George Mason Scalia Law c/o 2020 Forum

Kewl. Wasn't aware that because Sotomayer, RBG, and Kagan attended a dedication that I should go. Where did I claim to know more than anyone? As an LGBT individual, I'm not going to a school named after a man who consistently tried to stop myself and others like me from attaining basic civil rights.

What kind of "basic civil rights" has Scalia denied you "LGBT individual"?

You can Google it.

No you need to google it. You clearly are ignorant to Scalia's opinion. Scalia argues that the states or even the federal legislature should make the law regarding same sex marriage since those are the people who are elected and are accountable to their constituents. We learn in first grade that the Judicial law interprets law not creates it.

The argument on the table was about whether or not the limiting marriage to straight people was discriminatory under the 14th amendment. It had nothing to do with "creating" law, it was about interpreting what rights the 14th amendment protects. Scalia argued that it doesn't protect gay people and their right to marry. Regardless of what you believe, be accurate in the facts.

My status checker is completely blank. Is this normal? My stats are competitive. I applied mid Feb and then submitted a Feb LSAT so it hasn't been too long but all the other schools have acknowledged my applications at a minimum.

It's normal. You will be contacted by email when a decision happens. They took the longest out of my 10 schools

Good to know! I guess I won't take it personally then How long did it take for you to hear back?

Got my acceptance phone call today! Just curious, when did everyone receive their official emails/postal mail acceptances after getting the phone call? And when did you hear about scholarships?

I cannot. I am my best friend's maid of honor and the bridal shower is the day of the open house (horrible timing for me with all the ASDs being when all the wedding festivities are happening).

Aw that sucks but weddings are always fun
Well, I may be choosing GMU due to scholarships and locations. If you end up choosing it, we may run into each other!

I have more schools to hear back from but right now it's probably near the top of my list.

If you're going to one of their open houses they reimburse up to $500.

They actually do more.

[Charlie802]

Has anyone gotten unsolicited scholarship bumps/ do we know if GMU does this?

[soneill2113]

Last minute decision to apply!

How long has the turn around been? Kinda long or not too painful?

[kaptainkeepa]

Slightly disappointed in the school....money isn't convicning enough to attend.

That's exactly how I felt after visiting. Wasn't impressed.
