or video game related websites.

LSAC pretty much swiped a whole tenth of a point from my GPA, but I think I've been pretty industrious since undergrad and I'm hoping to strike back with my LSAT, which I am taking in Tokyo on Oct. 5.

Best of luck to you too! Any idea if international scores will come early, on time, or late? I'm getting antsy.

Monday, June 23 2008 at 08:00 PM

Thanks! Good luck getting your applications completed. I've been pretty (OK, very) delinquent about mine...

Why on Earth is 'dozo being so weird this cycle? I'm held too... Grats on reserve at Columbia! Go you! You must have some amazing softs.

Thursday, November 27 2008 at 07:00 PM

I'm not in at Fordham yet, but I did find out what was up with Cardozo. I visited today, and spoke with an adcomm. Apparently a hold is halfway between acceptance and WL, and we will be hearing back after the deposit deadline on April 20th!

'Grats on Rutgers! Come out and post on TLS. I am OperaSoprano, of course! I have a big mouth, and a tendency to type first and think later... I am working on this... Good luck! Are you planning a retake in June, by any chance?
