I would be glad to hear of more you have to say.

I'm looking at boredfirmlawyers advice and you simply can't afford to have a negative attitude like that if you want to catch any breaks. You can certainly start out at a low paying job, become known as a good lawyer, get some valuable experiene that you wouldn't have in the first place at a big firm, and use that to get the higher paying associate position a few yrs down the line --- but you have to genuinely enjoy the work. I'm in the paralegals dept at a big firm -- I talk to basically everyone I see -- I don't let myself get bored. That's not to say everything comes easily, but I do work to earn and maintain trust and connections. I agree with the bit about regional / national schools. Maybe the guy just needs to work w/ ppl he likes, i dunno --- also, be sure you LIKE research and writing --- those should be considered fun before you get into it.

Thanks for the advice. I realize that NYLS is probably the highest ranked school I've gotten into, but their AAMPLE program doesn't exactly sounds promising since its success rate is really low; therefore, the chances of me actually starting there in the fall are pretty low. Plus, I'd rather head south for law school--the Chicago weather is too much for me! Looking at your profile, it appears as though you can sympathize with that :)

Yeah, as far as around 100, I was just referring to being a Tier 3 school according to U.S. News and World Report. Since they stop ranking the Tier 2s at 100, it's hard to put the schools in Tier 3 in a Cardinal order. Also, Arkansas has tettered at the Tier 2 status on a couple of occasions, so I just assume it's toward the "top" of the Tier 3 schools. And yes, as far as I understood the admissions people, all out-of-state applicants who are accepted are offered a tuition waiver to the amount of in-state tuition.

Dude! I think it's great that you metioned scouting. I am an eagle scout too. I had so much fun. I think you are great for being an assistant scoutmaster. That shows a lot of comitment. I think that helped you.

Hey, We have the same index number for John Marshall. When did you send in your application and when did you get your decision? Thanks

Thanks for the advice.

On the Lsac report, do you have a higher index number then this website has entered?

I have a higher index for Chicago Kent then this website has reported.

Thank you for the message...my apologies for the delayed response... have not logged into lsn for some time. Congrats on all your acceptances! you've applied to some great schools... right now out of my acceptances, coastal is on top (read my profile for more info)...i would like to visit widener however too..so we'll see. am still hoping for howard or cuny since ny/dc is the area i'm looking to work in and am also interested in public interest and they're the best in PI law. Good luck to u!

Check out my page! I am scared! I haven't heard back from 3 schools, and I've been waitlisted at 4, rejected at 3. Any advice, ANYONE, on what I should do?? I am currently requesting information on Master Degree programs, and I really like one at Keele University in England, BUT I have my heart set on Law School! I documented activity pretty well on my page, and hopefully some insight will help me out.

Hopefully I'll be joining you in August at JMSL (If I fall off of the waitlist), otherwise I'll start in January 08 and maybe get some help from you with my first semester classes! Good Luck!

Hi- I'm not sure if you still check this, but could you tell me more about your experience with your application to Thomas Jefferson? Turn around time, their eventual decision, experience communicating with their admissions office, etc? Would really appreciate it! Best regards, Chris
