Thanks man! USD is my top choice right now. Being from San Diego and knowing how awesome the city is makes the decision a little easier. I am retaking the LSAT in June to try open some more options for either this cycle or next. Good luck with the rest of your cycle!!!

By the way, given your experience working with children of underprivileged backgrounds I would recommend watching the movie "Short Term 12." It is amazing. Best movie of the year.

If you don't get into USD or off the waitlist at Hastings....Pacific dropped farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr in the rankings. Use that U$F money to get more out of Sacramento. Good luck with your cycle!
