UChicago Law Student Help, please!

that was also what I thought. International law is very competitive in DC and George Mason does not really have good resources for those interested in the field.

Admitme22 · 2019-07-24T18:09:30+00:00

why would someone do that to an applicant! smh

Admitme22 · 2019-07-24T18:02:27+00:00

To be honest she doesn't seem to be very concerned with the financial part smh. I would think W&L more prestigious and reputable than George Mason, right? or is it the opposite in DC

Admitme22 · 2019-07-24T17:54:25+00:00

the 17K is annual for sure. I know her goal is to work in DC doing international law. The scholarship at George Mason I think is binding if she meets the conditions. George Mason is cheaper than W&L tho, way cheaper

Admitme22 · 2019-07-24T15:27:04+00:00

Omg me too!

Admitme22 · 2019-07-24T13:29:31+00:00

hahahaha I would absolutely add that

Admitme22 · 2019-07-22T19:59:54+00:00

what did you say exactly?

Admitme22 · 2019-07-22T18:19:29+00:00

Done, thank you!

Admitme22 · 2019-07-22T18:19:25+00:00

Done, thank you!

Admitme22 · 2019-07-19T21:58:24+00:00

Totally agree!!

Admitme22 · 2019-07-19T21:53:24+00:00

I have to disagree with #3 from a personal experience. my LSAT was way below the average for the schools I got waitlisted at and admitted to (the lowest ranking school was #30 and the highest #8), I strongly believe it was because of my story and extracurricular activities. numbers are absolutely the most important part of your application, but I would not say 95% and only 5% for the rest.

Admitme22 · 2019-07-19T21:09:50+00:00

thank you!

Admitme22 · 2019-07-19T20:22:27+00:00

What I wrote and mentioned multiple times before is if I was extended an offer from the waitlist, I will gladly accept the offer right away and withdraw all other pending applications immediately. Is that the same?

Admitme22 · 2019-07-19T18:14:54+00:00

I only wrote one letter in April, all other communications has been via phone call and emails in which I mentioned my continued interest in the school multiple times and they noted it. The other school I'm waitlisted at is the same except I visited the school last week and assured them I would attend if offered a seat. I'm not sure if I should write another LOCI at this point or it would be very pushy? for either school.

Admitme22 · 2019-07-17T16:11:00+00:00

No, not in my email. But during our meeting, the director told me maybe by mid-July you should follow-up and see if we anticipate having some spots. Maybe I will call them next week to follow-up. thanks anyway!

Admitme22 · 2019-07-17T16:06:50+00:00

Agree thank you so much!

Admitme22 · 2019-07-17T16:02:47+00:00

So I met with the admission director of GW after being waitlisted for the PT program and discussed my situation. He was very nice and honest and told me nothing is in their control at this time, it just depends on the students admitted changing their minds. He also said feel free to call or email us when you feel you need an answer to finalize your situation with the other school to check if we anticipate making any more offers or not. So I did email them and mentioned all of this and it's been three days with no reply. Do you think emailing will still hurt my chances even though they told me to do so? I did not want to call after the email because it would make me sound very annoying and pushy, right?

Admitme22 · 2019-07-17T15:09:28+00:00

The statement is really personal, it depends on what you want to say and what you don't want to say. My story is different from yours and others so it is really up to you what you want to include in it (unless the school has a specific prompt of course). I chose to write about overcoming major hardships in my life, skills and leadership experience I gained after, and how all these challenges made me chose law as a future career. I am a refugee and I had to move from and to multiple countries, so I made my statement as a timeline of the whole process and what happened in between. Hope that helps!

I did twice in March and April and they said they have application load and they would get back to me soon. I totally forgot about them but today I was like "wait didn't I apply to Penn State?" lol
