Additional info & updates

List of schools will probably change some after I take Sept LSATs
Not concerned about relocating but needs to be someplace my DH can get a job

11-17 - Yeah! Someone wants me! Accepted at FSU. Small letter with follow up call and scholarship apps a couple of days later.
11-23 - In at AU - Priority Mail large envelope
12-10 - In at Univ of Florida. - Large white envelope, regular USPS. Now time to plan a road trip to FL to check out the schools and communities.
12-14 - Just checked my UGA status checker for the 1000th time and it had changed to Accepted!!!
12-15 - Large first class USPS envelope from Wake Forest. Scholarship info to come in Jan.
12-19 - Just got the phone call from GMU.
12-28 - Email from GW. Funny thing is I thought I applied to the day division, but something came up yesterday where the evening division might make more sense. I think the gods are trying to tell me something.
01-14 - Short letter from Penn. Not surprised at all. It was very much a long shot.
01-30 - Put on "Priority Waitlist" at BC. Not sure if that is different from regular waitlist.
03-10 - Finally something from W&L. Now if only it was an answer.
03-14 - Nice letter from Duke. So much for my reaches. I guess they were just too far.
03-20 - Letter from W&M. I'm disappointed in this. Was really hoping this would be an option, maybe even with some money.
04-07 - Letter from Emory.
04-07 - Sent seat deposit to GMU. Can't turn down instate tuition and the opportunity to keep working. Also given the current housing market, we can't afford to sell the house and move.

GOOD LUCK ON THE CYCLE - IT IS ADMIRABLE TO WANT TO DO THIS AFTER 20 YRS IN CA

Northwestern?
Monday, October 08 2007 at 08:00 PM

Congrats on FSU, with all your work experience you may want to consider throwing out an application to Northwestern. Good luck!

FSU
Thursday, February 01 2007 at 07:00 PM

Congrats! A friend of mine is dating a 40+ law student. So never fear, it can be done! Also, in agreement w/jalex. You should definitely try Northwestern. Best of luck.

FSU!

Congrats on your acceptance to FSU, I'm not a bit surprised with your numbers. I think you will be celebrating a lot more this cycle. Congrats again. BTW, your username always cracks me up. Some days I feel too old for law school, too....and I'm only 29. Lot of 22 yr olds running around!

congrats on WCL
Wednesday, July 25 2007 at 08:00 PM

Good to see! How did you hear? Priority mail? I hope mine is waiting for me in CA when I get home!

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

on WCL!! did american given you some sort of completion notification? i applied around the same time as you and haven't heard anything from them. we have similar numbers but you def outshine on the soft factors and we're applying to some of the same school so I'll be watching and wishing you luck throughout the rest of your cycle!

Congrats
Tuesday, March 07 2006 at 07:00 PM

On American! I just put in my app into FSU the other day too. how did they notify you?

Thanks Everyone
Thursday, April 26 2007 at 08:00 PM

Thanks for the good wishes everyone. I edited the Add'l Info to reflect how I heard. I never did receive a complete notification from AU. After 12/1 I'm going to contact everyone I haven't received a complete notice from. Good luck to all of you!!

Thanks and congrats
Monday, July 09 2007 at 08:00 PM

Thanks, and congrats on your acceptances so far! I'm sure you'll be hearing from W&M real soon! Best of luck to you.

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

I'm sure your's is on its way!!

Congrats
Monday, November 05 2007 at 07:00 PM

Did American send you any type of notice to let you know you were complete? Or was it a surprise when it came in the mail?

Good Luck
Monday, November 05 2007 at 07:00 PM

to you as well... Gotcha. I have been waiting for a response for them... so hopefully I will be receiving the large packet from them and not the small one. Good luck on the rest of your cycle. You've definitely started off well!

Job well done!
Sunday, March 25 2007 at 08:00 PM

30-ish male here. I certainly don't look as good as you do on paper! Feel free to send some of your non-trad acceptances my way! I agree with others who are suggesting Northwestern to you. Maybe think about Texas and UCLA too?

I am an undergrad here now, let me know if you have any questions about the school or Gainesville.

Hey thanks! It came in a First Class Mail envelope this afternoon! I wish you the best of luck-- please keep me posted!

4/4! Congrats
Saturday, October 20 2007 at 08:00 PM

Great way to start a cycle! Do you want to stay in DC?

WOW
Monday, September 17 2007 at 08:00 PM

what else is there to say - you are on FIRE! You're heading for the sweep!!! CONGRATS!

Congrats
Tuesday, October 30 2007 at 08:00 PM

Looks like you're kicking ass and taking names. I'm looking forward to GMU, sounds like a solid PT program. Why didn't you take a stab at Georgetown?

me too
Sunday, September 09 2007 at 08:00 PM

Hi tooold, I just couldn't resist writing, our user names are similar. You give me hope you've been doing so well this cycle, though your GPA is quite a bit better. But maybe it means some of these schools consider our lives outside of tests and GPAs. Good luck to you the rest of the way!

Yay
Saturday, January 05 2008 at 07:00 PM

Applying to many similar places and accepted to WFU on very similar numbers. 1st choice is GW though (applied PT/FT) Good luck on the rest of your cycle.

Another nontrad!
Thursday, December 27 2007 at 07:00 PM

Hey! Great to see another nontrad going for it. I'll be 40 in October. Hopefully celebrate my birthday at W & M Law!!! Good luck to you. Maybe we'll end up at W & M together.
