[Rekindle11]

My numbers were 157 LSAT but only 2.33 LDAS GPA

I have a Graduate GPA of 3.85 and a ton of time between my undergraduate poor grades and my sucessful graduate school grades. (12+ years of work experience including 7 years of military service and disabled veteran status)

wow im so sorry to hear this i wish you the best of luck and your country is proud of your service...even if UF doesn't seem to appreciate it. Hang in there we're all with you.

ok so it seems this is what we're dealing with so far:

2/28 - all denied
3/1 - ive only seen this once on the thread..in transit?
3/3 - in transit

based on my estimations, either everyone this week will be denied...or 1/3 and 3/3 will be waitlisted + accepted. Last year everyone who received a letter late in the week got accepted (still, they had LSAT scores in the 160s and that doesn't seem to be pattern with most this week...which greatly increases the likelihood of rejections for all this week). If your status change falls within any of these three dates please post your numbers followed by the date to see what we get or PM them to me and I will repost when I have a complete analysis.

i can't really speak for your situation but I know for a fact that last year batches were sent the first week of March following that pattern...Friday was included, so you have to wait until tomorrow to know where you stand.

[drummerboy]

fascinating thanks.

And even then...I really don't think the pattern will be the same as last year's because there was none of this Thursday nonsense. I just wish they'd post their decision online like how they did for UG. It would make all of this much more tolerable.

Baaaaahh! What's up with that?! My other decisions came in so quick! I didn't think we'd be waiting so long.

Hey sorry to derail the thread from talking about acceptances (maybe I should make a UF c/o '14 thread?), but for people living in apartments, are you going solo or are ya'll trying to find roommates? And if you are trying to find roommates, how are you doing so?

Also, I have been looking at some of the small "cottage" houses (like 1/1 or 2/1, 2/2 at the biggest) that are across the street from the law school. Are these party houses, or are they generally quiet? And how much of a shit storm are these on game days? Thanks for the help in advance!

I'm really nervous now... I got the same EXACT LSAT score (x, 3.83 GPA) so now I'm really nervous. I feel like x would be the minimum and any increase would greatly increase my chances, but I feel not increasing at all won't look too good. I've been the same "no decision reached" since 2/10/11. Hearing people with numbers like BigBen got denied and others in this thread, I fear I probably won't get in I just don't understand why some people got straight rejected instead of a WL...

[drummerboy]

i dont know time will tell. maybe is just more random than we think and patterns arent consistent

Valentina and Rekindle, I posted only a few pages back the first reply about 3/1 (Tuesday) letters.

My letter was sent 3/1 and I have a 163/3.8.

Edit: Did anyone else have "Orientation Fee" come up? I can't tell if I'm imagining that's new or it actually is.

[cojsterling]

I've got a 3.1/168 and my letter was sent on 3/1 fyi

Well, looks like we now know the 3/1 batch is acceptances. So, I guess it is inevitable the 3/3 batch will not be admits, but reject/WL.

I had my status change on Monday and I got the letter yesterday and it was a rejection. I know people that go to UF with me who had there status change on Tuesday and they got the letter today and were rejected. I also know people who had there status change today but there numbers were awful, one was a 152 3.4 and other was a 154 2.9, they are waiting for there letters still but I am pretty sure that anybody who gets a letter this week is going to get rejected.

Best of luck to everybody

Hmmm if that 163 and 168 from the Tuesday group are acceptances...and there are some rejections reported from Tuesday...then the batch is mixed? Maybe every time they send ltrs it's mixed...haha...it really sux that they aren't following last year's pattern...it seems they aren't following any pattern!

Orientation Fee is not new, but you should be in.

On a general given day, the houses/area around the law school are pretty quiet. The noisy housing is all around midtown, and the houses by the law school are about a mile away from all of that. However, on gameday, the entire city of Gainesville turns into an Orange and Blue drunken shitshow, including the law school house area, which you need to embrace because there is no wilder area/better fans in the nation than at UF on gameday.

Deuce, do they show the UF games on TV (Ive never really watched college football so is it blacked out like NFL sometimes)? I will never, EVER walk back into that stadium (I think I told you my UF vs. LSU horror story) but think I could handle watching football with some ribs in the smoker and a kegorator, and watching it from the comfort of my HOME. haha

Man, as a Nole, this would be quite annoying. Except in November when I would get to watch a repeat of last year!
