I got an e-mail that said "once again, congratulations!" so I know I've been accepted. For those who got scholarships: does it say what you've been awarded on the first page?

Could you pm me your stats?

probably not great. you are below the GPA median and you are pushing it close to the deadline. I'd say WL.

I'm going to withdraw my app today. Hopefully it opens a seat for one of you guys

My scholarship info was on the first page in the packet I received. No mention whatsoever in the generic emails.

Supersigh...

if you applied earlier you would probably be in rather easily though. is there a reason you're taking so long?

i am waiting on a transcript to be sent (from a #$%$% city college where i took ONE FREAKING SUMMER CLASS..told them back in november to send it in)...without it LSAC wont create a GPA file for me. What a stupid way to delay applications...maybe there is a way around this?


do you think that if i do early decision for 2012, i will receive a substantial scholarship?

no, ED is like the kiss of death for scholarships. they don't have to give them to you because you have to go regardless.

ah, of course.

Ok, so I am at a crossroads here. Apply now and maybe scrape in to loyola/pepperdine, or be the first one to have my application in for 2012 (non ED, of course).


or do both? is that bad?

[mistermister]

ahh! decision mailed today!

fwiw - applied on Halloween, LSAT above 75, GPA just below median.

[glitter178]

Decision letter mailed today. I live in SoCal so will probably get it soon.
for those curious: applied on Nov 1, complete Nov 15, numbers in profile.

I would say at least try for this cycle, and if it doesn't work out this time around, you'll at least be well prepared for next year's cycle. Also, about applying ED and getting scholarships... FWIW, I know that you can apply ED to Loyola and still receive a scholarship. Don't think you for sure won't receive a scholarship if you apply ED, especially with your numbers. Good luck with whatever you choose to do!

[longhornlaw]

decision sent via u.s. mail today as well. applied on 11/1, status checker sent 11/15.

[mistermister]

I live less than 20 minutes from the school... wish I could have just went to pick it up! lol

anyone who has been accepted with $$, did you have multiple LSAT scores? trying to figure out if they are going to average or take my highest score.

I had two scores, a cancellation, and an absence. I attached an addendum explaining everything though. I believe they recommend you attach an addendum if you have more than one score and a difference between them of more than a few points, because their policy is to average otherwise.

any chance you could PM me with your two scores? i'm trying to see if our situations are analogous.

thanks for your feedback. do they look down upon the fact that you are reapplying?

I honestly don't know. I know on the app they ask if you have applied previously and what the decision was. However, I can't imagine them holding a previous decision against you. But that is just what I think - I really don't know.

I would be very veryyy surprised if you didn't get in. Also, I don't think they will hold anything against people who are reapplying. Good luck!

going to have my application completed late jan.
what are my chances?

Based on LSN from last year:
2 URMs with around your stats got in.
2 non URMs with your stats got in.
1 URM w. your stats was WL.

I think going complete late Jan will result in a WL.
Out of the nonURMs that were accepted. Both submitted in Oct/Nov.
1 received 66K. The other received no $.
