+1 to Florida State Admissions Committee
Posted: Tue Apr 19, 2011 3:46 pm
Just wanted to recognize spectacular diligence which should serve as a model to all other law school admission committees.
Monday April 11th I recieved an e-mail from Florida State urging me to complete my pending application on LSAC because the deadline was approaching (5/1). Tuesday evening I did just that and submitted it shortly before midnight. Wednesday I received the usual e-mail about on-line status checkers and their process. Friday (4/15) I checked my status online and saw that a decision had been made and I would be informed via snail mail (my words, not theirs). I thought that surely this was a mistake so I dialed the admissions office and was told that a decision in fact had been made and I had been admitted to Florida State college of Law, class of '14.
I'm still waiting on Alabama since early March, and have narrowed my decision down to Tennessee, Alabama (pending their decision), and now Florida State. I think I will only go the FSU route if their is some money involved, which I doubt being this late in the cycle. Regardless, I was incredibly impressed with their quick review and decision of my application and wanted to recognize it and encourage future applicants to consider FSU. Far too many topics try and foresee the future based on the wait times some schools give us. I too am a victim of this, still in limbo w Alabama which is my top choice.
I encourage posters to also publicly recognize law schools that have a reasonable or expediant wait time, and hopefully this can provide guidance for future law applicants. If you have an anecdote, perhaps keep it to the top-100 schools b/c while diligence in reviewing our applications is always appreciated, I find that the snail's pace is common practice among the T1 and T2 schools.
