So here I go.....

I have considered the transfer route if my score isn't stellar. I just wanted a decent score so i could go to law school here locally. UNC may be a state school but they have a very good ranking and a very competitive to get into! Even for in-state residents!
Yes, she did have me confused with another PNAM.... for a minute I was wondering did I miss something

And just a shameless plug...... GO CANES!!!!!!

I've been told by so many people where you go to school will probably be where you end up. Since I love the south

a great program like UNC would work well for me! (although I love Duke, I like UNC's program much better.... it's much better suited for the types of law I would want to practice). I thank you so much for the kind words! I look at it this way, I did the best I could do and whatever happens next was supposed to happen. Maybe I wasn't supposed to end up in law school? Who knows, we'll see! But i really do thank you for your warm words.... it means a great deal!

Amazingly I'm not really that stressed about it anymore.... I know I gave it my all and that was all I had. Now I just hope I can go somewhere

And if it doesn't work out, that's ok. I have backup plans!!

Ok, so there are some changes in my life! I have been miserable in my job for quite some time. I finally got sick of all the bull and quit 2 weeks ago! My last day is Saturday and I haven't felt this good in years. Even though I do not have another job locked down I do have a few things in the pipeline so I won't be out of work long.... the break will be kind of nice! And on the LSAT front.... well the score was not what I hoped for

But like I said before, maybe that was not meant to be. So now I'm going to be re-looking at schools and considering some other possibilities.

I do have question though for those on this board. How can you tell if you are being blown off by a group?

I thought I should better clarify what I meant by the ending of my last post. I've read on here a lot that people can tell if a PNAM has prematurely dropped a group and what not. I kinda feel like if I group had a good time with you and thought you might be a good fit that they would get back in touch with you quickly. That does not appear to be the case to me. I guess my question is am I overreacting to the silence I am getting from this group or am I getting blown off and no one will tell me so? Because if this group doens't think I'm a match, that's ok. But I don't want give up on a group too soon. So that's kinda the type of answer I am looking for. Thank you to anyone who can shed some light on this.

ecupidelta, and other Potential Alumnae Initiates: please realize that, to many NPC groups, this is a new concept. There had been women initiated (such as housemothers) based on service to the GLO, but for the most part, a lot of Alumnae Associations don't truly know how to conduct the part of inviting or declining someone who is a PNAM. Some GLOs do not invite a PNAM to a function unless she's already been vetted by several members; others will invite someone based on a call from their Headquarters.

In other words, there are so many variables that no one can really give you an answer as to if there's been any sort of decision made. Just hang in there, and I'm sure someone will say something. Good luck!

Thanks Honeychille!

I guess I just wanted to seek out some feedback on this just to see what some other people experiences had been. I don't want to keep contacting a group if they don't want me! But if they do and there are just things going on and they just haven't had a chance to get back to you, then you could seem like a psycho. And then if you back off on your communication, you could seem uninterested. It's such a fine line between any of those scenarios I just wanted to see what others had to say (so I can attempt to avoid any of those above listed scenarios!)
