Anybody heard back from SMU? Forum

The longer my phone goes without ringing the higher my blood pressure goes. Guess that's the thing about having all your eggs in one basket - it's all or nothing...

+1. It's 5:30 now, so I'm hoping for another round of calls tomorrow. As slow as they move, I don't think a second day of calls is all that unlikely. Of course, that's a selfish hope, too.

Did anyone here apply early (November) with an LSAT score, then retake it in December?

Are we still considered Early Decision? My status still says "Completed" but without the date change.

Dallas Josh, I will dance with glee when you get in. You seem to be the most tormented of the applicants over the wait. I'm rooting for you!

[DallasJosh]

Screech. Thank you. I guess I just put so much into this because it's such a big life change for me. We just had our second baby girl (big sister is 2 years old) this past Thursday and it's a huge step to take with a family and responsibilities.

**Trying to stop holding my breath since it seems the calls have ended for today. Sigh**

Congrats, Dad!

It really is a big step, but life is made up of steps like this! Big and little. Best of luck!

+1 If Law schools took the time to get to know the people that apply to their institutions, they'd be hard pressed to turn down a lot of us. We go through a lot of agony for this chance to get a legal education (some more than others of course, I dunno if i'd be able to do this with a family and everything).

Best of luck to everyone

Congrats from one dad to another! I've got an 8 y/o and a 16 month old, so I know how you feel. Keep the faith, it will all work out!

[DallasJosh]

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes. I'm trying to just set my hopes for mid next week when the letters should start arriving in the mail. Although a phone call tomorrow would be greatness.

[DallasJosh]

Everybody thinking good thoughts today?

[screech]

Well, it IS a Friday, and you know what they say about Fridays....A lot of schools make their acceptance calls then.

[kimberbug]

It will ring, I know it will ring...
