No UT love?

I've got some UT love!


Not sure if I'm attending yet, but it's in my top 3 I'm hoping there is a big scholarship waiting for me in the mail...


Are you going to the law preview day? Luckily I can combine it with a visit to UK Law the day after.

I've got UT love, too bad it's unrequited love though....for all of you who were admitted and end up marticulating good luck. Maybe I'll see you 2L year as a transfer.

I'm attending. Go Vols!

I'll be at law preview day! See y'all in 1 week!

Visited on Friday and just paid my seat deposit! I'm a Vol!

I visited as well on Friday. I wasn't overly impressed. They didn't really sell the school at all, and I was a bit shocked that I was the only one from above the Mason Dixon line to visit. I felt very out of place being there. Lovely building and faculty though.

I'm sorry you felt that way! UT is very dominated by Southerners. I kind of appreciated the fact that they didn't oversell the school though...I got that at IU and it was a total turn off. Just my personal opinion.

I reckon a southern regional would be dominated us southerners. I hope you find the school for you. It's an important choice. Good luck!

Hello All: I was in Knoxville last week for a death in the family. I went to downtown Knoxville and said heck, why not stop by the law school. Surprisingly there was an open house for undergrads and I found my way through campus (in the pouring rain!). Anyways, I loved the campus, the area, and resources... I've been looking more into the university and have put serious thought about applying-- despite being so late... stats are 155/3.6 strong softs-- former collegiate football player (looking to get into sport and entertainment law) and Non-URM.

With my numbers, is it worth sending in an application this late in the cycle? I understand that UT's deadline isn't until August, but I figured it would be nice to get some opinions here... thank you


SN- I posted this in another discussion, but appreciate your opinons as well!! Thank you

Are you a a TN resident? It's very very late in the cycle to be applying. I know that you probably don't want to hear it, but if you just study a wee bit more and get up to a 157-159 you'll have a great shot to get in next cycle.

It all really depends I suppose. I don't think it would hurt to throw in an application, it seems like they are really low on applications this year. I had a lower LSAT than you and a higher GPA and was admitted, but I applied in late October. Being a TN resident will help tremendously.
