Re: Marquette 2011 Applicants
Even if I get rejected, I'd love to get a response 10 days after I went complete (actually, that'd be today!). The waiting and thinking about my options is killing me.Iceman389 wrote:FWIW I got an e-mail saying I was accepted 10 days after I received the e-mail that I went complete
It seems like 158+ is the magic number, so I'm hoping they can look past my 156, and are swayed to accept me based on my LORs, WE, and other softs.

Re: Marquette 2011 Applicants
I think the magic number is more 157. If you have a GPA above their median or at, I think your shot is pretty good. I mean I applied with a 155, so I'm hoping thats good enough...EstboundNDwn wrote:Even if I get rejected, I'd love to get a response 10 days after I went complete (actually, that'd be today!).

Re: Marquette 2011 Applicants
Ha, you know I always forget the GPA even plays a factor. I think over the whole process I've gotten LSAT-centric. I would feel more confident had I applied much earlier in the cycle. My LSAT and GPA are just below both the medians, but I have some unique post-UG experience.8675309 wrote:

I really want Marquette, and after I visited the school I'm starting to doubt whether I should attend law school in the fall, or if I should just take (another) year off in order to apply in October.

I hope 157 is the magic number. Then I could stop worrying.I would feel more confident had I applied much earlier in the cycle. My LSAT and GPA are just below both the medians, but I have some unique post-UG experience.
And I know how you feel EstboundNDwn. I would feel so much more confident if I had applied early.
http://www.uiowa.edu/~030116/prelaw/lawschools09.htm I don't know if you guys have seen that, or if I am understanding what it means correctly, but it seems like they value LSAT a lot more then GPA.

Re: Marquette 2011 Applicants
It's been my understanding that it's about a 70% LSAT/30% GPA split. No one has this set in stone, but nearly everything I've read or heard from prep courses has implied that this is probably the most realistic breakdown.coolgreen44 wrote:8675309 wrote: http://www.uiowa.edu/~030116/prelaw/lawschools09.htm I don't know if you guys have seen that, or if I am understanding what it means correctly, but it seems like they value LSAT a lot more then GPA.

Re: Marquette 2011 Applicants
What you said. I've taken my numbers and plugged it into the formula to compare with other admitted applicants and I fall in the range of the lower numbers that were admitted, so I'm optimistic. In other news, I recieved the complete and in review e-mail. Duh duh duhhhh.EstboundNDwn wrote:It's been my understanding that it's about a 70% LSAT/30% GPA split.

Re: Marquette 2011 Applicants
There's an admission index formula for schools on the LSAC website. If you log into your LSAC account and go to Apply > Credentials > Transcripts, theres a link on that page. They don't tell you what the numbers mean, but I went to Law School Numbers and plugged some admitted apps in to see where I was in the mix.EstboundNDwn wrote:What formula?8675309 wrote:What you said.

Email asking to confirm wanting to remain on the waitlist. Responded the second I got it! From my experience on the wait list last cycle..this is the first of many of these emails. Hoping it turns out differently this year.

I've been reading a lot of your older posts. I hope you get some positive news this cycle. I was in a similar situation as you are when I was trying to decide whether I should apply to some schools under the part-time program.Scottie88 wrote:Email asking to confirm wanting to remain on the waitlist.

Re: Marquette 2011 Applicants
Thanks..Yea it has been really hard, applied last cycle and did not get in to the schools I wanted to attend, so I re-took the LSAT and re-applied to them part time..which works out better for me now as I am working full time. I hope you get in to marquette! It is such a great school.EstboundNDwn wrote:I've been reading a lot of your older posts. I hope you get some positive news this cycle.

By the way, did you receive your decision by e-mail or letter?
I think it's interesting that it varies.

Ha, I know the feeling. I sent my first application out in October and I'm pretty sure I've gone through all the stages of grief at this point. After a while you just have to tell yourself savor it.8675309 wrote:The wait is KILLING me. I just need a yes or no, that's it!
