sc5mu93 (2022-2023)

I'm only applying for part-time admission at all of the above schools. I have eight years of experience working full time as a Software Developer and plan on continuing that job through school while supporting my family. I am interested in pursuing IP law.

1/12 - Everything is done on my end. The waiting game begins.

2/7 - Accepted at Pacific today! It's a great feeling even though it's one of my last picks. I'm learning more about Sacramento and I like what I see so far so we'll see. I'm admitted with honors - more info to come on scholoarship money.

2/14 - Got a call from Loyola saying I was accepted! I was at the dentist and checked my voicemail when I left! 2 for 2! Somehow I don't expect this pattern to continue but my fingers are crossed.

2/19 - Got an email from Denver ... accepted! My wife is from there so that's really exciting.

Got home and found a rejection from American. I wasn't holding my breath but still just slightly sad. I guess this means that Mason is probably out too.

2/21 - Waitlisted at DePaul today. Hmmm...

2/23 - I knew it was a reach but I was rejected from Mason today. I have now learned to decipher the sound of the mailman's truck versus any other truck driving up my street.

3/17 - Waitlisted at USF. Small envelope with a lot of stuff in it so they fool you! Also FINALLY went complete at Seattle.

3/20 - Accepted at Stetson. Large envelope. Side note: checked online status tracker earlier in the week, which said 'decision mailed'. Mid week, I got an email from the admissions dept titled 'Great News from Stetson Law' with a blank message body. I emailed back expressing my confusion, and I was told I was emailed that in error. Weird. ;) This whole process has been crazy.

3/25 Seattle's online checker says "Decision Mailed" so the freaking out begins. I've heard from others that it can still take a while to receive the news in the mail. This is a big one for me and I'm really hoping to get accepted. My wife's family all lives there so this would be a blow to not get admitted. Also finally got around to formally Withdrawing from USF. It just wouldn't work.

3/29 - Waitlisted at Seattle for PT. Not quite sure what that means considering their PT program is a summer entrance. Hope they figure out what their PT class is going to look like soon. Accepted at San Diego which makes me feel better. Being that I have to work, job prospects for me in San Diego are pretty good.

4/04 - Rejected at Santa Clara by small envelope. bah! Still waiting on my Texas locals: SMU and Houston. I hate how long this is taking.

4/20 - Waitlisted at UH. Ugh. I wish this would all be a lot more clear cut.

4/21 - LOCI sent out to UH. Cost of living in Houston and the cost of UH is too good to give up on.

4/23 -Rejected by SMU. Looks like I'm moving somewhere. I wish they could have come up with this a little sooner though.

5/05 - FINALLY rejected by GState. Guess I wasnt invited to their Cinco de Mayo party! Took their sweet time though.

5/13 - Houston rejected off the waitlist. Visiting Denver and SanDiego this weekend. I should narrow it down between them after the trip, and then wait for seattle.

06/03 - Withdrawn from USD. Attending DU unless Seattle comes through soon off the WL.

06/09 - SU sent an email saying they aren't pulling from the WL anymore for the SUMMER entrance but they want to keep me on the FALL entrance, which will be decided at the latest one week before classes start in August. I feel like an ugly prom date. At this point, while not formally WD from SU, I'm making plans to attend DU. Sent in my second deposit today.
