Any news?

I did my masters at IU-B, and worked in a student affairs office there that worked with international students.  IU as a whole has a VERY strong international reputation that you might never know if you didn't know something about the school.  I'm not sure if they still hold this distinction, but I beleive at one point they had more Title VI funded area studies centers than any other public institution (even more obscure centers, like the only Inner Asian and Uralic National Resource Center).  With it's ranking, the University's strong international ties, and strong study abroad programs, I think you'd be a little crazy to pass them up if you want your specialty to be international law.  Besides, the campus is beautiful, and the town is a great place to spend 3 years.

Yes, I am in the area...but I'm very conflicted about leaving my job without being able to give notice.  It just feels icky to me on all counts to do that to my boss, who wrote a recommendation, and my coworkers, 'clients'...and it's not the best way to go into my law school experience either, packing up my office at the same time I'm trying to finish up cases, shop for books, get loans, etc. etc.  Agonizing.

It's not the end of the world to wait a cycle. That's what I did.

So you applied twice Fireplace?  What did you do differently between one application cycle and the next?

Cheer up!  It's still a three day weekend!  Hooray!
