You might want to consider sending a LOCI. I've read on other threads that sometimes it can help.

Have you wrote a why Iowa or diversity statement yet, if not I'd recommend it!

URM status pretty much explains this one. Most people (such as myself) will just have to continue waiting (im)patiently.

I'm not a URM. I'm Asian, so if anything I'm an ORM.

You might be URM in Iowa, but I am guessing you just had a good overall application. Congrats

Amen. I would say that it is likely there are other University's with a better party scene, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find one in the Big10, or the Midwest.
I can't speak about other universities in different parts of the country, but in comparison to East Coast schools, Iowa Friday nights are insane... INSANE!

Not even close....I actually did a case study of the haloween party week arrests at Madison compared to MSU. Madison has more MIPs, but MSU has more arson, felony theft, crazy naked crimes (sexual misconduct, peeing in public etc...), oh and of course DUIs.

The average IQ of MSU students is probably about 30 points lower too...

I'm not an MSU student, and that hurt, lol. Is MSU really that big a party school?
Ok so I've been in review at Iowa since like December. Is this common?

If I remember correctly, ISIS kept me as In Progress until I received the acceptance email. I never received any indication that my file was complete (other than seeing the "in progress" and assuming that meant that I was, in fact, complete).
With that said, I began receiving a bunch of emails and letters after I was accepted.

Has anybody heard anything about how competitive the atmosphere is at Iowa? The only stuff I know is what I've read on Princeton Review and bits and pieces from TLS Forums. I want to go to school where there is competition but not necessarily a high degree of cutthroat competition.
The general impression I get is that it is competitive, but the competition isn't overbearing. That's pretty much what every profile says on this web site. Any current students want to throw in their two cents?
Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.

I've been in email correspondence with an Iowa Law alum. One of the questions I asked him was specifically about that. Here's what he said:
In my experience, law students tend to be a quite competitive group (to put it mildly), but I found that competiveness in my Iowa classmates to be expressed mostly as healthy and good-natured competition that simply pushed each of us to do our very best. There was quite a bit of camaraderie and most of the competitiveness was in that spirit. We readily shared notes, outlines, horn books, etc.
Actually, my correspondence with this guy in general has really increased my interest in Iowa.

From what I understand, yes. But you may want to contact the RA office for that. (just call the law school main line and ask for the Research Assistant office)

Just received a full tuition scholarship plus RA position offer from Iowa via snail mail.
I take back all of the bashing I have done over the past couple of weeks. This is going to make my decision making process so much more difficult.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
