Top Law Schools

I'm currently wait listed to the following schools in order of preference:

1. Chapman
2. Denver
3. U of San Fran
4. Southwestern
5. Hofstra
6. Gonzaga

I'm also currently accepted to Whittier, Cal Western, and Western State...I know, not the best of law schools but at least I know where I stand with them. I'm a SoCal native and want to stay in CA as much as possible but don't really want to sacrifice going to a tier 4 school to do so. The dilemma I'm currently facing is to whether or not to pay the seat deposit at one of these schools that I'm accepted to. I would think that out of 6 wait lists I'm bound to get into one of those schools. Also, would it be wise to show up at an admissions office where I'm wait listed and ask to speak with some one? Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Mark

Wait, what happened with the Jets?

Retake and reapply. Going to any of these off the WL will sign you over to indentured servitude, same with the school you deposited at probably as well.

You've also had some healthy post overlap with us yourself, k.

Wow... you read our mind kalvano. I swear to god, here is a rough version of our FB conversation 30 seconds ago:

romo: You know how schools have those stats where they know how many students "overlapped" with acceptances at other schools?
rad: Yeah, what about it?
romo: Well I want to see one of those stats for our TLS posts. I think 80% of my posts are in threads you've posted in and vice-versa.
rad: Haha yeah
romo: We just know how to pick em
rad: We are drawn to the threads with the most potential for snark and lulz

I'm ambiguous.

he's not. And I don't know that Denver is terrible, with scholarship.

Damn. Deceptive tar.

And I don't know that Denver is terrible, with scholarship.

Didn't say $, so I'm assuming none.

So you would say screw giving over the deposit and hope the one of the WL schools take me?

The Jets suck ass!

How do you know? Have we met?

And no, Denver isn't a bad option with some money.

Who the hell are the Jets?

None of those WL schools are worth it without money, which you won't get because you are WL.

So retake and reapply.

I do have $...Post 911 GI Bill and tuition assistance from the military.

So don't waste it.

edit: came a lot more dickish than it was, but seriously, spending the money on a better school (much better school) is an immeasurably better career decision.

I appreciate it and understand where you're coming from. Obviously, going to a better school offers better employment prospects in the future but that's not entirely true. Believe me, I've done my research and am perfectly happy with at least 4 of the 6 I'm waitlisted to. They are very well reputable in their respective regions. Retaking and reapplying is not really an option for me at this point.

I don't even know what to make of this.

1) Kalvano is a girl, and she knows nothing about sports

or

2) Kalvano is the biggest nerd of all time and knows nothing about sports

or

3) He/she/it is just fucking with us, obviously knows who the NY Jets are, and is hoping we will get confused about whether Kalvano is a girl.

Also, he/she/it did have a fuckin wierd/awesome joker/ronald mcdonald 'tar a while back so i'm not sure how that fits in either, but I would lean toward guy.

I have absolutely no idea what the Jets are. I presume a sports team, from the fact that you put NY in front of the name.

Don't even go there. I have a horrible animated GIF of Ernie fisting Bert that just begs to be used here.

It's mind-scarring. Shoot me a PM tomorrow to remind me and I will find a hosting company that will allow it and send it to you.

The Jets were a great R&B group in the '80's. Mark Sanchez was the name of the lead singer, I believe.
