I only applied to one law school (UF) - so thank goodness I got in!
I was fairly confident though, because I knew what "math" I needed (LSAT and GPA) to make it. Plus I went here for undergrad and worked at the alumni association, so I had some "friends in high places" writing me recommendation letters.
But oh wow, did my heart pound when I got that letter in the mail, with "ADMISSIONS - CONFIDENTIAL" stamped on the envelope. I opened it up, saw the word "Congratulations" and then I just yelled and then started crying, I was so happy, I couldn't read anymore because my eyes wouldn't focus. My brother was in the next room and he heard me and came running in. He thought I had gotten rejected! He started giving me a hug and saying "I'm sorry!" I finally managed to get some words out and waved the letter at him. Then we both ran outside - our parents were working in the yard, screaming at them. Scared the crap out of my Dad, he almost dropped a shovel on Mom's foot. Missed her by a couple inches.
