Fair enough. Thank you.

Congratulations everyone! May this wealthy of celebrations spread to all of us like milk and honey.

Just a quick question: do committee members take into consideration an applicant's matriculation of her/his law degree and passing of the bar examination? Would members also take into consideration the amount of times an applicant took to pass the bar examination? Also, do members, if at all, take into account the particular jurisdiction for which the applicant passed the bar examination for? For instance, some states' bar examinations are considered more difficult and tenuous, and therefore, the passage rate is lower. Do these factors matter at all for purposes of evaluating an applicant's prospective chances of succeeding as a graduate student in the field of political? Or are they marginally looked at when evaluating an applicant's credentials? Thank you!!

delete-it: I sincerely wish you admission to one of them (or all three). I am really sorry about your wife's health. But your credentials look fantastic. Nonetheless, all the best.

This entire process of waiting and checking my e-mail is taking me back to early months of 2010, when I applied to law school. I received a few acceptances, was wait-listed at a few institutions and received my fair share of rejections too. Ultimately, the school I ended up attending and graduating from did not make me an offer of admission until mid-June. That was the school I really wanted to attend, given that my sister had already completed two of her three years there. Ultimately, I hope that this will not necessarily repeat itself; meaning the long wait, but the acceptance occurring. I am not sure how much relevance this may bear, and I hope that each and everyone ends up at the right institution, meaning the one we really want to, but also the one that really wants us. I guess we all did the best we could have done and therefore, there is no need nor a point in second guessing ourselves. We will either get accepted or rejected. I dislike the thought of rejection, but like I stated, I experienced my fair share of them, and will probably live through a few more. I just want to encourage each and everyone of you to not lose sight of what is really important. No matter what happens, and sincerely mean it, be proud of the courageous efforts you have undertaken in securing a bright future for yourself. No less in the field in which you actually enjoy making a living. It takes alot of bravery to undergo this and for that I salute each and everyone of you. With that said, I really really wish the best to each and everyone of you.

Hello everyone, another lurker here and decided to add my voice to this thread. I applied to 13 schools, the usual suspects and several other ones. I wish to focus on Political Theory (ancient theory to be precise). My GRE Scores were okay (V: 159, Q:148, AW: 5.5). I graduated from an accredited California law school in 2013 and passed the California Bar Exam on my first attempt that summer as well. I have not done math for around eleven years, and no amount of extra studying would have greatly improved my Q scores. Also, English is my third language, though I have been living in the States for 15 years now. I am pretty much a nervous wreck at this moment. I do not take things for granted and hope that I get into one of my three top choices. Some of my applications are still shown as incomplete while others are stated as complete. One of the schools did not receive my official GRE scores (or they are unable to locate them), and I have been in touch with them informing them of the batch number and etc. Another school informed me of a letter missing. So I contacted the professor and explained to the program what had transpired. I figured that I might as well join this thread and either partake in the celebrations, or give free command to the lamentations. Either way, I sincerely wish you all the best of luck.
