Just got emailed that I was selected as an alternate for USC's Rothman Scholarship. Almost wish they would have just outright rejected me so I can stop obsessing until April lol.

Deadline was in January when most of us were probably still brain dead after applying.

Providing yet another data set for future Hispanic applicants.
I applied to several schools in the T14 with decent outcomes; my LSAT is below the 25th across the board.

In: UVA, NU, GULC; finalist for PILS at GULC.
WL: CLS, UChi, Penn
Waiting for: NYU, H

GPA is 3.9x - definitely think that helped.

EDIT: was being T14 specific so I left out other acceptances: BU (75k), Fordham (45k), Northeastern (Full)

Wait... "topic"... singular? Is that going to be a thing on this thread now? If so, I'm out!

What do you do??

I'm hoping SEO doesn't discriminate against those who have worked in a law firm..

Well I guess they have a final 4 that they actually bring to campus to interview in person and I'm an alternate for that. So hopefully one of them doesn't show up!
