Hopefully CA -> NY. NYU and and Georgetown have the most to offer in terms of entertainment, imo.

haha me too! I thought I was ready to go under the water and they still caught me off card. It was so quick I didn't even get to brace myself.
I'm honestly surprised I survived that. I had to have taken a breath underwater. Jesus must've given me gills for like 2 seconds.[/quote]
I know I took a breath because I felt the water all in my throat and lungs.

I just got that fee waiver from them and their Raza students told me to apply. They are my backup. Just waiting on my dang transcripts

So... All these fee waivers are useless at this point because i have no Lsat score. So why do they keep sending waivers that expire before i can even submit my app!?

You're forgetting about Boalt, the school I'm shooting for if i strike out at HYS and CCN.
Boalt is one of the schools with a pretty strict GPA floor right? I have a 3.4ish GPA so I feel a bit screwed for a couple of schools

Call it paranoia, but I'm now convinced that UCLA is either YPing me or they misplaced my application.

I think its the former, UCLA and Cal don't have state quotas like UT to fulfill.
