Additional info & updates

I went to an honors college with narrative evaluations. My LSDAS GPA is based on one year of joint enrollment at Georgia State University (my senior year of high school was completed there).
I've been working in the nonprofit community for the last 2 years, and am looking to get involved in public interest law in the Baltimore area.
I feel pretty good about my LORs since I went to a small school; I also have an LOR from my former boss who always gave me really good evaluations. I think my personal statement is pretty strong as well.
I got a full scholarship at UB, but already put a deposit down on UMD. I'm waiting to hear about money from them.

Narrative Evaluations
Thursday, September 08 2005 at 08:00 PM

I am sending them all my narrative evaluations, but I am definitely nervous about it. I attended New College, the honors college of Florida. A lot of other students from New College have gone to law school, though, so I am hoping that counts for something.

Rutgers Email

Rutgers emailed me an acceptance today; they said, "The Committee and the Deans at the Law School were very, very impressed with your outstanding personal statement." Hopefully that is a good sign!

YAY!!!!!

I just got a letter in the mail from UMD, dated 12/9/05m in a big envelope with "Congratulations!" on the front. Since it's my top choice, I will be going there and withdrawing my other applications shortly.

Online check?

Ummm...I don't know where you can check that online.

Congrats!

Congratulations on Umd & Rutgers - - both are great schools. Just curious...what did write about in your personal statement?

Personal Statement
Thursday, October 20 2005 at 08:00 PM

I wrote about my experience working in the non-profit sector and how I want to use law to work for positive change in society.

Thanks a lot for the message. I didn't get any aid, but getting the in-state tuition as a Maryland resident made the choice easy. Glad to be on board with you for next semester. I am so excited about the fall.

Congrats on Maryland

Congrats on Maryland. I'm gonna be joining you too in the fall. Really looking forward to it and I'll see you in a couple of months at orientation!
