Admitted today! The letter was post-marked October 14th and I'm located in the Midwest.

It was a very nice letter with a personal note added to the end. I can't express how happy I am!!!!!! I never was asked to interview, so I wasn't sure if I'd be in this first batch of acceptance letters.

Is anyone getting admit letters sent to their permanent addresses rather than their current ones? This happened for a lot of the fee waiver/info packets.

My Georgetown and UCLA letters came to my current address. Duke letter went to my permanent address.

Congratulations, fellow admit!

[xylocarp]

thanks everyone made my night after a late, tiring trip back

Yay! Also just got back from a weekend away and my letter was waiting on the table. Submitted 9/17 for RD, interviewed 9/26. Dean Cornblatt has a nice little handwritten note on the bottom referencing my interview and PS. This certainly puts my mind at ease, I know I'll be going to law school next year!

Congrats to all the new admits!

Getting a bunch of PMs about stats and date of letter - so here you go:

- Not a URM (white guy)
- Nontraditional (I'll be 39 and 51 weeks when I start law school -- hey that's not 40)
- LSAT/GPA: In profile!
- Soft that probably made the difference: Retiring Navy E9 (Command Master Chief) with multiple combat deployments that included Kosovo, OEF (in support of operations in Afghanistan), and boots on the ground in Iraq. I'll have a little over 20 years when I retire this April.
- Applied ED (I have the GI Bill/Yellow Ribbon which covers most of GULC tuition)
- Letter was postmarked 15 October - I live in Virginia - so not far for it to travel.

DC is where I want to live and work -- so I am super excited!!!!!

Congratulations brother, thank you for your service. Nobody deserves this more than you do.

Thanks for the congrats - but Im just fortunate enough to have gotten some good breaks - plenty of folks that deserve it as much if not more than I.

I'm looking forward to being just another 1L!

I moved last week, so I guess this afternoon I'm going to take a trek to the old place to check the mail. Here's to hoping

Hey, another McGill person!

ETA but I think you're below both 25th's, so it doesn't make sense to apply until you have a better LSAT.

Hey fellow McGillian!

I thought so .. December here I come...

Does anyone think I stand a chance with a 3.42 LSAC and a 167 + an ED?

I would appreciate some help on this issue

I scored a 166 on the Sep. 2014 LSAT, and I have a 3.2 GPA in engineering from McGill University. I'm an international applicant and I am being (fully) sponsored by an internationally well-known company to pursue my JD. 2-yrs work experience as an engineer. And will start working as a legal assistant/paralegal starting next month.

I have one of two options when it comes to georgetown;

1- Apply ED with my current LSAT (Hoping my engineering degree, international status, my financial sponsorship and an upward GPA trend would somehow offset the low GPA). Advantage here is that I'm applying early.

2- Retake in Dec. and apply ED then. (Problem with this option is 1) no guarantee of higher score, and 2) applying later in the cycle when more seats are taken).

Thanks GULCers.

Based upon what I've read on the boards and heard from admissions officers, here's my take:

1) Georgetown's ED is actually harder to get into than RD (thread somewhere on the boards where they did a nice number crunch, but I can't seem to find it now...)

EDIT: Here's the stats http://admissionsbythenumbers.blogspot. ... op-14.html Georgetown has a correction factor of 0.687, meaning that if your chance for RD is 50%, your chance for ED is only 34%.

2) Ask yourself if your application will be more competitive if you wait. The admissions people I've talked to, although they were very much for getting your app in early, said that the difference in admit criteria from the beginning to the end is far outweighed by every other factor in your application. Therefore, if you can do better on the LSAT in december, do it. If you feel like you'll do about the same, do it, they'll primarily look at the higher score.

but for splitters, the factor is 676!
