Some club sports, taught a sport over the past few summers

So I have gone through a ton of these profiles, and while a lot can be figured out through the patterns, with the new change this year I'm sure there are some people who wanna see what happens to a guy with 3 lsat scores. I took my first in sept., (163) second in dec. (162) and third in feb. (166) I applied in late december to all the schools, and every rejection so far has only taken into account the first two scores. I am aware that I will still get rejected from a good deal of the other schools, however depending on how heavily the 166 is weighed, I think a few could go in the other direction...

Update: Appealed GW rejection, got my app taken back to committee, amazing what a stupid minor increase on a test can do, or hopefully do...

Update: Shocked at Emory Waitlist, I thought I should have gotten in with my old 163 LSAT, let alone a 166...I know they are one of the few schools that claim to strictly average, but personally, while this may be a simplistic argument, if you get to report my highest LSAT in your stats, I think unfair for you to strictly average me....nevertheless, I emailed them asking if they actually took my Feb score into account, and they claim they are now resending my application back to committee...

Update: First Fordham Status checker update in a long time and I'm still deferred, and still haven't heard back from any of the places...I feel like I'm gonna have some terrible luck and end up having one of the highest final scores on LSN to not get into fordham

Update: 26k from brooklyn, giving it the edge over Cardozo for now

Update: Notre Dame waitlist, kinda surprised about that, but much more importantly, that Emory waitlist quickly turned into a 18k scholarship admittance...first real signs of the highest lsat doing something, now I wish BU and BC would come around

Update: BC Acceptance! And finally I can tell myself taking the test 3 times was worth it

Update: Cornell "reserve", pretty disappointed as this was my first choice, but oh well, I'll try to keep up hope

Update: Georgetown rejection for FT and PT, kinda disappoinetd with the PT rejection as I thought I had the numbers but oh well

Update: Fordham Acceptance via the status chcker after originally being put on, "second evaluation". Feb score comes to the rescue again

Update: Cardozo upped its offer to $27,500, nice amount but dunno if I can go with them over fordham or BC

Update: Waitlisted at Vanderbilt and Florida

Update: Waitlisted at BU. People with my stats were getting merit aid there, and I'm waitlisted. Emory is supposed to be a school that averages, not BU...dunno what happened

Update: Now I know what happened...following in Emory's footsteps, BU didn't take my Feb LSAT into consideration, and are now going to evaluate me again. Lets hope they finish off the way Emory did (with some good aid as well)

UPDATE: Big day today, went to see BU and BC. First, I go into BC, and I hand them my other offers. After my tour, the admissions officer offers me 45k, (15k per year). Next, I go to BU, ask to talk to an admissions officer. I tell her that I believe they didn't take my Feb LSAT into consideration, and that BU is one of my top choices. An hour later on the ride home, I get a phone call from the officer accepting me. Good day I'd say.

Update: UCLA Waitlist

Update: Penn waitlist, and the incessant begging will commence

Update: And Duke rejection ends the cycle...but not the waiting...I am completely undecided between BU, BC and Fordham. What would make this decision a lot easier would be if Cornell would accept me off the reserve list (or if somehow the stars aligned in such a way to allow Penn to take me off the waitlist). But, assuming these unlikely events don't occur, I have to make this choice really soon.

Update: Brooklyn upped their offer to 32k per year even though I didn't send a deposit in for the scholarship...still not gonna be enough

Update (6/21): Brooklyn upped to 37k, Cardozo offered full scholarship plus 10k stipend, still won't do it though. Between BC and Fordham at this point, want to probably work in New York at a firm but BC is offering 15k. I am still praying for Cornell, although it seems clear that waitlists work by favoring splitters so I'm starting to accept my fate

Update (6/28/07): Phone call from Vandy dean of admissions accepting me off the waitlist and giving me a week to accept the offer....
