Hastings rejection via online status check
Georgetown rejection via mail

Good God: an acceptance from Southwestern. After two years of consecutive rejections I am finally admitted to a law school. Absolutley incredible.

Accepted at SCU! Very happy to have some good news.
I did not recieve any scholarship aid with the SCU acceptance & sent them a letter requesting that they reconsider. I just recieved their response: no way. I think the whole 50+k a year in debt thing just hit me in the gut. I never expected to recieve any aid (I am just lucky to get in somewhere) but it is scary as hell to think that I am leaving a debt free existance & well paying job to go to a 3rd tier law school where I will probably graduate making as much (or less) than I do now.

Accepted at USF! I live all of 1 mile away from campus so I will probably end up attending there. If anyone has any suggestions between SCU & USF I would be like to hear

Accepted at USD Evening Division

I also would wish to spew some hate. I have relatives who went to podunk schools and are millionares...goes to show you how much intellectual eliteism and standardized tests count in the real world. I also would wish to spew some LSAT hate. I have relatives who went to podunk schools and are millionaires (earned the money)...goes to show you how much intellectual elitism and standardized tests count in the real world. Also, your profile says you found out you were rejected from Hastings via online status check. Is this correct? I keep checking and it always says "XXX." It also says a decision will be mailed to me, does that mean it will not appear online? Not like I will get in anyways.

yea...

sorry, ignore the repeat in my last post, i copied and pasted from word because the comment box is so small. obviously i messed up in the process.

Maybe at Southwestern we'll be

My older brother is at Southwestern, first year evening. He was accepted at UOP, Santa Clara, USF, and another seven or eight mediocre schools. He just didn't want to leave L.A. From what I've seen with him, his level of knowledge, etc., he's getting a quality education and loves the school.

Just an update
Sunday, September 18 2005 at 08:00 PM

I haven't heard anything from Pepperdine. When did you get waitlisted? I was asked to come to Loyola for an interview. Have you heard from them?

Loyola interview
Sunday, September 18 2005 at 08:00 PM

I was contacted via email by Loyola for an interview which I appeared for last Thurs. March 2nd. I have no idea why I was granted an interivew, but from what I could gather, it seems they interviewed abuot 2 dozen or so applicants. I'll let you know when I hear something. The way my luck has it, it is probably just wheel spinning. Fooffer

Valpo
Sunday, September 18 2005 at 08:00 PM

Doubt that I will go to Valpo. It's a nice chunk, but truthfully I'd rather stay on the west coast. I hope to get a shot at Pepperdine or Loyola. I don't know what's different about me other than I have strong letters and Personal Statement. Without sounding obnoxious, I expect to get in to Santa Clara, Pacific McGeorge, and USF. My predictions for you are, Pepperdine, USF, and maybe USD. I wouldn't have hope for Davis or Loyola. Once again I have no clue why I was interviewed at Loyola. I'll let you know what I hear.

What's up with Pepperdine
Sunday, September 18 2005 at 08:00 PM

So, I'm impreesed that you were waitlisted at Pepperdine. I have done everything I know how to do to tweak my application. I have great letters, even from benefactors and nothing yet. The Loyola interview went great. No offers, no waitlist no nuttin'. Rejected from Hastings on line. I just wrote to USD and requested PT. Maybe I'll have a better chance. The April 1 deposit date is on approach. I think I'll deposit Miami and Southwestern. Fooffer

wow
Saturday, September 17 2005 at 08:00 PM

you were in a band?? what kind of music?? ;0) Oh yeah, congrats on your great acceptances and I feel you on the debt, I am starting to freak out abit as well, but I make crap now, so it's not like i'm leaving loadsa money, hehe

What's with my app. at Pepperdine
Sunday, September 18 2005 at 08:00 PM

It seems that everyone with my numbers got waitlisted already at Pepperdine. What the heck is going on with my application? I sent a depoit to Southwestern. I would go to McGeorge over USF, but I haven't gotten in there. Oh well. Wailist city here I come.

hey

i'm not joking when i read your ist of schools and did a double take because i thought i was still reading my profile. good luck to you!

I cannot believe
Monday, November 13 2006 at 07:00 PM

That with your GPA you got rejected from Loyola and I am a bit confused did you get into USD? Because your site says "no" Any tips you have will help, looks like you have a very impressive background.
