A Little Too Late?

Some say that once a law school application deadline has passed, you're just plain out of luck. To them I say, it's never a little too late to submit an application.

Just yesterday, I applied to Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. The school's application deadline was March 13th; however, after doing a little extra research, I was compelled to apply anyway. I felt strongly about the school's program and the fact that it is located in the heart of DC. Having spent the past two summers interning in the capitol, I wanted to return and study there.

I called the admissions office and inquired about whether or not there was any way I could still apply. To my relief, I was informed that the school was still accepting late applications, but that my application would be marked late and considered last. I took the chance and filed out the online application yesterday. I also added an addendum explaining my father's recent job loss and how that affected me with proceeding to apply to the school.

Hopefully, I will hear soon. I have to make the bulk of my decisions before April 1st. Ahhh, the stress of it all is becoming quite unnerving!
