Hey i sent in all of my applications in november and december, got my dayton response in only a few weeks and elon was only like a month ago. hope this helps and good luck!
Good luck on getting into Elon.I just got accepted there and I decided to attend. BTW my sister is also a Delta Zeta :)
Wow, I wish I had all of your extracurriculars/work experience. Good luck on your application cycle!!
I actually sent in my seat deposit to UALR this week, so I probably won't be in Ohio. I wish you the best on your cycle!
I received an email from Dayton saying my decision has been mailed and I should be receiving it in the next couple of days.
Hello! Thank you for the well wishes. I understand that I only have a slim chance at Case, but at this point the rejections are not phasing me haha. Good luck with everything.
Good call on not doing the AAMPLE programs. I did one at FCSL last year and it was a total waste of time and money. It made lots of people angry. Good luck on your cycle...the wait is killing me too.
I belong to a local sorority, Gamma Kappa Pi, and I'll definitely keep my Dayton status updated (possibly by the second at this point, lol) also good luck at CUA!
Hey the AAMPLE program was around 6 to 8 weeks from what I remember. You take two classes (at FCSL we took Negotiable Instruments and 4th Amendment) and the classes are online. You meet in a chatroom once a week for each class. The last week of classes you go to the respective school and take the test at the actual school. Something like 30 percent passed when I did it. Everyone felt ready for the tests but its pretty much a sham. It costs $3000 and you have to make at least a 2.5 average in both classes. Needless to say it was a wasted amount of time and money. Hope that helps. Tell your dad phi alpha ha.
It said Decision Rendered I believe. I was never that interested in going to Capital in the first place. I was digging through some old files and found my letter where they sent my status application stuff and I only checked it once. Hope all goes well for you the rest of the cycle.
What do you think your number one is right now?
Hey, all it said was "Review Complete & Decision Rendered", they don't seem to update their mailing status or fees either...
to answer your question, I applied from October 2009 to March 2010
My status checker said "Review Complete and Decision Rendered" and I got the letter in the mail 2 days later. Good luck.
Cleveland State was one of the first schools I heard back from. I think I sent my application around January 5th and got the acceptance and scholarship info about a month later. I'm about 90% sure I'll be at Capital so I am planning on withdrawling from most of my other schools today.
Good luck on your process. I understand how it feels to have a low LSAT. DO you have any real safety schools?
Hey there--OSU took about 11 or so weeks to get back to me after I applied. Dayton was more along the lines of 4-5 weeks. Good luck!
Keep your head up,and things will turn around for you. I have faith!!!
still crossing my fingers for you for Elon. Hope to see you there in the fall!
Oh my gosh how is your foot??
Hey is the sushi place you are talking about SUSHI REPUBLIC or WASABI SUSHI RESTAURANT? Your foot better heal up soon or you won't be able to balance very well on those sushi bar stools!
Hey...go to our elon law facebook page and think positive! ELON LAW CLASS OF 2013
I applied back in September and didn't hear back until March. Sorry.
Congrats on your 1st acceptance!!!!
Yeah. I mean, it took Case Western 8 weeks to get back to me with a waitlist. So maybe when they take their time it is a good thing?
Congrats on Appalachian School of Law! This is awesome!
Congrats on getting into Appalachian. I am accepted there also!! I can relate to so many of your updates...The anticipation is horrible! Anyway, maybe I will see you in Grundy!! Good Luck!
Hey who left the Elon Phone Call Comment? I'd like to ask you a few additional questions before I call. Thanks!
Good Luck on hearing from Elon...I'm sure if the seat deposits are down, then it will be good news...Happy Birthday :)
Says decision rendered and under status it says waitlist. They called and asked if I would interview, I called back to schedule it and they never returned my call. I didn't follow up because I had already decided against them, then the waitlist came.
hey they sent me an email about midnight one night and then i went to the status checker and it said congrats you've been accepted. they then sent an email a few nights later around midnight again about the scholarship i got. Good luck!!
Oh my gosh....the news sounds good...we will celebrate at Sushi Republic..:)
one thing i realized is that this whole process is annoying as hell. in terms of cooley they are the only school i got into so far and i found the best way to communicate with them is to actually call admissions office and ask for your person. say you have questions about your application. it worked for me, i get a response from them the same day usually. the good news though is that you have a good gpa that will def help
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :(
Dear Sheri, This is your Delta Zeta Law Angel encouraging you to Turtle Tug your way into ElonLaw. Do NOT take no for an answer. Call and beg Dean Gaskin for an interview in May. DO IT!
Thanks for the heads up. I was actually planning on calling them tomorrow. I mean I could see them holding out if I was waitlisted or something but in reality I haven't heard anything which I think is a bit ridiculous. If was not a Dayton native, I would have pulled my app a long time ago, but I will give them the benefit of the doubt I guess.
Who left that last comment? I would like to get some info haha.
I did.. Haha...LSN was being weird yesterday..Not sure why it didn't put my user name. Let me know what you're wanting to know and I'll try to help! -Thanks for the congrats! I think everyone is moving slow this cycle especially with those of us that have some sort of questionable numbers...I say brown nose all you can Girl! hahaha :) Hope to see you in Dayton also! Let me know when you hear!!
My status checker changed to 5/3/10 but still said application complete. I got a waitlist letter today. I have to send a letter of continued interest if i want stay on the wl and i would know by the 31st of the final decision. I figured I'll let you know just incase ur status date changes.
Yeah I saw that. But they one thing I have learned is not to always trust the numbers law schools put out, esp employment #s. Plus they raised tutition by 12.5%. It was 27,500 a yr, now its just shy of 31,000. That's not including COL. I've been having several discussions with the lawyers I work for, they just don't know how someone can afford it. 150,000 in student loans (which can't be discharged) It sucks so bad too cuz its such a dream killer. As much as I want to study and practice law, I also don't want to go 150,000 in debt (plus 17,000 I have from undergrad/grad) and end up struggling to find work like so many law grads are now. =( Sorry for the doom and gloom post, its just been on my mind so much lately. I've given up on Dayton, just gonna wait for the letter.
I'm honestly not sure. ONU was my second choice, but with the rising cost of tutition, the shaky legal market, how can one justify going 150,000 in debt. But at the same time, how can you give up on a dream you've had since you were a kid. It's definetly a difficult decision.
to be honest, i haven't checked status checkers in a long time, including onu. I just got a letter in the mail one day and i thought it was a rejection but it was a waitlist notice. I also sent in an updated transcript to UD and they said that my application was still with the the review comitte and that i can expect to hear something pretty soon but who knows.
nope it still says application complete, it never went to waitlisted but the status date changed to 5/3/10 then I got the letter a few days later.
Yea, but knowing my luck it probably got lost =(
that's just insane. I haven't even called Dayton since last month. I kept getting the same response every time so I just gave up with them. As for a game plan, I really don't have one. Still trying to figure things out as I go I guess.
Yeah, my status checker says waitlist accepted as well. I am pretty sure that it means that we have both just accepted the waitlist offer. Right now I am still waiting on UD. I am still in reveiw. If that doesn't come through then I am bound for Ave Maria and I will be pretty happy there. What about you?
not a thing. u said you got WL/Accepted on ur online status - more than likely u were accepted off their WL.
just saw what you wrote on corey's page. That kinds sucks, accepted the waitlist offer, generally thats not what it is suppose to mean. I guess that also means they "lost" or "misplaced" my letter. Honestly its June and I haven't heard from them, doesn't give me a lot of time to find a place esp when I have litteraly no money. And besides I really really want to go to Germany in Sept for Oktoberfest and see my almost 3yr old niece and my new baby nephew.
As far as ONU goes, i received everything you did. I am going to hold out for UD as long as I can but as of right now I will be enrolling at Ave Maria in the fall. It is located in Naples, FL. I just want to know something. That link you sent me was awesome and according to that chart, I have about a 50-51% chance of getting in so I don't know what to think haha. Thanks again!
I completely know how you feel. I still haven't heard anything from Dayton. When I call I get a different answer every time - "Your application is with the admissions committee, and they are in the process of rendering a decision," "The Dean of Admissions has it in her possession, and she will be making a decision on it shortly," the list is endless. I talk to the same lady every time, and she assures me that decisions are made in 2-6 weeks, at the max 8. It's been quite a bit longer than that, and it's been even longer for you! UD is my #1 choice. I went there for undergrad, and really hope I get to attend law school there as well. I'm just tired of the waiting. I talked to ONU yesterday, and they said it would still be a few more weeks before any decision was made. I thought we were supposed to know by June 15th, and before that May 31st, but oh well. I think I'm going to start applying for jobs because I'm getting pretty nervous. I don't want to be without a job come Novemeber, and my loans are due. Good luck with everything! Hopefully we'll both find out about Dayton...some day.
When I called today to check my status, they said I was Accepted! :) The letter I got in the mail today, though, said Waitlist. So, I called into to check what I had been told earlier -- and there was no mistake! Apparently, there was some kind of computer error -- and I think this might be what happened to you too -- since we have very similar numbers. So, call in on Monday. I hope you get good news too!
Me too.
Well glad you heard something. How did the notify you?
yeah i got waitlisted too. My guess is that they will wait and see how many people pay the seat deposit that is due on July 1, and then see how many people turn in the blue sheets and then go from there. Fingers crossed!!!!!
Good luck with your cycle! I have decided to attend Ohio Northern next fall. I was accepted to UD and will let them know next week that I plan on not attending. Hopefully they extend acceptance to you. Good Luck!!
My brother is going to UD and so is one of my best friends and thats what they told me. They could be wrong but I think they are pretty reliable sources haha.
Hey, just letting you know I got into UD on Friday. They called me to let me know. I hope everything works out for you. Keep me updated and I hope that we can be classmates!
I sent it in on monday and they call me on friday.
That sounds crazy!! I hope that you get in. I am sure all the hard work will pay off. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and I hope that we can be classmates this fall
Girl, I completely understand. My top choice is Samford but I am waitlisted there. However, Dayton was second so I went and checked it out and found an apartment. I dont see how these schools expect people to wait till almost the day of classes to notify us, then expect us to be bright eyed and ready to dive in to first year studies...I mean...you'd think they'd try to be slightly more aware of the transistion process!! Just hang in there...I am keepin' my fingers crossed for you!!
Any word yet?
I haven't heard anything from ONU since the wait list.
Hey what are your top choices? Good luck!
