I can go to law school!
So I'm at West Point and will add more details later, but today I got an IM saying that my mail came and I was accepted at Duke Law School. Go priority track! I will post more details when I get back and receive them!
A blog about me, my life, and especially my journey from Greek to Law student. This page will detail my journey from researching schools to taking the LSAT to applying to schools.

Early this morning I received an email from Duke saying that they mailed my decision. After reading the letter more carefully, I noticed something odd. The email was sent at 2:23 AM. This means that either their automated mailing system was very slow and they sent it on Thursday (this is my hope), their Director of Admissions was working very late into the evening on Friday (EST is an hour ahead of me), or they sent an automated email before they sent the letter and it came VERY early. I doubt 2 is a realistic option, which leaves 1 or 3. I'm hoping for 1 which would mean one less day to wait, but the point is, if you are going to have an automated system, set it to send emails at realistic times!
After a day spent calling around, I have confirmed that I am complete at all but the following schools:
Funeral is over and I'm back to obsessing about law school application things. Everything is done and all I can do is wait. my hatred of waiting is leading me to consider applying to other schools.
Today I received notification from Duke Law School that my file was complete. This means that I should be hearing from them within 10 business days (thanks to the priority track). Assuming this starts next Monday, they should have their decision by two weeks from today. Add two days to mail it and I should know around the end of the first week of November. Because I took forever this isn't much sooner than when Georgetown sends their first round of acceptances, but such is life. Hopefully I will have some good news within the next few weeks. I will keep you all updated.
When I started this process two years ago I had no idea what a large portion of my life would be spent learning about, preparing for, and applying to law school. Now, as I sit with my applications submitted, I realize just how much time I spent going through this process.
I haven't posted about this yet, but last week I was invited to participate in a conference on ethics at West Point Military Academy at the end of the month. Though I am extremely nervous about being in a world that is NOTHING like the world I am used to, I am also very excited. I will be attending with one other Bradley student and the University will be footing the cost of attendance.
So I don't really "love" any law school, but I wanted to rip of the song lyric for the title of this post.
I sent off my Yale application today which means I have one application left:
I am home for four days. I hope to take advantage of my free time to finish my Stanford and Yale essays. If I don't, I will regret it and my apps may not get sent out till December.
With the majority of my applications out, I am starting to feel like the time intensive part of this process is coming to a close. At this point all that is left for me to do is to finish my Stanford and Yale applications and mail them off. After these applications are complete and mailed it will be a long Fall and Winter of waiting.
Nothing really new in law school world other than I am still cranking out applications.
