Assuming you will totally break your lease and head over to Tuscaloosa if you get that call.

Recently accepted with money.

Any current law students lurking? Really looking to get into the AL scene post law school graduation. AL is probably my top choice QOL-wise.

How many 1Ls this fall? (The number above and the website only say the number admitted and LSAT/GPA, curiously everything but the number enrolled).

I wasn't able to find that either. We'll find out soon since they have to release all of their numbers.

Received my acceptance packet last night. Good information about the law school and Tuscaloosa in there. Alabama admissions does a really good job.

Got the call last Friday from Martha Griffith, who could not have been nicer. Received the admissions package in the mail today. Have a tour set up for next Thursday. I'll let y'all know how it goes.

Awesome! Let us know how it goes.

Can not wait. Great School

Checking in! I submitted my app last night. It would be nice if Winston's 2 week turnaround is the norm. I'll let y'all know in a couple weeks I have the same luck

Glad to hear they're efficient at 'Bama. Congratulations to hillz, Winston, and any others already accepted! Good luck to the rest of the applicants!

I got a decision 11 days after my application went complete.

Not sure what the pic is in the OP, but not the law school building.

I'm a 1L feel free to ask questions and I'll answer as much as I'm able.

We have around 140... a few have dropped since the beginning of the semester, but still right around there.

ETA: Congrats to everyone admitted so far! I've loved my experience so far.

Yeah, it's not the law building. It's Clark Hall. And it's the only pretty pic I could find on Google images. If you wanna take one of the law school, give me the link!

Bonus points if you can get Saban in there as well.

Yea I spend no time on the undergrad part of campus. I wish the law school looked like the quad though!

Thanks to zippernicus for finding our new OP pic!
