Got the Dean's Scholarship today at Cornell! It's $45,000/year, so so far it's my biggest offer. I'm hoping my luck holds out through my AnBryce interview.

Seriously.... First, I tore my ACL allowing me to get my MBA through a 5yr program. Then, I miraculously didn't get a contract to play professional basketball in Europe this year (after being an All-American and all the accolades). Because of that, I ended up studying for the Dec LSAT like a full time job to land the 170. There was no rhyme or reason for my agent to not get me a pro gig. And I couldn't have played pro ball and gotten into Harvard.
Stay positive TLS URMs.

A friend of mine was screwed over from playing ball in Europe due to some shady visa issues...Congrats again your story is certainly awe inspiring. Give JR a call at Harvard and tell him they could use a few more Texans up in Cambridge. Now that would be amazing haha
