i could keep up with a 28 year old.  easy.

The fact that you felt the need to say this suggests otherwise.   ;)

no.  it suggests that i'm insulted by the fact that poetgirl thinks she's so mature and worldly that anyone younger than her isn't worth her time.

A) "Younger" is ok... 22 is not. I am mature and worldly-- and I'm in a different place in my life. I don't take shots at the bar anymore; I sip wine at home with friends. I'm SURE there are those 'young-uns' who do the same, but that's not the norm. Additionally, I'm no longer physically ATTRACTED to the baby-faced early 20s guys. 
B) Contrary to speculation... I am hot :-)

Funny you should mention my kitty... I've just started thinking about giving her up. She's almost 2 now and instead of getting sweeter, she's getting more violent-- lots of biting. I swear she's part bobcat.

Too old to date a 22 year old who has never worked a day in his life (except as a waiter)...

A couple points:

1) I'll be 28 before class starts-- Man, this board moves FAST!
2) How did my topic get hijacked like this? Where did this discussion of clothing and preppiness come from?
3) I gave up reading this thread on page 5... you people bore me... preppy or not... this conversation has 'Degrassi' written all over it.

I just went to an ASW. Everyone there was 22. While I'm not going to law school to meet men, I had hoped that I'd at least bump into 1 schmuck every now and again to take me out for coffee!!! Now I'm faced with the possibility of no dating for 3 years. I'm seriously bummed about this...

Anyone else share my concern?

Law School Applications / Re: Multiple Seat Deposits?
« on: March 18, 2008, 08:10:56 PM »
Right... School A's DDL is 4/1. I've already checked them out, and they look good... but not completely sold yet. School B's DDL is 4/15. I was trying to get School A to cut me some slack so I could check out School B 1st, but no cigar. Guess I'll have to break the cardinal rule and put deposits down at both (potentially).

Am I the only paranoid person on here that fears her PS or LOCI will be stolen and sent in FIRST to the same school? I'm sure THESE volunteers are completely honest and legit, but I'd be hesitant to PM your 'unique' plea to anyone else... I'm just sayin'...

Schools do not like this.  I talked to a BC ad-com about this, and he said that it makes him really mad when students do that.  Applicants have sufficient time to decide on what school they wish to attend before deposits are due, and if this is not the case, an applicant can ask for an extension.

Asking for extensions is also an option.  I forgot about that one.  Plus it saves you money!

I asked for an extension to one school b/c the ASW for its competition is after their seat deposit deadline. I got a 'no'. I CLEARLY cannot choose school A without seeing school B.

Acceptances / Re: Houston - how long "in review?"

I applied to UH in late November, and did not change to "in review" until 1/28/08.  The following week when UH updated their site, 2/4/08, I was changed to "decision mailed."  I received an acceptance the same day they updated my status on their website.  UH requires a seat deposit by 4/1/08.  I hope this answers a few of your questions.

I too am a TX resident.

UH probably requires a seat deposit by 4/1 for their ED people. They quoted me "late April to mid- May" for RD, in which case, they'd have to have a new deadline for our seat deposits. I applied in December. Held at "report received" until mid Feb. Have been holding at "in review" ever since.

I also don't think that a deception as you've prescribed in your last paragraph is ethical, no offense.
