I was accepted pt yesterday. Currently the ft is full but pt should have a few more spots opening this week. Good luck to everyone waiting.

I was e-mailed prior to acceptance asking if I was admitted would I accept pt stating ft is full at the moment and pt had a few openings. If I'm eventually accepted ft prior to august orientation that would open another pt slot. I'd expect some more offers today and tomorrow I got mine early evening.

Did they give you a deadline on your decision?

What I find weird is why they would be taking FT people for PT status, when they already have PT waitlist!!!!!

That makes no sense on how they are going about this....as this is not fair to FT or PT people. Afterall, we had the choice of applying either PT or FT, so you should be considered accordingly, unless they have offered all the waitlisted people. Ahhh well...just throwing in my two cents. But seriously, they need to be more considerate of people waiting.

For anyone who is admitted FT, they've released sections under your PeopleSoft!

I completely agree with you. I paid for and applied for my application to be considered for PT this entire time --- NOT FAIR, but brose is right...it's a number game

I requested PT consideration back in mid-May and received the following response from Pam Thomas-Hill:
"Good day!  Thank you for contacting us and your ongoing interest in the University of Houston Law Center JD Program.  An applicant is only allowed one application per admission cycle."

Yep, they just want good stats....I applied for part time because i have to keep my fulltime job while I am in school...Now i kind of wish i had applied for full time then they would probably consider me for PT alot sooner then the pt waitlist

I think they allow you to make the switch when your application is under consideration....they basically want you but because of the lack of space in FT they offer PT instead

FYI, we are now enrolled in our sections.

I hate to have to agree but in large part it is about numbers (especially since USNWR now includes part-time GPA and LSAT scores as part of the incoming class metrics). I was hoping for a part-time offer (after applying full-time) last year and did not get one, but they did offer several people on the full-time waitlist part-time admission. I’m sure it is attractive to potential full-timers considering the relative ease in moving between the programs.

That said, there’s no telling what the current class makeup is or what characteristics they might be looking for to round things out. It's not over till it's over. Good luck to everyone still waiting!

They gave me until July 29 to pay and send in my commitment form.

thanks and Congrats to you!! I am hoping they have a few seats left to still make offers...

[KFerrell]

I was sent the same email and acceptance on Tuesday... But I'm struggling with what to do with it. Part time wasn't my plan ...

Thanks a lot I hope all of you get offers, I definitely think at least a few people will drop from ft prior to orientation so that should open both ft and pt spots.

I applied to FT and was accepted to PT last year. It's actually not a bad deal at all. If you want to go to UH, you can still graduate in 3 years if you switch over to FT after your first year.

If anyone has any questions I'd be happy to answer them.

[baberuth13]

is everyone on the waitlist currently enrolled at other schools?

When I was on the waitlist, I had already paid the deposits at Tech?
