Yes, first comment! Glad you applied at UNLV. It should climb back to T2, but who knows. There's a new moot court being built right now! Meh, screw it. Go to Vandy! :)

Did you visit it? Look at the faculty also... pretty much all from T10 schools. It's not bad at all. They just fell to T3 because USNWR made endowment count for less than it did last time. Yeah, don't take part in "REBEL" celebrations. Unless they actually let you rebel and kick someone's ass.

Well, I go to Gonzaga now, as an undergraduate. I'm not FROM Spokane, per se, but this is my 4th year living in Spokane, so I suppose I can speak to its liveability. I really like it. It's a great college town and you'll be really close to some great (cheap) bars and the basketball is fantastic. I think you'd like it. Granted, it hasn't got the nightlife of Chicago or NYC, but it's a good place to meet a lot of young people. I like it. Good luck, man!

mind you "man" is generic...i'm well aware you're a female...wow...awkward...

On the UT-Knox acceptance! Now you can spend more time sending out good vibes for my first acceptance... ;)

What, hard to read through all the tears of joy, or hard because you were nervous? OK, I said "hard" one too many times. Anyway... here are some vibes for you: ~~~vibes~~~

Great news on UT, hopefully SU gets their act in gear so you can go complete soon.

Congrats on UT. I'm excited about Gonzaga, but UT is one of my top two. I would love to get in their. I know you will get into Gonzaga without a problem! Congrats again.

Good luck this cycle!

well done on UT! keep up the good work number buddy :)

Thanks for congrats on my first acceptance. In return, my congrats on UT. I considered UT as well, but Knoxville is too small for me. :-))) Sad to hear about DU. They have good Int'l program

They work! Annie (zotzot) has joined in, so maybe it'll become a trend on LSN... ~~

Yea I transferred from a CC. Right out of high school I wasn't quite ready for college got a 2.0 my first semester then my second semester I got a 3.19, and so on until I hit a 4.0. When I transfered I had a 3.19, and at my Univ I have a 3.96 (sigh) ty for the vibes! - zotzot11

Good luck on your cycle, I'm sure you'll end up somewhere great.

SU has a box to check on the deposit ticket if you want to take the summer course they offer. Something like 60% of the incoming class typically does it.

Seattle is pretty expensive, but you learn quickly as a student how to find nice places for relatively cheap around the city. Send me an e-mail if SU ends up being the place and I'll glady give you the lowdown on neighborhoods worth living in and better places to find housing than the big national websites.

Yeah Im hoping that they dont take that long, I was hoping to have made a decision by then. Good luck and lets hope we here sooner. Grats on UT-Know!

Hey thanks a lot!!! Hopefully you get into Seattle and we can start our own LSD get together there. Ha! Congrats on the Tennesse acceptance as well. I am still checking my status checker every five minutes even though it says Decision Mailed. I actually wish they would tell you their decisions right on the website. Now that would be sweet!! Good luck with everything else, and thanks for the good wishes!

I know how you feel with all the status changes to 'complete' - I've gone complete at over half a dozen schools in the past week. No rejections/acceptances... just completions.

the email didn't say anything about a scholarship, so you're definitely not out of the running. The award letter was consolidated into the acceptance letter they sent with the admissions package afterwards via snail mail, so you should know when you get your packet.

Glad to hear they finally changed it to complete. THey only update on Tuesdays...not that I didn't check it daily regardless. Just wait until it says "Decision Mailed", I've never been so neurotic. I'd say good luck, but I don't think you'll need it. I think Chiashu is greatly underestimating your chances.

best wishes to you on the accept letters... can i ask you how you did the apps through lsac? i'm kinda confused myself...thanks

in response to your comment: yes, i did sign a separate form to be considered for the tennesee law scholar program. china's going well, thank you very much! best of luck to you.

Good luck to you too! Looks like you're doing just as great this cycle!

Thanks wolfpack! I'm pretty happy that Seattle U came through with a good scholarship package. I really want to hear from UW still, but at least I know I can move to Seattle if I want to. I expected rejections from all the big name schools like Harvard, just figured I was only applying to law school once and had to take the shot. Good luck, I'll be keeping an eye on your progress.

so i agree. sundays suck. not because of church, which is actually quite good, but because i dont get mail either. saturdays suck too because my school decided not to deliver mail on saturdays either. wtf! smirnoff green apple huh? im more of a jack and coke guy myself, but if a law school admissions officer decided to buy me a drink i would have to go AMF all the way. bang for your buck right? anyways. good luck. hopefully you will be hearing form seattle soon. they should love your LSAT.

Thanks! I was pleased. ;) I like your "Sunday" comment. So... are you going to apply to GW?

thank you so much!!! i've got my fingers crossed for you and am really hoping your cycle turns out perfectly, because you are so nice and good people deserve good things. :)

Yes, I'm surprised to see that tempting fate has paid off so far. Thanks for the nice words, and good luck to you!

I felt the same way once I got into Rutgers, it's nice to pick and choose rather than being constrained to one school. Your Sunday comment is hilarious, but very very VERY true. Keep it up!

Thanks for the comment. I consider UNLV the school I can count on, for obvious reasons. ;-) My mom attended UNR and is now going to Boyd, so don't worry -- Wolves aren't discriminated against!

I'm so stoked! Ha! Thanks for the congrats. Hopefully you will get in as well. First Green Apple Smirnoff is on me! :) I am thinking that I will go up and visit next week. I will tell you how it goes!

thanks a bunch

Congrats on the scholarship to A.M!

You seem to really like Washington, any reason you didn't apply to UW? or am I just alone in my "shoot for the stars" lunacy?

... on 75k from Ave Maria! And Knoxville!

I haven't told you congrats yet on your Ave Maria Scholarship. WOW. That's a lot of money! You know, you really shouldn't stress about Seattle. I think you are getting in for sure. I only had like a 25-30% chance and got in. YOU have an LSAT 5 points higher than mine. You are good to go! PS. Hopefully you get accepted before Feb 16th, cause that is the open house day. If not, the next one is in March. Good luck. I will be prayin for your Seattle acceptance!

And grats on your U of T acceptance and 75k scholarship!!

Yea, congrats to you as well. I see you still have a lot pending. What school is your top choice? Have you heard anything about Tennessee scholarships yet? Good luck with the rest of your cycle.

Booooo on UW. Ha. Oh well, what were my chances, like 2%. Seattle is still by far my top choice. I really want to get into L&C and have a choice between those two. Hmm. Maybe you will get that choice too. That would be sweeeeeeet! Ha. Pullin' for ya!

Yeah, I think they're all dried up. Did I congratulate you on Ave Maria? Well, congrats! With $$ too! OK, here we go: ::channeling the Beach Boys:: ~~GOOD VIBRATIONS~~

Yeah, it finally came...but now I read your profile and see they sent you a CHRISTMAS CARD! I never got a Christmas card! :-( Anyways, you've got a great list of schools to choose from...especially all the ones in the Pacific NW! ;-) Good luck with this cycle!

Thanks for the warm wishes! Hopefully you will hear back soon. Yes, SU is the only school that I applied to. In my opinion, it's a great school and since I already have a FT job in a legal department at a great company in Seattle, the PT program is a perfect fit for me.

You have to be the sweetest LSDer about congratulating others! Thank you so much! It's always nice to get a high five from a fellow applicant. Especially since I am not telling anyone here about my cycle. I would hate the "aww that's too bad looks" haha. I'm hoping I'll have a chance to blow them away with my acceptance to GW PT. PLease GW, please please please lol.

Congratulations to you too on Ave Maria and Univ or TN!!!!!!!!

Thanks! Well, I decided to be a bit bold and email them to ask the status of my app. The very nice adcomm called me back almost immediately to let me know a decision had been made. After verifying I was who I said I was, she told me that I was admitted and that my letter went out in the mail today. I'm absolutely THRILLED about this. Go Vols! ;-)

I think it's safe to say this is one of those times when being bold paid off! ;-) I went to undergrad at MTSU and lived in Nashville for six years, so I think that helped with my request for in-state residency. Knoxville is gorgeous, and I'm excited about the prospect of being closer to Nashville again. Maybe we'll be 1Ls there? I see you applied to Vandy, too. Good luck!

Yeah, I tried not to be too obvious, but I was probably smiling like an idiot in the back row. I did hoever nudge the girl next to me (complete stranger) and I was like look! lol She said congratulations! haha Law school admissions are making me crazy lol!

Isn't the waiting so much fun? I'm pretty much going nuts over here as well. On the bright side, it's an accomplishment to be accepted into law school to start with. Why did you decide to apply to Seattle and Gonzaga but not UW? It seems like you would have a decent chance. Anyway, good luck...try not to stress out too much.

Hi there - thanks for the congrats :)! Regarding L&C's scholarship, I didn't apply for it seperately. It was mentioned in my admission packet. Good luck with the school! I live in Portland currently, and it is a beautiful place! Cheers!

No, I've scoured that site a few times, and read through the business letter that came in the mail and the only mention of money is that the notifications will be made as decisions are made. I'm thinking, though, that about the only way they'll sway me from W&L is a full ride, and it may even take a stipend. Thanks for the UMich condolences....as my favorite t-shirt says: Muck Fichigan.

I got my fee waivers through the LSAC.

I did get the cool magazine showing all of the million dollar homes in Minnetonka. The t-shirt was money though. St Thomas is really trying hard to establish themselves and the only alternative to UM.

Hope you've got a wheelbarrow for all that cash you're getting. Its TUESDAY, try not to wear out the refresh on SU.

The law school and the surrounding area is absolutely amazing. Portland is a beautiful place! -good luck

Thanks so much. It is definitely unbelievable. I'm still smiling like an idiot!

congrats on all the money you've gotten from st. thomas and ave maria. additionally, i noticed your comment about the t-shirt from st. thomas. i should note that depaul sent me a smedium (it says medium...) shirt. either i was profiled because i'm asian or they have a t-shirt size randomizer. good luck with your remaining apps, let's cross our fingers for ASU.

Congrats to you, soon-to-be esquire!

reasons not to go to st. thomas: 1. unranked, so no idea how the reputation will be received among law firms and how this could affect hiring practices 2. new, so not a large alumni base to network with when job searching i still might attend (i'm visiting this weekend) but those two things make me skeptical. however the full scholarship helps me deal with some of that skepticism

I just got the letter in the mail today. I've been checking this site every 15 minutes lately. Now that I'm finally in at one school maybe I can calm down.

Way to go...I hear it's beautiful up there!

On Gonzanga and the $$. Always good when stuff just falls into place, huh?

I gues it just takes the mail a little longer to get where you are.

I just found out from Gonzaga too. They sent me an e-mail to some admitted students online chat. Strange, but glad to know I was accepted.

Congrats on Gonzaga. How were you notified? Was the scholarship info by email or letter?

Congrats! =)

So they finally got to ya eh? That is so awesome. I actually went there this past weekend for a campus visit, and wow....Spokane really is a rad place. The law school was super nice too. Everyone was very friendly! Congrats again.

Thank you! I should hear from Michigan soon, so keep your fingers crossed for me! :)

... but I'm very "money", if I do say so myself! Thanks for the encouragement, looks like you're doing pretty well yourself! Good luck on Vandy, hope to see you at that ASW!

Thanks! I went complete there feb. 5 I believe. It looks like you are having a good cycle this year! Good luck.

thanks a whole bunch! you off to gonzaga?

School's cancelled, going snowboarding!

UNLV is definitely worth it! You got a wonderful scholarship and you shouldn't turn it down. I wish I did better on the LSAT, but I graduated high school in Vegas, so I'm hoping that I get in once they begin really looking at applications with lower LSAT's. I'm a terrible test taker, but other than that, I am a great teacher. The LSAT just doesn't have any math on it! Darn it! LOL! But UNLV is a very friendly school and the tuition is CHEAP AS CAN BE!!! I wish they'd hurry up and make a decision though!!!

Yay! Come to UNLV. The Moot Court building is almost finished, I think. Clean sweep so far... let's vibe it all the way through! ;)

Hey, I read your comment about getting a fee waiver from Lewis and Clark and wanting to go to their school after finding out how beautiful the place is. I had the same reaction and I think that Lewis and Clark were betting on our positive reaction to their location. After seeing their brochure they suddenly became my top choice among my target schools because I always wanted to move up north to get away from LA. This gives me the opportunity to do so. Plus their tuition and cost of living is cheaper than in California so that helps me justify the move if I get in. Maybe I will see you there this fall. That would be totally awesome since we are both enamored with their school and city. Good luck to you!

Congrats on your Acceptances! Whats your #1?

Definitely a huge weight off my shoulders seeing the first acceptance. It said something about there being scholarships available to students and I would be notified once a decision was made. The hand-written note at the bottom was def a pleasant and heartwarming surprise. It's nice to be treated like more than a bunch of numbers. And it's funny, my acceptance was dated March 1, the day after they told me that I was complete. Good luck on your other apps and congrats on your acceptances...I'm pulling for both of us to hit up Vandy.

Thanks! I will admit, I've been looking a lot more closely at UTK since I got the letter. The idea of leaving law school with almost no debt is VERY enticing. I don't want to make the decision until I visit my top 3 choices, though. It's basically a dead heat right now, though.

what do you know about this school? I'd like to visit but I don't think I can afford to w. work and all.... would like to hear more about them though

Congratulations on Tennessee. Friends of mine went there and loved it for friendly students and amiable professors. It would be one of my top choices if $$$ wasn't a factor.

Congrats on the Lewis and Clark acceptance. I got my deferral today though so maybe that slight GPA difference made the difference. From your comments it seems as though you will not be attending because they didn't give you a scholarship. I've thought about that too and for me I will be attending even if they don't give me one. So if you don't want to go, do withdraw whenever you make the final decision. If you are going, I hope to see you there this fall, if I get in that is. So, what's your top choice now? lol

Congrats on LC. I am SERIOUSLY jealous. I screwed myself by not telling them to hold my app for my new LSAT. It SUCKS!

On all of your acceptances!

The above person was deferred with a 3.16 and a 165 yesterday. That makes me feel better but it must mean that someone in the admissions office has been drinking lately. They'd better resolve this issue soon. Thanks for your kind words as well. I know it does suck that you can't give your spot to someone else. I can't afford to go to law school without financial aid either but I can take out loans from the federal government. I would assume you could do so as well unless you have a high EFC. Mine was just $1,200 so that basically means I am dirt poor. It should have been zero though. You may want to contact Lewis and Clark if you would really like to go there since they would probably offer you some way of attending. They could probably help you get some good loans. If I went I know I would want someone as nice as you at the same school.

GO TIGERS! :)

I got my financial aid offer from UTK this week as well. It did not include my scholarship offer, so hope may still be alive.

My financial aid offer from UTK did not mention any scholarships. I, like you, was just about to write them off until I received a scholarship offer separately in the mail. Don't lose hope. I visited this weekend, it is a great school.

would just tell u to just withdrawn so they could have a chance psh....and u couldnt have said anymore better...they should have gotten it on the first try LOL....ANYWHO congrats on your cycle and good luck on your decisions!

I am leaning towards LC. Even though I like the scholarship offer from Seattle, and the fact that I would have an apartment RIGHT across the street from the school, I LOVE Portland. It is amazing. Although LC is more liberal than I would ideally want, I think it creates an uncompetitive environment. I am all about being happy living in city I go to law school in. I know I will love Portland. I sure hope you decide to take Portland over Spokane. Im going to request you as a friend on MySpace. (I saw it on your profile on LC Admitted Students Website) Let me know more info about your decision. :) Good Luck!

I also hope to get into Lewis and Clark because it is still my first choice out of the schools that I will likely get accepted into. It's great that you are seriously considering L&C for those reasons because they are the same ones that attracted me to their school. I too am looking for a school that not only provides an excellent education but also great quality of life since I will likely be staying in the city for more than just 3 years. Additionally, they are cheaper than most California schools so that is a bonus. It's hard waiting for them because I want to attend so badly. Even my family is starting to support me on this move. Now it's up to Lewis and Clark to get this done. Nothing I can do but wait. I e-mailed them a letter of continued interested a few days before the deferral so they know I would go. Let me know if you choose to attend because we might be classmates this August.

Just requested you :)

Well, as much as it sucks that you won't be coming to Knoxville with us, I'm glad you've decided as well! Congrats!

Have you made decisions on where you are going to go? I am in at Gonzaga but I want to know how the school is like. UNLV just got back in top 100. Are you thinking there also?

What made you decide Gonzaga over some others? I am still waiting to hear from them, but I will seriously consider it over say ASU or UNLV also...I just wanted to know about it made you decide...I mean I am sure it s beautiful campus and all, but do you want to work in Washington, or was it the money? Anyhow congrats.

I think you made a good decision. For one thing, RANKINGS DON'T MEAN JACK!!! So just because Gonzaga is ranked lower than some other schools doesn't mean it's not as good of a school. People should start paying attention to their own needs instead of the rankings. So good luck to you. Enjoy Washington.

Hey, I just layed down a deposit at Gonzaga today. Im interested in speaking with other people who are going there. Drop me an e-mail if you want to chat.

Congrats on choosing Gonzaga! I have a feeling I might see you up there in Spokane, best of luck getting everything together!

Yeah, I was fortunate enough to win the Thomas More public service scholarship. It's an exciting time, to be sure! Who knows, maybe we will be 1Ls together : )

Congrats on Gonzaga! You got some nice money from them, too! The winter will be harsh... I'll just have to stock up on North Face coats and Michigan sweatshirts.
