Law School Discussion

You're only considered an URM if you are 1) Native American 2)African American 3)Asian or 4)Hispanic. 

I know what you mean about the cost of going there and I really don't have the money either.  But the way I look it is that I've already spent all this money on applications and if it will really help me get into my #1 choice school then what's another $500? 

And thanks for the offer Kristi!!  You're too kind.  I thought if I do make this trip I can at least take advantage of visiting some apartments, too - just in case.    I spoke to my friend today and she said she could probably convince her roommate to let me stay with them for a couple of nights so at least I'll save on hotel.  I'm going to start looking at some airfare and give SW a call and ask if it will help.

It does sound a little promising to hear the waitlist IS moving.  Why can't it move my way??     OK, Carolina, I'll try and not let it take the best of me.  It's just so hard not knowing where I'll be next month.  I'm just SUCH a planner.  Best of luck!

Well if that's the case then I had better kiss my chances goodbye.  I got a 152.    I wonder if I sending in an addendum for my score might help - I don't want it to sound whiny though. 

Have planned your move yet?  It's a hard move and I have been back and forth on whether to take my furniture with me.  Of course, this is if I get in.  I haven't decided if it will be economical to pay to move all of my things or buy them there. 

I hope you're right and I do get an offer soon!!  How are your classmates being notified - phone, mail or email??

I would love to see your data.  I'm moving all the way across the country - I live in Atlanta - so it's difficult for me to search for apartments without knowing the area.  I have yet to be admitted off the waitlist at Southwestern, but I'm being hopeful and it can't hurt to look for a place while I'm waiting to hear from them.  I looked at Park La Brea and it's GAW-GEOUS!!  But they would have to give me 6 months free before I can afford it.  HAHAHA  It does look perfect though. 

Thanks for asking.. my trip was wonderfully memorable!  

How do you feel with Friday being your last day at work?  I think you're making a wise decision to take it easy this semester and then decide whether you want to work during the spring semester.  Will you be able to go back to the job you have right now?  I'm still too chicken to say anything at work.  Only 2 of my coworkers know right now, but I'll have to give them my 2 weeks in a couple of weeks.  *gulp*  I just wish I could tell them where I was going!!

That is a great idea about writing them the letter.  I'm actually contemplating scheduling a visit.  Do you think it could make a difference??  The reason I ask is because I have been debating whether to make a 1 or 2 day trip in a couple of weeks.  I'll be flying in from Atlanta (like I have an extra $300 for a ticket) and have to ask for more days off work (without telling them why) But if I know it will make a difference I will do it in a heartbeat.

And thanks for pulling for me.  I just wish they would let me know already!!!  I just want to know how to plan!!  If I'm moving to LA it won't be worth bringing my furniture so I'll have to sell it and I'll need time to do that.  Oh goodness, what a long month it will be!!
