Ole Miss Applicants c/o 2014 Forum

Does the Ole Miss committee really only meet on fridays?

Yeah, i'm pretty sure that is right.

"Decision rendered- 1/31"

[WVUguy11]

What exactly is "pre- evaluation"?

[txag10]

I went into pre-evaluation. I always thought it meant you were in the next "stack" for review.

Waitlisted via snail mail today. Should I send a LOCI?

[Neidermeyer519]

If you really want to go to school there, then yeah, definitely. It's how they separate those on WL that wanna be there from those who just applied. Surprising you got waitlisted with a 162 LSAT. Low gpa?

Yup. 2.85. My extracurriculars are essentially the only thing helping me.

[Neidermeyer519]

Gotcha. So is UM where you think you'd like to end up?

[txag10]

Its always been a top one of mine for schools outside of Texas.

[jtb00711]

Waitlisted as well. 153/3.68 OOS

[EricBerry]

160, 3.0 OOS. Sent in my application on 12/1 and I was asked to send in an updated transcript that includes the single class I took in the fall. LSAC received the transcript 3 weeks ago and it doesn't look like Ole Miss has received it yet. I'm starting to worry that I won't go into review until its too late in the cycle

[WVUguy11]

Are u guys emailing your loci's?

[Neidermeyer519]

The thing that really turns me off to Ole Miss is that they don't give much in the way of scholarships. My LSAT and gpa are both over their 75% and I was told I probably wouldn't receive any aid.

[WVUguy11]

There are a number of state schools like that. You have to be a URM, or way over the 75%'s to get any significant money.

[Neidermeyer519]

Yeah, that definitely sucks. :/ oh well, I'll play the waiting game and see how much money gets freed up toward the end of the cycle when people withdraw.

[wamaxey]

I went complete on 1/28, so hopefully it'll go under review by the end of the week!

[WVUguy11]

You should find yourself in "pre-evaluation" soon lol.

[Neidermeyer519]

Lol, and seriously, expect a letter in the mail before the status checker changes to "decision rendered".

[wamaxey]

Duly noted.

[txadv11]

Status checker: "Decision rendered 2/2/2011"

Probably a ding

That's all mine said and it was an acceptance. Never know

They don't say online what the decision is. You have to wait for the letter. Mine was a wait list on monday.

[Rooney]

Yeah my decision was rendered same day (I sent app in day after Thanksgiving). Really hoping to get in, the COA does it for me.
158 B- GPA OOS.....kicking myself for not writing Why Ole Miss in my personal statement...

[jaymaynard]

Accepted today via mailing. Anyone have any idea how easy it is to establish residency after 1L?

[Neidermeyer519]

I have a friend who is a 1L there OOS and she said she would have residency after one year. So I think it's actually pretty easy.

[jaymaynard]

Awesome...thanks for the info
