SCU's IP program sounds pretty good, but out of all of the school descriptions I have read on TLS, SCU is the only one that mentions absolutely nothing about employment. No statistics and/or descriptive words "easy to find" "no problem securing" etc.

Great point. I've been looking for similar data to no avail.

Here are the stats on Santa Clara.

It fares a few percentage points worse than USD in bar passage, but better in job placement after 9 months. Feeling better about it now.

Just curious, how long did it take for y'all to get your status checker e-mailed to you? I applied a week ago and haven't received any e-mails yet (although I did get a small pamphlet in the mail yesterday, probably just a general one they send to a lot of people so the timing could be a coincidence). Just wondering if it takes a while or if I should contact them and make sure everything went through correctly.

Applied 11/1; Notice of receipt of application on 11/5; notice of completion on 11/13; decision mailed on 11/20. I'd give them a day or so more before contacting them.

In! My first acceptance! Large packet in mail.

Applied 11/02, Complete 11/13, DR 11/20

167, 3.6

I was a fine arts major, worried that I'd get a lots of dings, so I'm super pumped about my first acceptance!

Just opened the mailbox and found my USD Law acceptance letter! That's number 2 for me, with no rejections so far (a streak that, I promise, will not last much longer)!!!

Congrats to all!

A few good things:

1. 300 posts baby!

2. I am a married man now =)

3. Accepted into USD 163/3.71

Did anyone get a promise of scholarship or just that they'll let people know in mid-January?

adonai · Post by **adonai** » Tue Nov 24, 2009 2:36 am

I applied earlier than most of you as well but the better people go first

Awesome, I was just making sure, I think USC tells its students that they are admitted and some have a paper that says they are getting an undisclosed scholly that will be revealed later. I was just making sure that USD wasn't doing that, if they were you would of definately got something saying that with your numbers.

Grats to you all!

USC and UCLA, but my priority is out here on the East Coast. We'll see how the cycle turns out - who knows? I sure would love a SoCal winter!

Congrats! When did you go complete and did your status checker change to anything besides "complete?"

Thanks! It is the first I have heard from any schools since I only turned in my apps mid-November. But I am hoping it is the beginning of lots of good news!

Complete - 12/01
Decision Rendered/Decision Letter Sent - 12/09
Packet Recieved - 12/11

Good luck!

I'm sure this is waaaaayy too early, but I live very close to the USD campus in a 1-1 right by the Bay. So keep that in mind when you're looking for a place to live ...

i am definitely considerign San Diego. SOme things of concern:

37k + living expenses = large debt in a bad national economy, and terrible state economy.

If i do manage to make it relatively big as a lawyer i have taxes to deal with in the top barck. 38% federal, 14% state, 9% sales tax. And the state is still in a huge debt? are u kidding me?

Are these concerns to anyone else?
