Additional info & updates

11/25/08 - I know I'm applying to a lot of schools, but I'm still unsure as to where I want to go. I figure I'll see where I get in and that will help make the decision for me.

I have three schools left to apply to. They're all highly unlikely, but I'm only applying once so why not give it a shot.

12/09/08 U Denver and SLU both say File Under Review....Hoping to hear something from someone before Christmas break

12/10/08 Call today from the admissions office at SIUC. Accepted and scholarship information in the mail. Not my top choice, but SO excited to be going to law school. It's a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. 15 more to go...

12/12/08 In at Indiana-Indianapolis. Mid-size envelope with nice letter and seat deposit information. It was really quick....2 weeks for a decision. 14 to go...

12/17/08 Got a nice email today from UMKC informing me of my admission and letting me know I would be getting a formal call from the Dean of Admission soon. I assume a letter in the mail as well. Sweet.

12/17/08 In at Mizzou with small white envelope. Letter said financial info to follow. So excited to get into one of my top choices.

12/19/08 My status checker at SLU changed from File Under Review to Decision Mailed, Letter to Follow Shortly. I emailed to try and find out the decision, but the woman told me they don't give out decisions via phone or email. Guess I'll just have to wait.

12/26/08 In at John Marshall via large envelope. Received $30,000 Dean's scholarship over 3 years. Not my first choice, but I do love the idea of living in Chicago.

12/27/08 IN AT SLU via large envelope!!! Couldn't be happier. It's definitely a front runner. It's #1 in health law and I've just heard really good things about the school. I'm going to tour January 10th so we'll see. I know Mizzou is ranked better, but I just can't picture living in Columbia.

6 for 6 so far, but the rejection letter will be coming soon I'm sure =)

1/07/08 Rejected at Depaul University. Small white envelope. Not surprised as I've been following this site. I've pretty much decided where I'm going. Just waiting for financial aid information and any complete surprises.

Anyone else going to the open house at SLU this weekend (Jan 10)?

1/23 Letter in the mail from Indy. They're offering me $13000/yr but I have to stay an out of state student. Happy for the free money, but not sure I like the idea of having to stay out of state.

1/25/09 in at Syracuse via large packet. I was sent a nice letter from the Dean along with a t-shirt and some additional information about the school. Gave me a $26,000/yr scholarship which comes out to be 60% of tuition. Pretty nice. :)

1/26/09 Waitlisted at Loyola. They said they don't make waitlist decisions until April. Hmmm....I'll have to think about this one. At least it's not an all out rejection

2/7/09 Rejected at NYU. There's a shocker :)

2/12/09 Scholarship from SLU came today. $30,000 over three years. shrug.
___________________________________________________________
And now an open letter...
Dear law schools from which I have not heard anything,

Please just make a decision. It doesn't have to be good. It doesn't have to be nice. Just send it to me in the mail before March 1st.

Thank you.

Hey, good luck! We have very similar numbers and are applying to a lot of the same schools. Hope you have a great cycle!

Monday, July 07 2008 at 08:00 PM

I know, it's so expensive applying to schools... I don't know if I have a top 3. I like Denver, Marquette, Northeastern, and Mizzou all a lot though.

Monday, July 07 2008 at 08:00 PM

Do you have a top 3?

Suffolk
Monday, July 07 2008 at 08:00 PM

I thought about applying there, but decided not too. I'd love to someday live and practice in Boston and/or New York. Good luck on BU. Ugh, I'm getting so tired of waiting! I wish the schools would tell me know whether I'm in or not.

good luck!

we're applying to very similar schools and have very similar numbers! good luck this cycle!

SIU
Sunday, July 13 2008 at 08:00 PM

Congrats on SIU! It's my 2nd choice so hopefully all goes well this it. Good luck on the rest of your cycle!

congrats
Monday, July 07 2008 at 08:00 PM

on siu! it feels good to get one out of the way, right?

This website...
Monday, July 07 2008 at 08:00 PM

Yeah, this website kills my optimism sometimes too. UDenver is one of my top picks and I've seen some people with my numbers get waitlisted or rejected in the past cycles. It scares me...

Thursday, October 16 2008 at 08:00 PM

Hey, we have similar numbers and applied to a few of the same schools. Where's your #1?

SLU
Monday, July 07 2008 at 08:00 PM

My status checker went to decision on 12/05, well my status checker changed to 'decision made' on 12/05, I mean. I just got the packet yesterday though...so maybe it's Missouri's mail system? I don't know. I have no idea where I'm gonna go. I'm leaning towards Mizzou, but I like UDenver a lot, so it's hard to say. I'm sure you'll hear something from SLU soon!

Mizzou!!
Monday, July 07 2008 at 08:00 PM

Congrats! That's the main one I'm waiting on... okay and a couple of others.

SLU
Sunday, July 20 2008 at 08:00 PM

congrats on SLU!! It's one of my top choices as well and I love the city!

Sunday, July 20 2008 at 08:00 PM

I'm not dead set on a specialty yet, but am interested in health care law. The main reason I want to attend SLU and Indy though is for their regional reputations and I love both cities. Good luck on the rest of your cycle!

SLU
Monday, July 07 2008 at 08:00 PM

Congrats! Took the mail long enough to deliver that package, right?

Did you notice a fees section on your status checker come up before getting a decision. I am waiting to hear and today a fees section came up on my file, while my status is still under review
