I'd say all that would beat this would be a similar (or larger) scholarship offer from a higher ranked school in your preferred region.

Finally listed as ready for review. Given their timeframe so far, I should be finding out on Christmas Eve.

My top choices now are UIUC and Texas. Wake if scholarships come into play. Still have a ton of pending apps at higher schools but I'm really happy with what I have now.

That's what I did with every school. I wanted to go above and beyond simply substituting "University of X" for "University of Y"

Re: Illinois 2011 applicants!
From reading interviews of Pless and speaking with him at the LSAC forum, i think it helps to write it. However, I think its more to show you're writing and persuasion abilities than showing interest in Illinois. But showing interest probably still helps some.

I wrote one but it was very informal. Explaining how my mentor/ favorite professor actually went to Illinois Law for a while and absolutely adored it and compelled me to similarly adore it

Re: Illinois 2011 applicants!
I wrote a specific one for only the schools that I really wanted to go to. If they had an optional one and I didn't have anything to say, I didn't write it. Similarly, if there was no option but I wanted to express my interest anyway, I sent one. Hasn't hurt me yet.athenian wrote:Lwoods wrote:I didn't write a Why Illinois essay, but I did include a Why Illinois paragraph in my PS.iwanta170 wrote:Congrats everyone! I'm happy for you guys.

Re: Illinois 2011 applicants!
For those of you who are up for a decision next Friday, does your status checker say Under Review yet? I went complete 11/15 although it now says 11/19, and mine doesn't say UR. I really hope I'm in the next batch tho!
