I second this. I'm 3/4. I've received two full tuition scholarship offers so far, and I still have six schools to hear from. Really making me rethink just how far up I should reach :lol:

I’m hoping we at some point make a URM “results” thread. Where ppl list their URM status, their GPA/LSAT, say where they got in, how much money the received and any tips they may have.

Seeing everyone getting their acceptances makes me so happy and anxious! I'm here still waiting for my December score :( I applied to 3 schools with my September score and 2 of them put my application on hold because they saw I was waiting for my new score :roll:

If Rake It Up by Yo Gotti and Nicki isn’t on the playlist they should rescind your acceptance.
