Re: URM 2010-2011 Application Cycle
I’m confused. So far I have gotten messages from 5 law schools, each stating that I have a waived application fee. Funny thing is I haven’t sat for the LSAT. I take it on Saturday. Is that normal?

Yeah, that's normal, especially if you identify URM on your LSAC biographical data.DukeCornell wrote:I’m confused. So far I have gotten messages from 5 law schools, each stating that I have a waived application fee. Funny thing is I haven’t sat for the LSAT. I take it on Saturday. Is that normal?

Thanks! HAHHAHAHAHA I am VERY excited! I am from VA (so people around here view UVA like the rest of the country views Harvard and Yale) and it would be pretty sweet to go to UVA for free! I still have like 18 schools to hear from....but it's gonna be hard to beat a full ride at a top 10 school!

In at Vandy. Complete 11/22. They never updated my status checker so the package was a nice surprise today.

I understand your reasons but I would bet 50 dollas you get in.tkgrrett wrote:No Yale b/c A) I didnt go to a prestigious undergrad so I dont think my chances are amazingly high and i would like to keep my $112 and B) Even if accepted, I have a gf who will, most likely, be moving with me and will need to look for a job in a field that basically requires a decent sized city. Still, if I get a yes from Stanford I will throw an app Yale's way just to make sure all bases covered.High_Hopes wrote:why didn't you apply to yale and how did lsac drop your gpa so much?tkgrrett wrote:My lsn account is now in my profile for anyone who wants cycle details so far.
The difference in lsdas gpa and degree gpa is b/c I transferred schools after my freshman year(not so stellar). My degree gpa only includes my sophomore and junior year grades while the lsdas gpa includes all 3.

75k in total scholarship at Illinois via email this morning! I had already given up on this cycle after a lower than expected LSAT in October and this news was a shock of surprise. Studying for Feb or June test and if I do not improve my score high enough for T14 in fall of 2012 then I will be very grateful to attend Illinois fall of 2011.

Just FYI Duke wasn't really one of my priorities either, but then I went and visited and it's actually really awesome! So you should be very excited about this acceptance!!! Congrats!!!LuBru wrote:Thanks so much Fresh! It's about midway down my personal list, but it feels great to get that first admit and its in the T14!
