softFACTORS (2022-2023)

The warm weather and sun would be nice, plus the latin community down there is awesome. Are fluent in Spanish?

-don't let it do to you what it's done to me.

The more I think about it, the more pissed I am I didn't kick that tests @ss. I was killing my practice tests but I didn't deliver on test day. Oh well. That is life. Where are these acceptance letters already? Getting anxious.

So, I've noticed that quite a few people have taken down identifying info (i.e. scores, ECs, etc.). Is it safe to assume that this is to prevent lurking admissions officers from gleaning more info from applicants? Or is there some other rationale? Just curious. I am rather paranoid by nature and am toying with the idea of taking down my info too. I don't feel like I have much to hide but I don't know that I really need to have all that info exposed anyhow. Thoughts?

Yeah, the admissions are rolling. Not sure when I will hear from them. Must mean they can't make their mind up on my app.

Hopefully you will be hearing some good news as a Christmas gift. I know an attorney who went to Quinnipiac. He ended up going back to school and studying Psych and now does evaluations of people to see if they are fit to stand trial.

It's great to get that first acceptance out of the way, but it still doesn't alleviate the suspense like I thought it might.

...for the condolences. I'm starting to go insane waiting for decisions from ANY school in the target/safety catagory. My poor damn nerves.

Congratulations on Hofstra! Having one in the bag is a really good feeling, isn't it?

hey man...gl with your apps. but just wondering...whats up with this "paranoia" you cite? i haven't heard anything about it...perhaps i should take down my info?

Congrats on Hofstra, hopefully the rest of your applications turn out as well.

on Hofstra =)

What made you apply to Hofstra? I'm considering it...

I guess I joined the site as a way of keeping track of my application process. I disagree with you about whether or not my information will help next year's applicants. I have considered the options you gave me and decided to go with neither. I'm not posting my details, as I stated, until all the decisions have been received, and I'm not deleting my info because, as I said before, it helps me keep track of my applications. If this helps, though, my GPA is below a 3.0, and my LSAT is above 155. That's all I got for you, until, of course, all my decisions have been received.

Also, if you PM me on LawSchoolDiscussion, I'll send you my numbers, if that will help.

for the congrats! i applied to H (it's hidden tho, lol) only bc my mom made me and paid for it. i don't expect to get in. my stats are respectable, but not great. i am very happy about the decisions i've gotten and feel very blessed. i wish you success with the rest of your cycle! ~mcb

HOw do you know I don't own a pug yet? Am I that transparent?! I plan on getting one during law school, hoping for pug friendly campus/living situation. Do they require as much attention as people say?

I wish they would have, but they said it was the regular waitlist. I'll probably withdraw my application from the list and focus on financial aid from the others. Goodluck with your app and hopefully you'll get good news soon!

I guess you're right... Thing is I expected more from myself, and underperforming on the LSAT didn't help. I thought I'd at least get to impress them with my other stuff, but no luck doing that either. I'm jus a little disappointed, that's all. On the other hand, I never seriously considered Gtown in the first place - it was just another reach school to add to the list. I'm really hoping Boalt will still come through, though I'm not very optimistic about my chances at this point. I guess attending BU/Fordham/ whoever else takes me wouldn't be the end of the world... Good luck to you too! You may still be surprised by Georgetown - you really never know. And if not, who gives a damn?!

Hey, I worked my fucking ass off (wake up, work, go to school, study, eat, sleeep and nothing else) to get a high graduate school GPA and prepare for the LSAT's. Just work your ass off in law school and you can transfer anywhere you want or have your pick of jobs. Good luck!

Hey, Im just wondering why you received all the rejections. I believe that if you were granted fee waivers then you should have been accepted. What scares me is that I got a fee waiver from Lewis and Clark just like you did. So am I just going to boost their acceptance rate? I hope not. What are your numbers? Please tell me, I need to know if I can be rejected at a school that grants me a fee waiver and tries to recruit me. Anyways, where are you heading? Good luck wherever you decide to go.

If I hadn't spent a year acting in Los Angeles, I might not have developed a skin thick enough to handle all these rejections. But, I did. No biggie!

Nova is a good little up and coming school. Newer facilities is a benefit and people in the region know it produces a lot of professionals. It seems like a Hofstra type school on its way to becoming like Suffolk is in Boston. My sister goes to Gulf Coast U for UG and is very satisfied. Great area if you like the sun and water, too. Best of luck. I'm still waiting to hear but I love the idea of going to Miami.

oh, forgot the reason I wanted to comment. COOL SONG adaptation. Miami missed on you. GL

Yeah, I think it's run its course, so I took it down. Let's see if it made the most of its time up there and worked. (Abba's Take a Chance on Me)

quite the softfactors. I love representitive names. Are you leaning towards a particular school?

quite the softfactors. I love representitive names. Are you leaning towards a particular school?

No, I have 10 more applications out. I am not leaning towards any school in particular right now...too soon to tell.

This cycle has been very hard to swallow.

Money came about a month after the acceptance. I am pretty sure I'm withdrawing there.

I called FIU and they told me a decision was made on Friday, 3/2 and mailed out on that day... but they couldn't tell me what the decision was. Unfortunately my mail at home is being forwarded so it's adding a couple of days for the transit time! GRR! I want to know now!!!

Awesome ECs...glad to see another speech and debate alum remembering the good times. What events?

Haha...you guessed it. Only I started out in Congress (my coach threw me in a Senate chamber my first tourney ever) then switched over to LD senior year. I still go and judge quite a bit in LD, Congress and Public Forum, but I miss tourneys so much.

double-entering in LD is tough, I tried it once and never again. I was quite good at Congress and LD but gave a couple IE events a try and it wasn't really my thing. I loved watching the HI's practice though. We loved all the stuff by Christopher Durang!

I did nothing for PSU... I heard from an AD at a different school that most schools are going to the waitlist.

Hey: I may go to Hofstra too. What is it that is gearing you towards hofstra? Also, I see you have alot of experience in the sports and media field. Are you interested in entertainment law? I am and it would be cool to find someone with similar interests.

I went to an open house and really liked it too. The only thing I did not care for is the law school facilities. It seems a little old and I love Suffolks facilities. So I have to decide which one of these schools to attend. Good luck with your decision.
