Additional info & updates

Received a plethora of fee waivers. So I'm going to apply everywhere, what's the worst that could happen. Too all my fellow future class of 2015 J.D. graduates do not let anything impede your dreams. Remember that with God you can achieve anything - Philippians 4:13

I'll keep you all posted on my progress this cycle. Good luck and God bless.

11/16/11 - Sent out all my applications except for a one or two which will go out today. Now the waiting time begins. No worries though, I know I'll end up at the perfect school for me because God will guide me there.

11/16/11- Under Review at Berkeley, Duke, Cardozo, and OSU.
It has officially begun!

11/17/11 - Under Review at W&L. Supposed to get a decision December 2

12/1/11 - First Acceptance!!! In at W&L via email. All praise be to God! Hopefully, there is more good news coming soon!

12/6/11 - Accepted at William and Mary via email. Accepted to OSU - Moritz via phone call. So far so good. Praying for T14 soon!

1/8/12 - First Waitlist via email from GWU. Not mad, its better than an outright reject. We shall see what happens.

1/13/12 - Accepted to Northwestern via email!!! Waitlisted at Chicago! God is Awesome. So far so good.

1/17/12 - Admitted to Syracuse via email! This is turning out to be a wonderful cycle.

1/24/12 - Waitlisted at UVA via email. Not bad. Patiently waiting for the second half of my apps to come in. Continuing to pray for good news. God knows where he wants me to go. Hopefully I hear Him clearly. Decisions, Decisions

1/26/12 - Accepted to Cardozo via phone call. Granted as a Nathaniel Scholar providing FULL TUITION all three years! Also received emails on scholarships at OSU and W&L. Thank God for all he is doing in this cycle.

1/26/12 - Accepted at Howard via email and granted a $20,000 per year scholarship! The Lord is truly blessing me. I pray that I hear his calling to where it is I am supposed to attend.

2/7/12 - Waitlisted at Penn. These wait lists are kind of and odd position to be in. Oh well, God knows what he is doing. And we continue to move through the cycle. Almost complete!

2/13/12 - And there it is. Today is rejection day. Received rejection letters or emails from Georgetown, Columbia, and Yale. Must not have been meant for me to be there. Ah well. Only a few more decisions left to hear. And then it is really time to decide where I will be!

2/22/12 - Waitlisted at Duke. It is wait list city for the majority of the T14 lol. Ahh well. We will see what they turn into. Seventeen down, Three to go!

2/24/12 - Accepted at Fordham via email. I am excited. I really love this school. Only two decisions left to go! All Thanks be to God for all He has done so far.

3/6/12- Dinged at Stanford. No real surprise there. Only one school left to go. Chicago is looking like it will be my new city. Almost decision time.

3/8/12 - Accepted at Berkeley! This is amazing. I am really excited about the decisions that I have available to me. My cycle is complete. Now it is time for one of the most important decisions that I will ever make in my life. I pray I hear God clearly, and I will keep my profile updated to let everyone know where I decide to attend. Good luck everyone with your decisions. God bless.

4/24/12- So after receiving all of my financial aid packages and going on a few visits the inevitable no brainer choice for me is UCB. I am so excited to have an opportunity to attend such an amazing law school with so much scholarship money.

FOR ANYONE THAT HAS ANY DOUBTS PLEASE READ OVER MY PROFILE AND SEE THAT WITH HARD WORK, DEDICATION, AND MOST OF ALL FAITH IN GOD, THAT ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. GOD BLESS

I love your positivity! Something this site is seriously lacking! Well, that and people that don't have mustard seed faith. Nonetheless, good luck on your cycle! :)

hey

Btw,are you retaking in December? with your GPA raising your score by a few points would help a lot probably.

Whats good

You remind me of myself with the positivity on the profile. We have similar numbers also, but I'm still in undergrad. Good luck bro, all the best!

Good Luck...

Good luck with everything. Your attitude is giving me some hope and I look forward to seeing how well you do!

You're more than welcome!

I try to stay positive and spread positive vibes to others. This process is already stressful enough without the idiots that troll profiles spewing their ignorance and negativity. Nonetheless, thanks for your words of encouragement and your support! I'll be watching your profile! :)

Best wishes

You have had an awesome cycle so far! I can only hope for the same! Also, I completely agree with what you said about the predictor! It is wrong often usually for the best though! Good Luck on the rest of your cycle!

Congrats

on your cycle! I pray good things come your way! Keep God first and that should be the case :) We applied to similar schools, so hopefully they will all turn out for us how they should.
