Re: In at University of Houston
I wouldn't over analyze too much, I don't think it is that big of a deal to them...as long as your cordial in your email I doubt they'd have a problem.G_Girl4098 wrote:I've thought of doing that but I don't want them to get a negative impression of me.

Maybe so.
Any idea if there has been a high number of PT apps this year because of the economy?

Re: In at University of Houston
I emailed UH an LOCI and asked them about the what "hold" status means? The lady told me that it meant that a status meant that the file had been reviewed and that a decision has been made, but they were holding out on mailing the decisions out. Judging by how a lot of people get emails from UH about their acceptances, i'm starting to think that those letters they're holding onto might be dings but I am not sure

I'll be disappointed if that's the case, since my numbers put me at about 50-50 at UH.

I'll be really pissed that they didn't WL me too. If I'm 50-50 and don't get pass the initial screenings, WL me.

Isn't Houston building some kind of suite for 1L's next year?

UH has built a new apartment building solely for graduate students. It is directly across the law center and opens in August.Archon D: terrorface wrote:Isn't Houston building some kind of suite for 1L's next year?

If it came down to UConn pt. and Houston pt. and you did not care where you practiced out of school AND you were solely concerned with private practice career prospects, which would you choose and why?

Re: In at University of Houston
Well thats a difficult question to answer if you don't care where you want to work, but i'll bite.A'nold wrote:If it came down to UConn pt. and Houston pt. and you did not care where you practiced out of school AND you were solely concerned with private practice career prospects, which would you choose and why?
I'd say Houston PT because not only is it the highest ranked school in Houston (4th largest city in the country), it also has portability in the state of Texas which in and of itself is a very insular legal market. They don't pinch too far from out of state unless its a school like Tulane which is very close or somewhere like a T14 or something.
My guess it that UConn would give you good prospects for working in the Northeast, but there are so many higher ranked schools that are in the big city markets (take BC and BU for Boston and NYU/Columbia/Fordham for NYC respectively for example)
But once again it is not impossible to find good private firm jobs out of either school, but it all boils down to where you want to work...

Re: In at University of Houston
TX resident = Houston
Con Resident = Con
Non resident of both = Choose based on scholarship and where you want to work.
Both are largely regional schools, and it depends on your preference for quality of life and so on. For me, Vandy is very expensive and Houston - especially if they offer money - would be a great option for me as an instate resident. I'm planning to work in Texas anyway, so yeah. It just depends. Money is more important now than ever - and to some extent, I think cost might be more important than general rankings.

Re: In at University of Houston
Also I have a question....
To those of you who got "Hold" on your status checkers, have any of you guys been notified of being accepted (email/snail mail/phonecall/etc)
I am afraid that those "held" decisions might be waitlists and dings...but I can't say that for sure

If the ticker says decision rendered and I have yet to receive the acceptance email, am I to assume I have been rejected?

When did the status change??? I am guessing if it says decision rendered instead of "hold" you are probably in...but they probably are waiting to get all the decisions made before they notify youperin wrote:If the ticker says decision rendered and I have yet to receive the acceptance email, am I to assume I have been rejected?

LoL, last time I saw it (in Dec.) it was still the skeleton of the building. Hopefully they stay on schedule.joonix wrote:UH has built a new apartment building solely for graduate students.

Not to state the obvious, but it probably means they are still deciding. If you don't mind, when did you go complete?joonix wrote:anyone's status ever stay "In Review" but have the date change? wonder what this means.

Re: In at University of Houston
I've been In Review since last month, but today the date updated to today's date. They don't usually update the date only, so it was weird. At SMU for example, the people this happened to ended up getting accepted a few days later.perin wrote:Not to state the obvious, but it probably means they are still deciding.

Wait, so did you apply to Vandy and not to UT?
