*Worked all throughout undergrad (full-time my junior and senior years)
*Extensive political campaign work
*Mentor for ESL students
*Study abroad/volunteer trip
*Leadership position in campus organization
*PS honed in on my ideological, geographical, and cultural experience as well as my desire to serve the public interest.

All of the schools to which I'm applying have a public interest bent because that is my sole reason for pursuing a JD. I'd be happy to go to any school in my top 6.
------------------------------------------------
4/3 - I submitted my $500 (yikes) deposit to Northeastern today. My cycle is over and I'm now counting down the days until I move to Boston!

3/29 - Rejected from Oregon. I figured, but it's still slightly disheartening. Northeastern it is :-)

3/5 - Rejected at Loyola via snail mail. Ouch, it burns.

2/5 - Accepted to William & Mitchell. I found out by email, but apparently a decision letter (which has yet to reach my mailbox) was sent in mid-December.

2/3 - Accepted to Albany via status checker

1/22 - Deferred at Lewis & Clark via email.

1/19 - In at NYLS via business envelope

12/21 - Accepted at Hofstra via email. Status checker says I have an "Honors Scholarship letter" on the way...

12/16 - Accepted at American via large priority mail envelope. Also received my Vermont Law School admission via large envelope today.

12/12 - IN AT NORTHEASTERN!!!! Via small envelope. So excited!! :-) No scholarship, but hey, with my numbers I should be thankful to have simply gotten accepted. Barring an acceptance/amazing offer from Marymount or Lewis & Clark, I'll be at Northeastern next fall!!

12/11 - In at Vermont Law via e-mail! Withdrawing from Baltimore. Did not receive my Northeastern decision letter.

12/10 - No letter today. *sigh*

12/9 - I am really excited/nervous right now. My status checker at Northeastern (under mailings) says that a decision was mailed today. I wasn't expecting this for a while -- it's only been three weeks since my app. was complete. Northeastern is also my #1 school, so to say I have mixed emotions right now is quite an understatement. We'll see what happens...

Update: After a bit of LSN research, it appears that over the last two years, Northeastern has never sent out rejection letters prior to mid-January. Wait-list letters have also come later in the cycle. That makes me feel a little better, but I'm still worried. I loathe waiting!

12/1 - First acceptance! I'm in at Baltimore via status checker. Nowhere near my top choice, but at least I'm guaranteed to be going somewhere next year... haha.

11/24 - All apps are in except for CUNY - Queens and UNC. I will eventually apply to both.
