Tier 3 and 4 Acceptances and Rejections

[latinlord]

what made the temple rejection so troubling is the fact that they actually ask if you have any relatives that have attended temple. 

i am an alum.  my father received TWO doctorates from temple.  my cousin is an alum of the med school.  hell, they even give an award out in my father's name.  temple is a tradition in my family.  it is likely that tradition will end with me.  i was not too upset, but my family was. 

Wow that is pretty extreme , especially since they give an award in your fathers name!! Did you tell them about this in your statement??! wow I would call them and at least b*tch them out a bit.Temple is trying more than any other school to get into first tier they are majorly LSAT prone. That SPACE program is a joke! Wow no love from the school/city of brotherly love, no love! boooo

i would write them and tell them how disappointed you are, listing the above.  whether it does any good or not is immaterial, they should be told how you feel

Thank! I hope so; I just don't know what could be taking them so long. I applied in early Nov! Maybe they are considering me for the pt program...? I did check the box that said I would consider either program...

I just found out that I didn't get a scholarship for pepperdine - so I'm hoping the financial aid office will be able to figure out how I can get enough loans to cover the expenses.  I have bad credit, so I can't take out private loans.  If anyone knows anything about the new Grad Loan (not sure of the exact name) - let me know...  I don't know why I always assumed federal loans would cover law school...

I don't know much about the new federal loan, other than I think it's called a PLUS loan. I'm sorry that you didn't get the scholarship but at least you'll be attending an amazing law school in a beautiful part of CA
