It's been a while...

Hello again. It's been a while since I posted last. Unfortunately, there hasn't been much good news since last time. I've been rejected at UCLA, Duke, Case (which was a yield protect, so I'm not too hurt), and Berkeley. The Berkeley one really hurt, but I guess I will just get to move on to other things.

With this picture getting clearer, it is looking more and more like I can narrow my choices down to about 6 schools (5 if I don't get into William and Mary). I am going to go look at George Washington University next weekend, so I'm really hoping for a great time. Over spring break, I may be taking a road trip to look at University of Illinois, University of Iowa, Ohio State University, and University of Wisconsin. Hopefully those visits will help me make a decision. Hopefully I get some money from those schools, too! Haha. I'm hoping that the full scholarship from Baylor and the 3/4 scholarship from U of San Diego will be good bargaining chips.

More Updates

After the huge wave of decisions right before Christmas, there was a break in the action. Included in that break was a trip to Texas to visit my brother. While I was down there, I paid a visit to Baylor. It was a beautiful campus, and the law building was awesome. Seeing the mock courtrooms, the library, the classrooms, everything. It was just a great experience. The admissions office was very friendly, and there was even a professor that stopped and talked to me for a few minutes. It was a great place. I would highly recommend it to anybody. Except myself. It just didn't seem right. This is the reason why it is so important to visit schools. To get that feeling of knowing this is where you should be.

I've received a couple more decisions. There were some bad, some good, some middle. I was accepted at University of Colorado and George Washington University recently (I will write a separate blog post soon about GWU. It's a good looking school). I was waitlisted at Vanderbilt (which was a big bummer. That was one I would have loved to go to). Finally, I was rejected at NYU and University of Michigan.

I'm going to be making a few more visits over my long President's Day weekend. Hopefully I will have some more decisions before that, but this is it for now.
