Additional info & updates

Was scoring higher on LSAT than my crappy sept score.

Retaking and hoping for atleast 5-7 more points in December.

11-21-07
finished all apps listed
just have to mail in cert letters
Can't wait for some good decisions! Been looking forward to this for a long time!

12-08-07 complete at Cuse! Can't wait to get my Dec LSAT results back.

12-20-07 Finally got my LSAT score back. 159!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

12-26-07: Hope all had a great Christmas and santa brought all the presents (acceptances) wanted. I've decided on 5 more schools to apply to:

1-reach American
2-reach Wisco
3-Target -St. John's
4-Target -Northeastern
5-Penn State or Pitt
6-probably a Chicago school... not sure which one

12-30-07: Added my final schools. Thinking I've spend enough money to buy a small island on these apps by now...

01-06-08:Happy new year to all! Called all schools last week to see what they needed to go complete feels like its taking forever... stupid Dec LSAT. Suffolk let me know they req Dean's cert (which I didn't know). So today I took it to the dean's office and they told me it will be 2 weeks til he gets around to it! Geeze!

01-17-08: First acceptance today from Rutgers Newark! WOOT! I'm going to law school next year. Also, finally went complete at Suffolk.

01-18-08: Wow! Good week this week. In at IUIPUI and NESL. IUIPUI came in an email and NESL came in big white packet via snail mail.

01-19-08: SWEET! In at cuse today via snail mail large packet. Cool bumper sticker and T-shirt included. I'm feeling so blessed!

01-21-08: snail mail from Cal Western acceptance letter! This week was great!

01-22-08: In at U of Pacific. Came in large snail mail packet. Stoked about that one. I know Sacramento isn't exactly the warmest place on Earth but it has got to be better than this midwestern weather! Also went complete at American (not holding my breath though)

01-24-08: Complete at Wisco today and in at Penn State. WOOOO! This cycle is going great. Also got letters from U of Pac and Cali Western saying they will cover some costs if I fly out to visit. Looks like I may see some sunny Cali days soon! Feeling so blessed!

01-26-08: In at Quinnipiac and Hofstra with $$. Hofstra came in small snail mail envelope Quinn came via email. Since I'm in at a CT school guess I'll have to take up polo or something uppety like that ;) Also after emailing Northeastern about going complete, a day later they send me a complete email... interesting. Lost in the shuffle perhaps?

01-28-08: Small snail mail letter today from NYLS letting me know of acceptance and scholarship. YES! Even with the scholarship it is still an expensive school, but I'll consider it.

02-01-08: Got some scholarship offers. Still don't have a clue where I want to go. I'm really stoked to hear from St. John's, Case, Buffalo, American, and U of Wisco. But I'm also really surprised I got in everywhere I did!

02-02-08: In at Suffolk today! Yes! Came in snail mail large white packet. Nice finish to a long day of mock trial. Uggh!

02-04-08: In at Pace today with $$$. Nice! Don't know much about the school though.

02-07-08: In at Case today via email. So excited! This is a top choice of mine so very very good news!

02-08-08: In at Albany via short email. BUff and St.John's via snail mail large packets. This cycle is going so well I can't even believe it!

02-11-08: In at Loyola Chi via call from the Dean. How cool! Cycle is wrapping up for me pretty soon. The schools left are my top choices, so we'll have to see what happens.

02-15-08: In at CUNY today via large snail mail packet. Seems like a bargain, but I've read some pretty nasty things about location and overall negative physical attributes of the campus. Right now (unless I hear back positive from NEU, WISCO, or American) it will most likely be Case/Rutgers/or Pacific for next year.

02-18-08: Just got over a whopper of a flu. Completely wiped me out. I've been a bit worried about NEU so I called them and left a message inquiring about the status of my app. I know I'm complete but haven't heard anything else. NEU is one of my top choices. Also WISCO said my decision letter is in the mail. YIKES! It could easily go either way. I'll be praying for a positive though. I'm going back to recouping from this deathly illness now. . .

02-21-08: Finally over that terrible flu. Heard back from Wisco today via small snail mail letter-Waitlist. Bummer. I'm betting their waitlist is pretty fat so I'm not putting any money on me having a shot there. Too bad cause its a pretty neat place. Oh well. I still have American and NEU to hear back from.

02-22-08: Finally heard back from American via small snail mail letter -Waitlist. Thats 2 WL in 2 days! Oh well, I'm still anxious to hear from NEU. If I don't hear positive from NEU I'll probably be at Case next year.

03-04-08: Called NEU, U of I, and Kent today out of frustration. NEU said I'll have my decision by April 15th... hope they'll let the other schools know since their deadlines are like April 01. Kent said my decision should be coming my way soon. U of I said my application has been 'held' and will be reviewed again in a few weeks. Pretty frustrating again as most school deposit deadlines are Aprilish.

03-05-08: Cool email from Case saying I have a scholarship of 9k a year. It's conditional on maintaing a 2.33 GPA. Not too shabby! They're baiting the hook and I will most likely bite.

04-04-08: Went and visited Case and Loyola over spring break. Both schools were neat in their own way. Case is beautiful and right now I'm 99% set for CWRU for next year. I've sent my deposit in and everything.

04-08-08: email today from Case saying they can actually give more scholly than before. That's such great news!

04-10-08: WL today from NEU. Not really surprised... or concerned.

04-22-08: Called Chi Kent today they said no decision yet. Geeze. They are taking forever. I'm glad they were not one of my top choices, I'd be dying.

04-25-08: letter from Kent=Deferred. Not upset about it. They took way too long though.

04-10-08: just got letter from U of I today dated 04-10 =rejected. Not really upset about it. Keeping me humble I suppose.

***All scholarship info is yearly***

Please make any suggestions or comments about schools or school selection.

Any person who goes through the horrible process of applying to law school deserves to get in somewhere wonderful. GOOD LUCK to all!

Hey. No I will not be taking the LSAT again. For what I want to do with my degree it doesn't really matter what school I go to. Also, no I will not be applying to the other schools indicated: five-hundred in application processing fees is enough lol. Well, anyway, goodluck on your retake. Keep me posted on your applications.

I basically want to practice from the rural area in which I live. All that requires is that I pass the bar.

University of Buffalo Law
Friday, January 12 2007 at 07:00 PM

Hope you give University of Bufalo Law a close look. Other than Case Western, UB is the highest rated law school on your list. I'm a first year student there and all my profs are Ivy League Law School grads. My Criminal Law Prof (Yale Law grad) wrote our textbook !

Good luck
Sunday, December 09 2007 at 07:00 PM

Good luck!!

University of Buffalo

Thanks for your note. My 1 L experience was a journey. All "First Years" as they are called at UB take a course together for a week prior to the rest of the law school arriving for the start of the fall term. My Torts, Criminal Law, and Property Courses are all about 70-80 students but taught by top Ivy League Law grads. My Criminal Law Prof, together with two Stanford Law Profs, wrote the text for that course. My Legal Writing and Reasoning Course was about 20 students and VERY INTENSIVE. That course continues next semester with an emphasis on legal argument and where the capstone activity is writing an brief to the Appeals Court ! And in January there is the three week Bridge Term that is unique to UB. First years use this period to work intensively with the law librarians and become proficient in both Westlaw and Lexis.

Congrats on your score!
Tuesday, November 27 2007 at 07:00 PM

Congratulations on your awesome score improvement ... I'm sure that is going to spur your cycle along. Good luck!

Its in a great part of town on Huntington near the fens AND You should apply to more reaches. Temple for instance you could definitely get into, and you can get instate tuition after first year.

NYLS
Friday, June 29 2007 at 08:00 PM

I heard via snail mail last week. Sounds good!

good luck!
Saturday, April 22 2006 at 08:00 PM

you've still got a much higher GPA. It seems like you don't have many reaches though, is that because you have your heart set on NY schools? I've visited Albany a couple years ago and it's beautiful, I'd choose either Albany or UB because UB is a bargain. Have you thought about Northeastern in Boston? I think you'd be competitive there. I see you've applied to UPacific too, I have a fee waiver from them but I don't know if I want to apply, what's the draw?

My target school
Sunday, December 09 2007 at 07:00 PM

I'm hoping for UC Hastings. What did you do differently on the recent test? I'm thinking of retaking the test if i get rejected from all the schools...any advice..

GOOD LUCK!
Saturday, June 02 2007 at 08:00 PM

Hey good luck to you as well. just curious are you submitting an addendum explaining your 9 point jump? Im still on the fence as to submit on or not with my apps.

thank you
Monday, September 10 2007 at 08:00 PM

3.25 to keep the scholarship and I believe their curve is at 3.25 as well... sorta scary

nova vs pitt
Saturday, July 28 2007 at 08:00 PM

I'm actually not sure which one - I've never been to PA, so I'm going to have to check each one out. Any recs?

curve
Monday, September 10 2007 at 08:00 PM

Suffolk=2.7 :((((

.
Monday, September 17 2007 at 08:00 PM

hey thanks re rutgers. good luck with your apps! and congrats on such a huge point increase!!

thanks
Saturday, November 03 2007 at 08:00 PM

Thanks for the congrats. The Hofstra Scholarship is the total for three years. Good luck to you as well!

thanks :)
Tuesday, November 06 2007 at 07:00 PM

what's your top choice? i can't help but feel a little torn that i applied early decision to case, now i have to withdraw my other applications and i'll never know if i would've gotten in. boohoo i know, ha. i'm sure you'll do great, you have sweet numbers!

thanks
Thursday, November 22 2007 at 07:00 PM

for the congrats. i think i'd like to be in LA or NY so my top choices are pepperdine/loyola or cardozo (super reach)/brooklyn. good luck with everything!

Complete at NEU
Monday, September 10 2007 at 08:00 PM

Short...they thanked me for my early application and promised me a quick response....months ago. I work with a columbia law grad who was saying that st johns is way better then NEU tho, so Im very torn

thank you!
Thursday, October 04 2007 at 08:00 PM

thanks...i'm pretty much set on Wisco. i love Madison and I have family there. how bout u? i'd be willing to be you're in at Sconnie...hope to see you there next fall!

:-)
Thursday, October 18 2007 at 08:00 PM

congrats to you as well! Did you not get money from Pacific? With your numbers, i'd expect them to throw things your way! Anywho, i have NO idea where i'm going to head out to. How about you?

top choice
Thursday, June 28 2007 at 08:00 PM

Thanks for the congrats! My top choice is probably GW or Uconn. Im from CT so in-state tuition would be cheap! Also, being from CT, you won't need to learn polo or any other uppety sport, most of CT is not like that, haha. Congrats on your many acceptances! Looks like you are going to have some tough choices! Whats your top choice?

.
Thursday, October 18 2007 at 08:00 PM

Well, they send it to you in a follow up letter.. it was funny, cause for me the scholarhship letter came beofre the admissions letter. Anyways, good luck! I'm sure you'll get lots of moolah!

Pacific vs Cal Western
Monday, January 28 2008 at 07:00 PM

Congrats on those early acceptances and scholarships! Excluding all other choices, would you take Pacific over your offer at Cal Western? I'm in a similar position and trying to decide.

Money
Wednesday, December 19 2007 at 07:00 PM

Schools love to give you money. Thats awesome! I'm close to your #'s and have applied to a sheesh load of schools too. Anywho's, GL!!

re: Cal West
Monday, January 28 2008 at 07:00 PM

I grew up and went to college in SD and I should warn that Cal Western isn't well respected among the non-legal community. But I've been told it's well known for supplying the local area with well trained lawyers. CW has been on an upward trend for at least a decade and has good potential. However, everyone I've asked has said to take UoP over CW (even w/ scholarship).

Congrats!
Saturday, June 02 2007 at 08:00 PM

looks like your having a great cycle.

CONGRATS!
Monday, September 17 2007 at 08:00 PM

...nice job man, you're cleaning house so far!!!! And so much money to boot! I wish you the best with the rest of your apps! I wouldn't consider WISCO a reach for you either. Keep me informed and not all of us from CT play polo...haha! PS: Quinnipiac is a great school - very well known in CT and has a great reputation for placement in the CT/RI area but not much reach beyond the NE region. KEEP THE ACCEPTANCES ROLLING IN!!!

...
Monday, September 17 2007 at 08:00 PM

Haha...it is definitely nice to have an array of acceptances from which to choose! I don't know a TON about Quinnipiac I just know that I have talked to many people in the CT area regarding the school and they say that it holds a decent amount of weight and is a very reputable school. I think if you finish in the top 5% you have a shot at BigLaw and in the top 25-30% you have a good chance of getting a very high paying job in the CT/RI area depending on what it is that you are interested in pursuing. I am not a Yanks fan at all and there is no way the Pats fall into that catagory. I have been rooting for the Pats since Pat the Patriot was their mascot and they couldn't buy a win in any game! We have done our share of suffering with both the Pats and the Red Sox and now is the time of glory! You have to admire what both teams have done as of late and I think they will prove to be the best team in the nation in tonights big game! I wish you the absolute best of luck with the rest of your cycle and if you end up choosing Quinnipiac I will most likely be right up at UCONN so we will have to meet up and pity ourselves for our decision to deal with law school! Keep in touch and BEST OF LUCK!!!! -Drew

Case
Thursday, October 18 2007 at 08:00 PM

Thanks! i'm sure your acceptance will come from case any day now

Pacific
Tuesday, November 06 2007 at 07:00 PM

I just saw your comment about the Pacific scholarship letter - sorry for not responding sooner. You must have gotten it by now - congrats on that and all of your acceptances! I'm looking forward to visiting Pacific as a legal scholar - should be fun! Good luck with the other apps!

Congrats
Monday, October 29 2007 at 08:00 PM

On an AMAZING cycle thus far! I'm sure there's only more good news to come.

Congrats
Wednesday, January 30 2008 at 07:00 PM

on getting into Case today! We applied to some of the same schools...have you visited any of them yet? Best of luck on the rest of your cycle!

Hey!
Saturday, October 27 2007 at 08:00 PM

I think we might go to the same college, haha. Starts with a B? What's your first choice?

sms
U Pacific
Monday, December 24 2007 at 07:00 PM

Congratulations on your acceptances as well. I am considering attending one of the visitation days at Pacific. I like what I see from the packet of information, but there is nothing like experiencing a place in person.

Thanks!
Saturday, October 27 2007 at 08:00 PM

Your cycle's looking pretty good as well. I haven't been to the x-tra curr. activities lately, so you won't see me there. I work at the library, pretty late hours though.

sms
Yea!
Monday, October 29 2007 at 08:00 PM

Congrats on Loyola Chi!

Looks Like
Monday, September 10 2007 at 08:00 PM

If I were you and from where your from, id be pretty happy with Loyola and Case...Congrats! I hear cleveland is pretty, but not as fun as chicago.

hey
Monday, September 10 2007 at 08:00 PM

id love to think about NEU but I just want a Suffolk acceptance at this point. The numbers are with me but I grow nervous...

awesome!
Tuesday, November 06 2007 at 07:00 PM

congrats on case, that is so great! i actually heard initially via email about my acceptance and they let me know about the scholarship then too... but that might be different for regular decision applicants... i think i read somewhere on their website that they make all of their scholarship announcements by march 31st so unfortunately it might be a while til you find out. as for asd's i'm not sure they designate specific days but i did get an email saying something about a housing open house sometime in june so that's when i'm planning to visit. good luck with the rest of your schools!

University at Buffalo Law
Friday, January 12 2007 at 07:00 PM

Hello Again, Want to make a few key points about UB Law" --No curve in any of the classes...that means folks help one another, share outlines with one another, celebrate one another's successes ! --After the first year there is ONLY ONE REQUIRED COURSE....THIS MEANS THAT YOU CRAFT YOUR LAW PROGRAM ! --Latest national study shows that UB is in the VERY TOP TIER when it comes to percentage of students employed at graduation ! --And yes, Buffalo gets cold...but where else could you engage in WORLD CLASS SNOWBALL FIGHTS... Case is a great school, but Pacific almost didn't make Tier 2 this year...was rated 100th ! All the best !

just curious
Sunday, December 09 2007 at 07:00 PM

Good job with getting accepted to all those schools. Did CUNY send you a letter saying you completed your application? Thanks

UB Weather...et al
Friday, January 12 2007 at 07:00 PM

Thanks for your note.. To be honest, there isn't a lot of time to enjoy much weather during your first year in law school. It's a whole lotta IPSO and a good amount of FACTO ! Right now we're in the throws of writing an appeals brief as well as developing oral arguments for same.. Hope to see you here though !

Good Luck..
Monday, October 29 2007 at 08:00 PM

with the decision from Wisco - I hope it's great news. (and of course, I hope you get good news from NEU soon!) Feel better!

TITLE REQUIRED
Wednesday, December 05 2007 at 07:00 PM

yeah, it sucks about american. how do you feel about st. john's? no scholarship for you? i was hoping for one, but we have similar numbers, so maybe not. and i also think it's weird that i seem to be the only person they called. are you staying on at american?

Organizing
Monday, August 27 2007 at 08:00 PM

Hey, thanks so the congrats. You are doing amazingly well this cycle as well! Any school that you prefer over another? Community organizing has been an interesting experience. For the past six months, I have been organizing around economic justice issues(i.e., promoting and educating the public about policies and programs that they can access to improve their financial stability) here in Colorado. It job has its ups and downs. For one thing, we dont always looks to the community to set the direction of our campaigns--which is really horrible. Also, alot of community based organizations battle over turf and resources. It seems that we are all fighting for the same limited grant money and media coverage, this can sometimes lead to groups promoting their agenda over another organization's mission. This is also unfortunate. The best part of the experience for me has been the opportunity to build community leaders. I have met with many people who these campaigns affect and been able to connect them to different opportunities for them to become involved or even just more knowledge about the issue. However, many of my coworkers do not approach the work in the same fashion. Despite these differences, the communities are always exicted and glad that we are doing work on their behalf. what type of community organizing are you looking to get into?

TITLE REQUIRED
Wednesday, December 05 2007 at 07:00 PM

i understand what you're saying about st. john's. it is a flooded market. but i feel the same problem sort of exists at loyola, you still have kids ahead of you for jobs from UChicago, Northwestern, and Chicago Kent, not to mention kids from across the nation who just want to live in Chicago. i guess st. john's is my top choice now given it's ranking...but i'm staying on american's waitlist. i see quinnipiac gave you a big scholarship too. they're paying for me to come to conn. and interview for a full ride, which would be tough to pass up. any chance you'll be heading there for that as well in early april?

TITLE REQUIRED
Wednesday, December 05 2007 at 07:00 PM

yeah, but chicago would be nice. i have a cousin who went to michigan state though and he got a pretty good job in chicago, so it is possible. i'm from ohio and case is a great school. it's not in the nicest neighborhood, but the campus itself is fairly isolated from everything else. and i'm not sure about how i got the quinnipiac offer. you had to apply to quinn before jan. 15th and indicate your professional carreer plans. i study theorhetical conceptions of justice as an undergrad and i wrote my personal statement about applying those concepts to first amendment interpretations, which is obviously academic. then they just contacted me. you should consider getting in touch with them, as they pay for the flight, hotel, and all other expenses. so at the very least, you get a free trip to check out what is supposed to be a nice campus. it's called the dean's fellowship scholarship or something

Congrats
Monday, October 29 2007 at 08:00 PM

hey there. still not sure about top choices since i haven't heard back from 3 important ones (Brooklyn, Cardozo, and Loyola LA). The Case scholarship is tempting, but I have a feeling I will be making a last minute decision. Congrats on all your acceptances. That is really exciting!

great about the scholarship! let me know how your campus visit goes. i hear from a current student at case that the best place to live is in cleveland heights (if you have a car). if you don't, there's an apt building called "the triangle" that is about a 5 min walk from the law school bldg. i guess the neighborhood of little italy is also really close to the school, with some sections in walking distance. good luck w/ your other schools but i hope to see you at case : )

P.S.

i'm surprised that w/ your background NEU hasn't snapped you up! but i hear they had a butt load of applicants this year.

Hey!! Congrats on Case as well. Let me know how you like it. I'm excited to go for their ASW, especially to get to meet other admitted/attending students. I'm still waiting on a couple other schools, but I am fairly certain that I will be at Case this fall. Hope to see you there!

HAHA CASE!

Thanks! Well, since Penn rejected me, I guess UVA bc it's the highest ranking and is in a beautiful area, not far from my U-grad (W&L). If you mean of the ones I have a chance of getting accepted, then I guess Maryland. I'm interested in enviro law and don't want to get into too much debt and like B'more. I'd feel more love for my in-state Rutgers if they offered me money, but unfortunately four years of bustin my butt at a top school for almost all A's doesn't mean anything to them! Do you have a top choice?

Thanks!

Same to you! That's funny...I was just looking at your lsn the other day thinking the same thing, except that you have like a million more acceptances than me, lol. Plus, our numbers will be even more similar once my fall grades are processed through LSAC. I'm really leaning towards UF right now. How about you--what's your #1? I basically have a week to decide my future, since Case wants a deposit sent in by then. I'm not 100% sold on the school yet, and I don't really have the cash to send in deposits to a bunch of schools and just prolong the decision, especially when I'd probably pick Florida over Case anyways. I don't know, though...I'm so torn. I need some guidance.

Hey!

I wasn't really looking for your advice when I said that...it was more of a general statement of "wow, I feel really lost in this whole process" kind of thing, but thanks nonetheless :) I think it's mean how schools are expecting payment already when schools haven't even given out all of their decisions yet...I guess there's a decent reason for it, but it almost requires you to be pessimistic about your chances at the remaining schools. Oh well, hopefully we both make the right choice...Are you submitting the first choice deposit to Case then?

Congratulations on Case, too! I'm a native Clevelander so if you have any questions I'd be happy to try and help. Take care and see you in August!

Congrats...
