[aartelt]

Would an email have come by now, if we were accepted?

Yea, seriously though, the suspense is killer... this is my number 1.

[nicknml]

Ya...the fact that no one has come here to celebrate gives me hope but all in all I feel like a rejection is on the way...

[tadams86]

Wait-Listed today via snail mail. DR 3/25

You already received a letter? Where are you located?

[moe]

waitlisted via snail mail also... whomp whomp whomp!

DR 3/24

[angela]

my decision was rendered on the 24th and I did not receive an email, but rather a letter by mail (i live in sf). i got wait listed and i am pretty sure that if you receive an acceptance at this point in the game, the school emails you and sends a letter as schools have been recently doing this, including usf. best of luck to u all!

Got accepted here a week ago (3.2/161). Applied kinda as a safety for Cali and I don't know much about it. Can anyone give me the lowdown on the school's reputation?

Is anyone participating in the Summer Bridge Program/Academic Support Program? Just wondering if anyone has any information on this since their website and information packet didn't really explain much besides that a $3,500 - $8,500 grant will be provided. Any idea about the hours or involvment that's required?

I got a WL in February and it also had a star sticker. Not sure what it means though.

I got a red star stamped on mine? It's not a sticker, but. And mine says "impressed w/" too; I think they are just letting us down easy.

WL for FT division via regular mail 3/27...

Does it matter when you respond if you're willing to accept PT division or not? Will they automatically skip over your review for FT?

I just spoke to the Co-Director of ASP this morning and the experience was awesome. She was very nice and welcoming as she explained the advantages of the program.

Some brief information:
-The Summer Bridge Program goes from 9am to 3pm 5 days a week for 3 weeks in July
-Half the day is dedicated to mini courses which are held exactly like real classes. The other half is law school preparation stuff such as note taking, outlining, How to Study for Exams, etc.
-A grant is provided at the conclusion of the program and an opportunity to apply for add'l grants are offered during the program
-Typically 30-40 students are invited by the Director to participate in ASP
-ASP continues throughout the year with tutorial hours with an assigned 2L and course specific prep sessions are held weekly
-Students are allowed to dedicate as much or as little time as they want

I got a very positive vibe from meeting with the Director and a 1L currently in the ASP. The 1L said the course prep sessions were extremely helpful since it will give you a heads up on what to expect on the exams and how to study for them. She also said it made forming study groups and networks so much easier. What I found really appealing was how they both promoted the program as a "family" sort of environment where they watch out for each other. After learning more about ASP it certainly has made me feel a lot more comfortable as an incoming 1L knowing I will be offered this sort of support.
