  1. Any word from UW-Madison? I noticed that the website has a section "Countdown! To Fall 2014", which is filled with a ton of information for accepted students. I took that as a sign that decisions would start being released soon.
  2. If you do contact UCSB, please post if they provide any insight into when decisions may be received. I am patiently waiting...Thanks!
  3. Just a quick clarification - I may be dating myself a bit, but when I started law school at Penn State the law school was located in Carlisle not at University Park (State College). The environment in Carlisle is vastly different than State College.
  4. My goal is to apply for Fall 2014. I have been studying for the GRE off and on, but I cannot keep my focus when it comes to the math. I have not used those math concepts in ages. I completed my undergrad in 2002 and law school in 2008. I will hopefully be ready to take it in September/October. I have narrowed down my schools, but I do not have a final list. My new focus is to work on my SOP, which will hopefully motivate me to study for the math. I am excited to see what the next few months bring. Also, I am ridiculously curious with how the schools that I do apply to will respond to my law degree. I don't know if it will help my application or if it will be of no consequence. Best of Luck!
  5. Thank you for the helpful information. I am just beginning my search. I am sure that you and I are very different in our thinking. I don't know your experience, but I choose a school for much more than rankings. I will apply to schools that all around meet my needs and I could stand to be at for the length of time I will be there. I spent my law school years in an area I absolutely hated. I will never do that again. I understand that it is a broad range of schools and you will probably be surprised at the other schools I end up applying to. My interest is sex and gender. University of Wisconsin - Madison - This is my alma mater. I still consider this my home. This is a dream - I would love to go there. My friends and family are there. I understand it is big and selective. I went there. I got my B.A. in Sociology there. I am familiar with the program, the professors, and the prestige. I have family that currently goes there. UMass - Amherst - I want access to all of the professors teaching at the schools they are affiliated with - essentially the consortium. It is also a place I would not mind living for that period of time. UC-Santa Barbara - This is great for my program. I also am friends with a current full Professor there, who I have spoken with several times. She suggested that program to me. I believe her. I am also heavily involved in non-profit work and they look for that. In their application process, I can address my non-profit dream. It is a plus all the way around - not to mention the beautiful campus. UCONN - I know it is a smaller program, but I like the school. I like the location and I like how glbt friendly they are. Brandeis - It is a small program that has my focus and access to the Boston consortium. I have always gone to large universities, so this may be a pleasant change. I understand that you are trying to be helpful and I might check those out. I have been through this process in narrowing down and applying to law schools. In that process, I learned a lot about what I need and want. I hope to avoid mistakes that I made in that process. My way of looking at schools is, my guess, very different from yours. I may add University of Washington and Brown too. Oh and any school where Audrey Sprenger is at -- I took several of her classes at Madison. She is amazing.
  6. I am narrowing my choices -- I have been trying to decide for years. I am hoping to find time to study for my GREs. I did my undergraduate work at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I completed my J.D. at Penn State University. I have been out of law school five years this May, so I am in the midst of practicing. So far.... University of Wisconsin-Madison UMass-Amherst UCONN Brandeis UC-Santa Barbara Still looking...
