Widener waiting List

[sa]

Congrats on getting into Widener.  I went to a top 20 liberal arts college, graduated with a 3.0, scored a 155 on my lsat and was only admitted to Widener through their Tap program which is part time.  In the end I decided not to go to Widener I have heard it is difficult to find a job comming out of the law school.

As I was told by an ivy admissions director, you should just send them a few postcards to let them know your continual interest in their law program.  Also don't annoy but the least you want to do is call them up periodically for a status report.  So then, when it comes time to do so, the admissions director and/or comittee there will keep your name in mind and that has made a difference for close call acceptances (i.e. wait lists).  Hope this helps you out.

SA what other law schools did you apply to? I would think with your numbers, you should of been able to get into some good schools. A friend of mine got a 155 and had a 3.0 gpa from the same school I went to and got into Syracuse. My Undergrad Institution is  anything but top notch.

SA  Did you apply late I was told by one of Widener's admission folks that they got the most applications ever? As long as the economy sucks law school will get tougher to get into.

Good luck Richard O'Connor on your acceptance to Widener (it's a nic solid school) I wish you all the best

I am not going to Widener yet it is just one of many schools I am looking at. The delaware campus is not to far from where I live so housing is not a problem, thats why Widener is a possibility for me. I know Its not a top notch law school.

Richard,
That doesn't matter if you do well in the school itself (top 10% of the graduating class) I wish you all the best either way.
