we've applied to the same schools (although I've applied to a few more ;)). what do you think about davis?

would be my #1 DREAM school, though realistically i'd be happy with davis. good reputation, not too pricy, and close enough to SF (where i am from).

I'm also looking to stay in Norcal if at all possible... Good luck with your applications!

thanks for the advice :) but I haven't heard very good things about those schools... maybe I'm just too picky. It must be great to have all of your applications in already! good luck :)

looks like we've got similar numbers and school choices. I really want in to a Cali school. It's cold up here in Canada! Anyway, maybe we can keep each other updated as the cycle moves along.

I want to go there so badly. I applied via LEOP. What do you think our chances are? Seems like we both have some good things going for us...

also, we are at their 25th percentile LSAT and above 50th GPA, so put that with our soft factors and i think we have a good shot. that means one out of four first years (100 total about) had an LSAT lower than ours.

you know the medians for LEOP are 3.2-3.5 and 153-156, so we are actually above those if we get in LEOP.

Good luck! :)

I applied ED to Hastings too. I got another "you are complete" email today that's identical to the one I got a month ago. I suppose it means I was deferred. Did the same thing happen to you?

Thanks, I didn't do ED for any of those schools. I wish you the best of luck. Where do you want to go? I know someone with similar numbers to yours who got into Hastings last year, so good luck!

Yeah, I'm going nuts. But I've only checked e-mail once- I just never turned it off... Hopefully we get our ED acceptance before Christmas!

I refrain from having a first choice at this moment..haha.. I just want to get into a good school somewhere nice and I'll be happy. I'll keep a look out for you, wish you the very best for the cycle.. it seems like SCU is sending out decisions now

yes, it is for 3 year...

Thanks brother...I hope you hear from your schools soon, good luck to ya..

great job on getting accepted. i really liked SCU law and, if hastings doesnt work out (or maybe even if it does), i would love to go there too!

on Santa Clara. I think that the scholarship offers that people are receiving with their acceptance letters do not require filling out a FAFSA. They are given out according to what's on the application itself. It really sucks. I would love to go there and study international law, but I don't know if I can deal with the price tag. Good luck on your other applications.

Damn, if you're getting 75 G'z for USF then you should do it. How did that work out?

Thanks for the congrads and i'm definitely pulling to get off that waitlist. Congratulations on your acceptances so far. I'm pulling for you and Hastings, although I've got to wonder, would you pass up the scholarship at USF? (Also, how did they notify you about your scholarship?)

and congrats on USF! $75K is a ton of $$. i can't believe you've already heard back from hastings...

yeah, you should totally consider USF with that money on the table....no matter how much you like hastings. esp. if you want to be in SF after ls. sorry about the deferral though. they do not accept LEOP patients early though....i read that somewhere, so do not be down on yourself!

patients=applicants its been a long day!

and congrats on Santa Clara and USF!

guy! It does feel good to start the cycle with an acceptance or two ;) But I see congratulations are in order for you, too! Nice cash incentive from USF! Too bad about SCU not doling out for us 159ers though, huh?

for your comments! Congrats on Santa Clara and good luck with the rest of your schools. That scholarship money from San Francisco must be nicceee. Happy Holidays!

Hastings notified by mail-- standard envelope. Our numbers are close, so hopefully, you'll hear good news soon as well... but if you got into hastings, would you choose that over usf and what they're offering?

Congrats on acceptances and that impressive scholarship. Looks like you'll be staying in North Cali for school, as you wanted.

Congrats on Loyola! I'm pulling for you and Hastings, hope you get in soon and the law school turmoil will end!

Looks like you decided to withdraw from loyola anyways, huh? I think you have a good shot at hastings with your GPA. I think I might be too middle ground for them... Good job on the huge scholarship at USF! I am still anxiously awaiting their decision...

Would you chose USF over Santa Clara? I'm sorta in the same boat with acceptances from both but not terribly familiar enough with the reputations of Nor Cal schools to make my decision. So I'm really interested to know which you'd prefer and why.

you withdrew so quickly! i would love to hear back from them... loyola is quickly moving up for me. anyway, great job on your cycle so far - and you'll get into hastings, i know it!

That's a fantastic scholarship!!! Yeah, I'd prefer to stay a little closer to home in San Diego, but right now Cal Western is my only option. CW has made tremendous strides in the years since I graduated college in 02, but the non-legal and even the legal community still considers it to be a bad school. I've heard the same thing about McGeorge: that it's a law school on the rise. That means there probably isn't that strong alum base that will be helpful when looking for that first job. Is that partly why you didn't apply to McGeorge?

i'm sad that i have to pick a new first choice :( but i'd really like to hear from davis or loyola. i'd be happy with USF, though, since i've heard great things about the students/profs/etc. maybe i'll see you there!

How come you withdrew from Loyola? I'm considering it a lot more seriously (although I haven't heard from them yet) cuz I got my rejection from your alma mater today. =( I guess the money from SFU has gotta be tempting. Here's hoping Hastings starts shoving those acceptances in the mail!

I do prefer norcal, and would only take those schools over Pepperdine and USD because I eventually want to live in Norcal and all my schools are regional. But if I got the right scholarship, I may not be able to resist either of those schools. I'm holding on to my acceptances until I know for sure!

thanks for the congrats man, I'm more leaning towards the other schools as of this point, depends on what other schools say too. good luck on your hastings decision.

Thanks! I think I'm going to be at Davis actually, no matter what happens with Hastings. I'm still curious to visit both, but I'm pretty sure it is Davis. What is your #1?

i'm beyond ectastic about davis. couldn't be more excited or pleased with the outcome! but i have some ties to LA that make loyola still very appealing, so i'm waiting to see what happens. in any case, gl to you with davis and hastings. if you were to get into both, would you still pick hastings?

Thanks, man. Here's pulling for hastings for you. They didn't like me, but hopefully they like you! Good luck! And is it me, or is Davis ridiculously slow?

Congrats on Davis! I'm still waiting on a verdict from them, but I wish I could trade you my Hastings for your Davis! Too bad UC schools just don't let you swap with others!

Aww, thanks! I'm sure I'll be seeing you in class there cuz you're gonna get in right... about.. now!

Congrats on Hastings!! You gonna go??

Sorry, I meant Davis. Davis is a great school! Here's my opinion: I'm from the Bay also, and I can definitely understand why you'd want to go to SCU over Davis, however, there's a HUGE difference in quality from the schools. I would definitely not pay full-price for SCU over in-state at Davis. Davis will have better job prospects, and you'll be able to come back to San Jose upon graduation. Davis may seem boring, but you're going to be studying anyway, so it's a blessing in disguise. Unfortunately, for me, I don't have a viable Bay Area option. My two best bets were Davis and Hastings. I got rejected from both. So i'm considering either SMU or Fordham. Scholarship versus ranking..haha.. Let me know what you decide.
