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.

How did you find out from the status checker? Mine just says "decision made" 1/15/10...

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.

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.

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?

TennisAddict · Post by **TennisAddict** » Sun Jan 17, 2010 10:58 pm

I'm a girl and I am watching it right now

Looooove tennis, I was waiting for Australian Open, it's gonna be cool this year

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.

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.

My status checker never changed- in my excitement I mistyped! No
worries, sure you are fine!

Would any of the people denied above the 75% LSAT/GPA mind sharing their stats?

American's YP-ing freaks me out a little.

fonzerelli · Post by **fonzerelli** » Mon Jan 18, 2010 4:10 pm

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?
