What did everyone do for the High School GPA box? I have no idea what mine was. I know for a fact my high school didn't give out class rank. Do they really want to look at that? Do I have to call up my high school tomorrow afternoon and have them send me a copy of my transcript?

And what has everyone done with the speeding tickets box? I probably have about 10 or so traffic tickets in my past, but none of them were serious. Do I have to remember the exact infraction and/or fine and what it was bargained down to? Or can I be general? I honestly can't remember all of them.

I suppose I could call the admissions office some time this coming week and ask what they, but I want to get this done tonight, and was wondering if anyone else had gone through this.

HS gpa? i hope i'm not missing it, but i scrambled back to it when you said that, and I'm not seeing it. with tickets they want anything that's not a parking ticket. I disclosed 2 traffic tickets from when i was 17. just gave the location, the infraction, the date, and the finding.

ie, speeding ticket in town of x for imprudent speed of 1-10 mph over speed limit in a 55 mph zone on x/x/xx, pleaded no contest and paid fine.

They have you list your primary school and have a box for class rank and GPA.

Anyway, I don't even remember exactly what my tickets were for or their exact dates. Some of them were over 10 years ago, and it's not like I keep a list. I tried looking them up online on the circut court database, but they're so old they seem to have been purged from there. I got one for doing a rolling stop some time during the spring of when I was 18, one for going through a yellow turning red light when I was that same age. I have no idea what they were bargained down to, the exact dates, etc.

I got letters from Jurisdictions that purged old tickets stating that they had nothing on file for me.

Talked to admissions today. December LSAT scores have been received and status checkers should update soon!

Oh, the common information form? I didn't think that was actually part of the application, but a form LSAC uses to automatically fill out as much of the apps as it can for you. At least that's what I've been getting from the few I started. I left the GPA/Rank blank.

Yeah, you are right...that was on the common form.

I just talked to them, and they said that as long as you are approximate with your traffic tickets, that is fine. I had to do mine from memory, but this exercise just reminded me that since I turned 16, I have gotten 11 tickets for either speeding or doing a rolling stop at a sign. I only have one BS one in the last 4 years though.

Anyone seeing movement today?

Nope. Still 'In Review'.

But then again, I was accepted at WUSTL back in early December and my status still says complete FWIW.

Damn. Congrats on WUSTL!

Haha thanx! My point was simply that I don't trust the status checkers 100%.

Hey, people who have been admitted for much longer than I have: how long did you wait to hear about financial aid? Or are you still waiting?

I only got one letter since accepted. And it was just "Hey, look at us! This is what is good about us!"

Hey, people who have been admitted for much longer than I have: how long did you wait to hear about financial aid? Or are you still waiting?

I was admitted before Christmas and still have not heard anything about financial aid.

[robin600]

Nothing for me and I'm at the 75th.

I think they don't start doing financial aid until at least the middle of February. So...another month and a half to go at minimum.

Still In Review since 11/24...

tik tok, tik tok...

Still In Review since 11/24...

tik tok, tik tok...

You and I both. Seems like a lot of acceptances have gone out already. Why don't they just send out the rejections already...

Hmm...I never thought about that being a reason for us not hearing anything yet, lol

[lewis louis]

Probably waiting to see if its waitlist or reject.

Well, I'm off.

I know my numbers right now are borderline, but I do qualify for in-state and I have some softs that should work to my advantage. I think I have a good personal statement, too. It makes me feel better that, looking at last year's stats, someone with similar stats to me got in after working out of state for a bit and coming back. She applied earlier in the cycle, though.

I am signed up for the February LSAT. I still haven't scored up into my PT range, and I hope that having some applications already out will help me relax and concentrate more in 4 weeks. Even just raising my score two points would do wonders.

I hear ya, just got mine sent in on the 6th. I'm really excited, but UW doesn't have a reputation for accepting splitters. Hoping my LSAT has them reconsider, I'd give anything to be there.
