Top Law Schools

I amended my applications this week when I realized I shouldn't have omitted an institution on my app. Yesterday I emailed all the schools adding the institution and explaining my mistake.

Here's the problem. One school sent me an acceptance two hours after I sent the amendment, and has not confirmed receiving the amendment even now.

Another school accepted me last week. I haven't sent them anything yet because I'm not sure how to do so since they already accepted me.

1) What do I do about getting the amendments onto essentially two already decided applications?

2) Are the amendments to the decided apps going to keep me from passing the bar, even though I tried to notify all the schools at once as soon as I realized my mistake?

3) Does withdrawing the application I got accepted on last week negate the need for an amendment?

Or is this totally not a big deal and I should chill out? Because that's a distinct possibility.

My gut says you're okay. I'm not sure what institution is that you've omitted, but I think you're fine barring that institution from being something that would raise red flags (like you were suspended for a year and had to go to another school, or something).

Is there something about that institution that you were trying to hide?

If not, you're probably fine. If so, then you might have a problem.

It really depends, as stated above, on the nature of the ommission. If you ommitted something that would weaken your app to a significant point, then maybe it would. Maybe you could call on Monday and speak with someone if you're very worried about it..

It was an institution I withdrew from because of health problems in my first semester. A pure misunderstanding based on transcript requirements versus listing requirements in the education section, and I owned up to my mistake in the amendment. 8/10 schools got the amendment before a decision, but I realized too late for the other two. It's clear from the timing of my emails that I tried to amend the second one before my decision was sent, though, but I got the decision a few hours later.


Does the bar look at all applications, or only the one to the school you attended? Or does that depend on the state?
