URM 2014-2015 Cycle Thread Forum

[Dream_weaver32]

I wrote a long post in the google group. Nobody really replied.

I just saw the 509 for UChi you posted. Hard to believe they don't have a single Native American student.

Yeah, I will. Going to live in the Google group, where everybody knows your na-a-ame.

Check your PMs

Thanks for the support.
I'm just hoping to have half as good a cycle as some of the other people here.

Your success is all but guaranteed. Good luck!

It's a win for the URM forum that we finally got this guy posting here.

Welcome! It's up to you, but there's no reason to be shy about your results here...good or bad, we are always upbeat and encouraging.

I imagine it's better than posting on facebook every other week, lol:

Accepted - Howard ($), American, Pace ($), Hofstra, UBaltimore & Chicago-Kent ($)
Waitlisted - Cardozo, BLS, Drexel, Fordham, Temple and W&L
Reject -BC, UGA, UMD, UVA

Good luck! I bet you'll have a few more acceptances!!

You're almost certainly going to have the best cycle in this thread. And that's really saying something.

That certainly is saying something because there are some certified superstars in here

Welcome to the newbies!! Congrats so far and best of luck on the remainder of your cycles!

This corner of TLS is really my favorite. It's a party!

Welcome new people!

hi! I'm new to this thread

MA/Female/165/3.98

i was wondering if there was a new thread for this year's cycle or if we are just continuing on in this one?

also are you guys sending in updated transcripts? my gpa probably went up a little but nothing significant so i wasn't sure if i should or not…
~the only schools i haven't heard from are Stanford (complete 11/11) and Harvard (JS1 1/6)

Welcome!

Not sure about a new thread for this year's cycle, as we are still in the 14-15 cycle. A thread for 15-16 probably won't appear until mid-May.

I think the general wisdom is to send the transcripts if they help you, even if it's just a little.

Congrats on getting your JS1! Based on your numbers, I am sure you've had a lot of success to this point.

Love all the new people ITT! Welcome

Thanks! Really hoping for one of the big three left. Interviewed with WUSTL and it seemed to go very well. Hopefully I get some positive news soon.

I think an interview at WUSTL is a really positive sign -- so fingers crossed. On another note, I only know one guy who went to Howard ('11), but he's at a top 10 DC firm. That may be worth exploring, but I don't know the school's stats overall.

I think HUSL gets a bad rep because of its ranking. They are a great school and produce top notch attorneys. Law firms flock there to fill their diversity requirements (ignorance is bliss). I'm visiting 3/6 for their open house so if anyone wants to meet up in DC message me.

As for WUSTL, judging from this site, and past cycles I think an interview is a great sign. I recorded it and watched the video a few times. I don't think my answers/questions could have flowed better and there wasn't any awkward pauses or stumped moments. I've been checking the application status religiously so hopefully I'll be getting in soon.

Here's a few questions for everyone: what kind of law do you want to practice? Public or private sector preference? When is too late to file a FAFSA (waiting on my 2014 w2)

[nguzman]

Checking in finally, been lurking for a bit.

Cycle is almost done, waiting on the last school. PR & AA Female/158/4.0X

In at: UVA, UT, William and Mary, UNC, Wake Forest, Tulane, Florida, Richmond, Miami, and WVU (my UG instution)
WL: UGA
Pending: Duke


P.S. Don't want to do Big Law, so T14 isn't my ultimate goal. Hope everyone else's cycle finishes great!

This. I remember my senior year and hating everything about being in classes with people I hated. Now I'm ready for a break from the working world and to learn some new shit (even though I love my office and my colleagues). I guess it's a seesaw.
