In review 11/18; complete 9/22.

Another "strong consider" on my list (most are). Nervous this will be a ding, though, because of my PS (in retrospect, I think I sound pompous). Sigh.

[tea_drinker]

It is 8.2, but on a 10.0 scale.

I'm not capable of doing the complex math necessary to convert that to a traditional grading scale, so I'll just act sort of impressed to hedge my bets.

A 3.28?

You, sir, have solved my math puzzle!

Good luck. Dean Pless updated us in his thread too if you want to check that out.

Its simply 82% of the highest possible GPA...so if your school had a 4.33 system I would have been off by .27 points and you'd have a 3.55 I do believe.

Is NW or NYU your #1 choice?

My schools are out of 4.0... I think a lot of UGs are

Yeah, I don't think it is that hard to solve, but I am a hard science major surfing a law school forum. Need to be respectful

Oh, yes, mine is too...I do believe there are some though. I mean Pepperdine might be?

Haha...I am not a hard sceince/math person...just logic/discrete logic...which I guess you need simple math for...discrete predicate logic is angering me as we speak.

Is NW or NYU your #1 choice?

I would love either, but both are long shots. NYU has the rankings advantage and the fact that I have a strong support system there. However, I want to practice in Chicago, and I really admire Dean Van Zandt and what he's done at NW (that I expect will carry on for at least a couple years after his departure).

If by some miracle I get into both, I'll really try to figure out which beats the other. Realistically, though, I'm hoping for Illinois and/or Notre Dame as they would position me well for employment at my old firm's Chicago office.

Good luck either way. I hope you get into both

Got my rejection email today, not too surprised, it was worth the zero dollar long shot, 3.35 164 ED just not good enough.

[Xnegd]

In review as of today!

[Spinozist21]

Congratulations to those who got accepted. It must feel great.

My condolences to those who were rejected...it really does suck and it is something I will likely feel soon enough. Keep your head up though!

[Dr. Strangelove]

I applied to Illinois! It's one of my top choices.
The admissions office is holding my application till it receives my December 2010 LSAT so it'll be a while before I find out whether I've been accepted or not.

[ihp12]

Would those who got accepted mind sharing their numbers?

If not publicly, I would love a PM.
