What's Rollin' at Michigan State? Forum

[Baylan]

Sooo, today I went to the lib, (3rd floor west side!!!) and there was these guys preparing their law school apps. This one guys turns to the other and is like "dude I'm totally gonna get into UofM with my 158." other guy:"yeah dude so jealus, I'm probably gonna end up at illinois or something with my 149." - I LOLed.

This makes me love TLS sooo much more!!!! I'm totally up for a TLS bar crawl, perhaps the beg. of january when we're all freezing our asses off and spending all our money buying lame ass course packs at budget printing that doesn't accept CC's. Sorry done with MSU rant.

PS- for those interested in MSU's PT program, they do allow you to switch to FT after one semester, a good friend of mine has done so with very little ease and she's def. not in the top half of her class.

You should've seen me explaining why I won't be getting into Michigan, or UChicago to my parents... probably 4-5 times this semester with my 164. "Why don't you apply?" "Because its a waste of money, Mom."

Michigan State Law just sent a very nice christmas card with a handwritten note. Total class.

I just got that card today too. Kinda awkward considering that I already withdrew, but still very nice of them.

I get you on explaining to the rents, it sucks. My parents always ask, won't your disability get you into Harvard? No mom it won't..... well why not? Because I'm not considered a URM mom....what's that...Jesus christ.....

Maybe they were kidding... hopefully...

You're bringin' on the heartbreak! Bringin' on the heartache!

Can't you see?
Oh!

A little DEF LEPPARD for you... it just felt appropriate.

I just checked my status checker. It says "re-review in feb". Obviously this is not as good as accepted, but does anyone have insight as to what it might mean (other than the obvious). If it matters i have a 156 and a 3.35.

Thanks

It's like being waitlisted. By Feb they'll have a better idea of what their applicant pool looks like (i.e. where the medians will fall). Then they go back and decide if they need your numbers. They might decide to accept you, ding you or re-review you in March.

TIP: If you want MSU, call them and ask them what you can do to strengthen your app. Let them know you want them and they're more likely to want you...like dating.

anyone get a packet yet from michigan state?

[sckon]

Got it like a week and a half ago.

Got it like a week and a half ago.

wtf, when were you admitted?

I was admitted on the 9th, and have received nothing

[sckon]

I was admitted with the first batch.....so the 9th or earlier sounds about right. Give them a call.

[sarlis]

any one else who got accepted on the 9th or before yet to receive their packages?

When did you apply? I'm really nervous now, I have a 3.23 and a 156 and thought I was a shoe-in at State.

I applied the week of Thanksgiving. I was a little supprised by this as well. I have a grad degree as well. You'll prob get in though so i wouldnt sweat it. I'm still hoping i will get in, but we will see.

I was deferred as well, surprised the hell out of me, too. I'm a 156/3.54 URM.

They called me today and told me if I applied they'd give me a full or close to full scholly. Should I?

I got the same thing with similar numbers as yours, a bit higher LSAT but lower GPA. I too was pretty surprised. As for the person who said to call them, what could they possibly want? An application with GPA and LSAT, a person statement, resume, LORs, and addendum isn't enough? Maybe I will send them a Christmas card ;]

I'm stealing your Christmas card idea. Period.
