Should I even apply? Santa Clara is not my first choice but I am from SJ and I have family there. I wouldn't mind going. I haven't written my DS yet. What do you all think? Otherwise I will just retake the LSAT in June.

I had a 158/3.66 and got a scholarship offer with acceptance. So your lsat shouldn't limit you.

I'm just wondering how important a diversity statement is. Did anyone asian apply this cycle and did you write a DS?

Is it just me or does Santa Clara give out weak scholarships for their ranking and high COL due to where they are located?

Yes, extremely weak scholarships. They offered me $9500 a year while almost every school has offered around 30k per year and they've all been way higher ranked. Anyway, I withdrew my app last week so hopefully this frees up some money for someone that wants to attend. Good luck to all.

Status Checker says "Decision Mailed" and I now have deposit info. Does that mean the decision they mailed is a good one?

In committee since 11/22/2011.. Talk about a long time, I hope it is because they cannot stop reading my personal statement :) (or because I am below medians) .. Has anyone else waited this long?

+1

I've been in review since 11/22. I'm at SCU for undergrad now so I feel like going in and asking them what's up with the wait!

I've been in committee since 11/16 called the school about it on Friday and was told that I'd probably be getting an answer in March.

Maybe thats just their style.
