It is terrifying actually

Good luck to you too! I'm sure you'll get in somewhere great.

Good luck to you too! I'm sure you'll get in somewhere great.

Thank you. I just got so paranoid after the LSAT that I thought safety schools would be a good idea. We shall seeeeeeeeee...

i love me some fee waivers. good luck this cycle! keep me posted on how things are going.

I moved out to CA as soon as I graduated....I live in Santa Barbara now. Not sure why you'd want to live in MI...have you ever been through an entire winter like that? It's brutal and depressing. I love being able to see the sun so many days out of the year! Best be ready for about 4 straight months of dreariness if you end up in MI. Good luck! And toss me a line if you have any MI Q's.

About that section....I actually got every question correct on the games, just went really smooth for me. But then again, I needed that to make up for my reading comp, haha.

Oh, you live in SB too? Nice! I actually lived in Shell Beach for the first year or so out here...just moved in with my girlfriend down in SB last Oct. The four of us should grab some drinks, and make each other either more relaxed or more nervous, haha.

Way to go! Nice to know it's definitely happening, I'll bet. Continued luck to ya.

I'm stoked for you. We should go out and celebrate for sure. Let me know how everything else goes.

Yep, we're all getting drinks! I just need to get an acceptance....assuming that does happen, haha....that way we will all be future-JD's for sure. I hear ya on the freaking out...I'm usually a really sound sleeper, but I've been sleeping like crap! Also, I almost freaked out and applied to Southwestern yesterday, luckily I snapped out of it.

It happened....I'm in at USD! Drinks for all of us, where do you guys want to go?

I feel I have a lot to offer in the way of truth, but it's yet to be found.

hey, thats great that you got in to american. i'm sure you'll have much more success, so be sure to keep me posted! i'm still waiting to hear from the bigger name schools, but we'll see i guess. good luck!

Well, personally, I think Chicago is more persistent than any jilted lover that I, at least, have ever had but I see your point. I like that way of thinking, though: clearly, I should go ahead and withdraw from Harvard; that would be just what it takes to get them to come crawling back to me.

Congrats! Hastings is not a school to scoff at. I wish I could go next weekend but I'm going to Tahoe this weekend and I think that might just be too much. I hope the good news just keeps rolling in for ya.

Yes, it's been killing me too! I see your drought ended the other day as well. I'm sure both of our mail people are happy to have some breathing room!

Hey, glad to help; if those numbers can be encouraging to you, then so much the better. As I recently discussed in likely nauseating detail on someone else's site (LSN ID: foolhardy), I do lack for most traditionally compelling soft factors, so I do like to think there is hope for the mid-160s common man. Or woman, as the case may be. To state the obvious: man, that's a lot of applications. If you really got fee waivers for all of them, though, then you spent about $1,000 less on the process than I did, so I can't really blame you. Hope one of them results in a pleasing acceptance for you.

Best of luck w/ Georgetown and with the rest of your cycle. With your stats I'm sure you'll end up someplace great!

eeeek! must be scary! i'm rooting for you! GOOD LUCK! btw, we applied on the same day. :)

I'm not really sure . . . I did not ask for them to do so if that's what you mean. They've sent all other mailings (ASW invite, etc.) to my perm. address as well. Could it be because I was accepted around the holidays? HTH . . . good luck!

I feel your pain with the status checkers--I literally can't stop. I was on vacation in Puerto Rico last week and went into an Internet cafe every day to check them all. It's not healthy. After all this stress I hope we get into our status checker schools. Best of luck!

yeah hastings let me know in the acceptance letter $7500 a year renewable. looks like you got some cash too, hell yeah!! you've got a lot of heavy hitters to hear from wso i'm sure you're still very undecided, but let me know if you choose a CA school. good luck!!

It came here, It took forever though. Drinks soon, for sure. How about this weekend?

sorry to hear about gtown . . . I'm sure you'll have great choices regardless. Good luck!

how come no usd?

my boyfriend is doing the same thing, its amazing, i'm so stoked

my boyfriend is doing the same thing, its amazing, i'm so stoked

way to go on the scholey for Hastings... I hope to see the same! Time to seriously collaborate on drinks with climbingstars....just started new job....not sure I can wait til weekend....thursday? friday? what do you think? "We're really doing it Harry!" WE're going to be attorneys....that's nuts!

Yah, who does Stanford think they are.....one the best law schools in the country?!? Ok, where should we meet tonight? It's on! Feel free to bring your bf, my gf will probably come.

Climbingstars says she's free at 8, where should we go for our confab?

get used to hearing that if wind up in Michigan, or even the Midwest, haha. absolutely, it was a great time! We're definitely doing that again! Continued luck to you!

You don't want to be a wolverine anyhow! If you stay in Cali, or some other warm place, you'll be very happy that you didn't get in there...I assure you! You're still going to have plenty of good choices.

It would appear I'm in a real dry spell here! The only thing that Ive got in the last week and a half is a rejection. I have found that work only provides minimal distraction from this crazy time!

..appreciated, but I wasn't exactly holding my breath on any of those dings. I hear ya on deposits coming up soon....it's a decent amount of cash that each school is asking for....best case scenario we'll know where we want to go by then, but there's not much time! I'm still waiting to hear from Hastings.....I love SF, and the school is great, but even if I get in, not sure I would go unless they gave me some $$$, because USD would be cheaper tuition AND cheaper cost of living.....we shall see

i appreciate what you said. even though you applied late i have a hunch you will be surprised where you get into. watch out for u of m though, i am not a fan of the student body there. maybe all top 10 law student bodies are similar, but something bothers me about the pampered kids who do not have to work hard to do well. anyway, good luck.

What a bunch of silly bastards......looks like sunny SoCal is where I'll be!

I think I know who you are. I only remember one girl that worked behind the desk there. At the moment I'm leaning Hastings as well, but I seem to be racking up the waitlists, so I guess I wont be entirely sure for a while. Good luck!

I had no shot at Berkeley with my low GPA anyhow, so it's no biggie to me. As for Hastings, I've been meaning to visit but I don't really see any tough decisions in my future (except maybe Hastings vs. ND) so I've been lazy about it. I also just found out that I'm eligible for $5,000/yr from the Hastings Grant (but so is everyone as far as I know) which is nice. How does Hastings compare with the Boston schools for you?

Lukewarm on Hastings, eh? Well, hopefully after visiting you'll warm up to them, or some place else will steal your heart. Going to be a stress-filled 3 years, you want to feel comfortable wherever you are. Hastings was a shock, and I would call and show some interest, but I would prob only go if I could get some $$, cause USD gave me a good chunk. I'm feeling more sure all the time that I want to go to USD!

for the kind message. I'm really excited to attend law school this year. Congrats on your acceptances thus far, though I think you should have been accepted into some of the schools you were rejected from.

Hey, got the letter on the Dean's Award about 2 weeks after receiving acceptance package in the mail. Good luck.

It's kind of like winning the lottery, except I have to use the money for a specific purpose - which is what I would want to use it for, anyway. Good luck with the schools you're still waiting to hear from!

on your acceptances! As a Bay Area resident, I'm slightly biased, but I do think that Hasting is a great school and that SF is one of the best cities in the world. Good luck!

Well, I've put my "A" up on USD. Barring something extraordinary, that is where I will be next fall. I visited there the other weekend, and love it! The campus was gorgeous and the students and faculty were great. I'm happy to have my mind made up...very liberating, but also a little weird after all of this time spent on the LSAT and admission and waaaiiittttiiinnnggg. We should definitely get some drinks again soon, maybe this weekend sometime? We can try and hash out where you're at in the decision process, and what might change your mind, etc. Don't stress, you'll figure it out, and you have great options!

on getting a great deal at BU, and more importantly, on making your decision! That's gotta feel good. Have fun this fall!

hi! i too chose bu over bc! just sent in my deposit monday. its a great place and i hope to see you there next year

Yeah I have, its really great. The building is ugly but it has amazing views. i liked how all the facilities are more accessible than BC (which is prettier but oh well). it was def a hard choiec but i think i am making the right one! congrats on the great money from them too

see you at BU in the fall - very excited!

Yeah, we both have very similar cycles. I'm pretty sure I'll be going to BU in the fall (unless I miraculously get off a waitlist somewhere), but I'm still waiting for USC, so it's not official. BU 2010 woot.

let me be the first to congratulate you on making the CORRECT choice ... YEAH BC!

Congrats on making your decision....feels good, eh?! You should really have fun. Everyone I know that has gone to a Boston school has enjoyed their time there. California will miss you...better bundle up, you are going to hate that first winter!
