I went complete January 9, so I should probably be more patient. Hopefully they can catch up on everything.

I have you all beat....10/4 complete and silence. I applied for summer and I'm certain there are people who have gotten in for Fall at this point :?

I went complete 11/15, and around 12/15 I received and e-mail from them asking if I had considered starting in any of their non-fall quarters. I would guess that they don't change the status between Complete and Decision.

I see. I'm in California, so I'm guessing I'll get the letter by next week. Is it packet = acceptance and small envelope = WL or deny?

I got a big envelope with one piece of paper in it. It's the first (only!) acceptance I've received, and I was underwhelmed by its small size (TWSS). I don't know if other schools pack more stuff in their packets, but Baylor is definitely saving some ducats on postage.

Hey, just guessing you're also an Aggie (ole Army at that, looking at your profile)! Good luck with the rest of your applications! Thanks for the update about their letter size. Did you get an update through the status cherker, or did the letter just show up?

I've just always heard that Baylor's difficult 3rd year Practice Court program is extremely difficult and time consuming compared to most other law schools 3rd years. I've also heard that Baylor fails to foster a collegial atmosphere (i.e. students study non-stop during the week to leave for the weekend). It's been explained to me as though Baylor believes Law School to a boot camp type experience...

I'm just not sure how I feel about it..

I see. It seems like most schools have some element of that but that still doesn't sound as bad as the book stealing, blacking out pages, and other sabotage.

Two of the most universal complaints about law school are (1) the third year is a waste of time, and (2) students do not acquire sufficient practical skills. While Baylor's 3rd year sounds intense, students are benefiting, instead of paying $45,000 to bide their time until their job (hopefully) starts.

If students study intensely during the week in order to have free weekends (perhaps to enjoy the Waco nightlife?) that certainly sounds like an choice more than a requirement. If you prefer to relax your pace and devote some weekend time to studying, I can't imagine your performance will suffer. In fact I would imagine it is the healthier and more productive way to study.

I really like the idea of the trial advocacy program. Better to learn, gain experience, make 'rookie' mistakes in school than out there in the real world when client's fortunes/lives are on the line. And if I have to give a school three years worth of tuition, I like the idea of getting three years worth of product. I also like the idea of finishing in 2 1/4 years. Limiting the opportunity cost of law school is a big deal for students with families.

Not sure if serious. :D

Have you even been to Waco? My guess is that they are studying hard during the week so they don't have to spend time in Waco on the weekends. Waco is honestly one of the top reasons why Baylor isn't higher on my list. But that is just my personal opinion.

This is true. I went to Baylor undergrad and Waco is not very exciting at all. There are a handful of places you can go at night... but those get boring after a while. And you always see the same people there. I drove to Austin almost every weekend... which isn't too bad considering Austin and Dallas a little over an hour away.

Edit: I guess in that case you might as well go to UT or SMU lol. But Baylor's law school is beautiful, if that counts for anything.

Yeah it always bummed me out how attractive Baylor was since it was in such an otherwise gross location. Although I'm all about Catfish King.
