The Waiting Game

At this point in my journey, I've been playing the waiting game. And trust me, this is not a game one enjoys playing. Having submitted all of my applications back at the end of Decemeber, I now sit and wait for decisions to be made on my file.

Currently, I have heard back from three schools I applied to. Nova Southeastern in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida; University of Baltimore in Baltimore, Maryland; and Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania have all accepted me as full time day students for the upcoming Fall semester.

I am still waiting on decisions from Widener University, Penn State, and Rutgers. The waiting is probably the most torturous part of this whole experience.

Methodically, twice a day, I check my online status accounts at Widener's website, hoping for a change in status. The only advice I can give to those of you currently in my situation is to be patient. It sucks, but it's the only way to get through it. Keep yourself busy with regular school work or extra activities. I try to keep myself occupied by hitting the gym once a day. The exercise is a great way to get my mind off of wondering which admissions counselor is peering over my file and analyzing my last four years.

Keep positive. I know I am sure trying to. Fingers crossed.

The Beginning

I have started this blog as part of my Senior Seminar Project, so please bare with me if this is a little rough. I am a blog virgin. Considered yourselves warned. I wanted to write about the the sometimes long and tiring process of getting into law school. As a Senior at East Stroudsburg University in East Stroudsburg, PA, I am nearing the end of my journey in the pre-law phase and becoming a full blown law student.

I have gone through a tumultuous 3 and half years in my undergraduate studies. This upcoming May, I will be graduating with a dual degree in Political Science and English. I felt that sharing my experiences would help other law school hopefuls. In the next few weeks, I will be sharing my insight, past experiences, and current law school journey to all of my readers.

Please feel free to post questions about anything I mention here. I would be more than happy to help with answering them or researching answers for you.

I look forward to sharing with you and am excited to hear your feedback.
