In at Denver... Forum

[chrisbru]

Hi! Just joining this forum!

I got accepted in December with $$$, and am very excited at the possibility of going there. If I get into CU this month, I will have a really hard decision to make (if I decide a definite on the state of Colorado)!

Are a lot of you trying to decide between the two schools? Is there a VERY big advantage to actually being located in Denver?

I don't know for sure, but it sounds like there's a bigger advantage to being a CU graduate than a DU graduate. Being located in Denver for school isn't a big deal, since Boulder is a pretty quick drive from Denver.

So, how long have you guys had to wait for a response? I just sent mine today. I don't have high hopes, but I figure it can't hurt to apply. Thanks!

I submitted 12/15. Application has been sitting as complete since then.

Ditto, give or take a few days.

I submitted on 11/9 and it has been complete/ready for review since 11/23. I have a low LSAT though so I probably won't get reviewed until later in the season.

Nope. Judging from others' experience, I'll get that either in a separate email or snail mail.

Anyone else find it odd that you have to send them an official transcript from your UG/schools? lol.

Saw that, thought it was weird. Oh well, hoops and such to jump through

YAY! Me too!!!!

Iowa asks for an official transcript too. I think it's *more* for the students that are still completing their undergrad, to confirm that they did, in fact, finish their UG degree... But they just make everyone do it.

PS - Congrats everyone! Now if I only had a letter from CU when I got home too...

Damn, no scholly email for me yet. Did y'all get it via email, I'm assuming?

Yeah, it was an email. I'm hoping for you!

How much will Friday night snowboarding then drinking be a part of your lives assuming you go to DU and have time?

I assume quite a bit for myself.

[krad]

I live 10 min from DU. I like to snowboard every weekend and I like to drink every weekend.

So, if I'm there count me in!

Totally down. (Except I ski!)

What's weird in thinking about law school is that I might actually be able to do stuff like snowboard on a weekday. Can't do that when you're at work all day, every day!

Congrats to all who got acceptances! Anyone going there for sure? Or is everybody still waiting on other offers?

Also, I'd like to join the State of Colorado Law Students Drinking/Snowsporting Club as well. Can anyone come up with a good name/acronym?

[Adrian Yale]

All the cool DU 1ls next year should pony up and get a penthouse at a resort on Fri night. Snowboard/ski, drink, party, and avoid the worst of decisions.

Definitely a viable option, I don't necessarily want to leave CO and with that $$$ we'll have to see what happens with CU.

Depends on if/what DU offers for $$, as well as what happens with CU and U Minnesota. Secondly, depends on where my gf gets into her grad program. If anyone has connections in the CSU Therapy programs, hook us up so I can finally be a Colorado transplant like I've wanted to be since the age of 12.

Totally depends on $$$. I'm applying for the Chancellor's Scholly, but I have also applied for similar programs at other schools. I love Colorado, but am open to moving.
