karita...i bow in awe of your seven wait lists! I think we should have some kind of competition on here for the most.  7 has to be up there.  I am chilling with my four, and to piggy back on what you said, I have found an inner peace with BC as well. Honestly, I am really looking forward to the reported "friendly" atmosphere, and an alumnus told me it was the best 3 years of his life.  Hard to believe, but I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

lol I'm not sure that is something to be proud of, but oh well. 

I am actually concerned about this entire issue at BC.  To me it seems like a lot of those accepted thus far (at least on LSD) are also wait listed at "higher ranked" schools. There is nothing worse than a bunch of people that think they are better than the school they attend (first hand knowledge here). It translates into how they speak in class and how they relate to their peers. Although, given BC's historical ranking, this must have been the case in all the classes before us, and it still has a great reputation as being friendly and non-competitive. I guess we will all see.

I have to say, you are the first person to say/do this on here that I know of and it is nice to have a different perspective. I myself am debating just giving up on the wait list hell and preparing for BC because of the location as well. I have a lot of friends working in Boston and I have family in New England. Deciding sooner rather than later will help a lot for roommates, etc, and frankly, I love Boston as well.

Do you know that you want to stay in Boston after school no matter what? Did you visit GULC? What kind of law are you interested in?

Sorry to pester you, but I am starving for a different opinion.

Thanks for the insight miller and rydogg.

I think we all went through the same thought process in choosing BC over other schools, which gives me a lot of confidence it was the right choice. I totally agree with you miller that we definitely need to keep things in perspective.  A couple missed questions on the lsat could have changed all our situations quite a bit.

With that said, I guess you all are reinforcing the idea that indeed a T14 caliber school is an easy choice. Realistically, I have to agree completely. I suppose I am trying to figure out a way to justify BC because of the hassle of figuring out summer plans and getting into an apartment. At some point I am going to have to put my foot down and commit to staying in Boston. I am thinking I will drag my feet until mid-June when a lot of second deposits become due.  What are all of you thinking?

As for the BC vs. Minn situation, definitely a tough one. First off, I know very little specifically about Minn Law, so this is very general. I do know it is a great school in the top 20 if rankings matter. I guess from my own perspective, I think the choice comes down to where you will be most comfortable studying and then working after school.  Both of these schools are regional to some extent, with over 50% of BC grads staying in New England and 67% of Minn. grads staying in the USNEWS area of Western North Central (ie Minnesota?). From looking at the stats, hardly any of Minn's grads move to the east coast.  This really doesn't say anything about if they could get jobs on the east coast but rather may just indicate a lot of self-selection for a mid-west career.

If you feel like you want to have some options on the east coast, although biased to Boston, I think BC is your best bet.  If however you are comfortable in Minnesota and would like to work in the area after school, take the cheaper tuition and run.

Just checked my other email account and I also received the "short" email. Definitely not a lot of positive language in there. FYI, I am on the preferred wait list, although I know siehead and idontknow are already well versed on this topic.

I see that kwertee has an incredible lsat score...are you up in that range as well bachante?  Perhaps the long version is targeted to the heavy hitters on the lsat side. Just a guess.

Also, I'd be curious to see if the two with the long version sent in supplemental material.  I have yet to send anything to GULC, anyone with the short email send something already?
