Re: American U
Per your tar, watch a season of curb! Or, write a new episode based on the inanities of this LS application process. Then, grab a few friends/camcorder and film it. Hilarity could potentially ensue. There, I gave you several great ideas.mhd08 wrote:I totally forgot we're not getting mail on Monday... I am way too impatient for this!

Does anyone know if they send out scholarship info with the acceptance letter or if it's sent after?

I don't think they send out scholly info with the acceptance packet. Just some pamphlets about externship programs and diversity initiatives.jbaritot wrote:Does anyone know if they send out scholarship info with the acceptance letter or if it's sent after?
Also, I applied to the FT program, so I can't speak for the PTers.

Sent after acceptance letter. According to their website, you have to had submitted both FAFSA and NeedsAccess before they consider you for any financial aid/scholarships.jbaritot wrote:Does anyone know if they send out scholarship info with the acceptance letter or if it's sent after?

Oh, and TennisAddict, nice tar. I'm watching the match right now, I dunno if you are a guy or girl but this is one of the best looking matches I have ever seen, and I'm not talking about the play.
Do you play/compete at all?

Decision made- 1/7
Thanks. I wasn't too heartbroken (I did get into George Mason the day before). I am just puzzled on why I was denied.

I'm not sure how many prospective law students can properly answer this question, I would seek out some current American U students.ATOIsp07 wrote:hey guys, random question, what type of job do you guys think top40% at american can get you? mid-sized firm?

Should I be nervous that my status checker went from complete to DM on the 15th, but it never changed to admitted like idreamoflawschool09? Sometimes I think TLS makes me more anxious about all this than I should be.

I was admitted this last week via snail mail and my status checker only changed to DM, not admitted. I wouldn't worry about it.mhd08 wrote:idreamoflawschool09 wrote:1/15 dm still seems to be good news- IN via status checker!!!!:)

Re: American U
Would any of the people denied above the 75% LSAT/GPA mind sharing their stats?
American's YP-ing freaks me out a little.

Re: American U
Just noticed per http://www.wcl.american.edu/admiss/profile.cfm that American had 7649 full time applications last year.
That's rather high, isn't it? WCL is attractive to me given their programs/location etc, but who can explain this high application figure?
