Law School Update

So while I was enjoying Spring Break, I got a letter from NC Central Law School, which is my safety school.

This is a 4th tier law school that is known as the most diverse in the nation. While it is not my top choice, there are only two public law schools in NC and that plays a role. My LSAT and GPA are way above their average and my activities are great. (Not being conceited, but I am an ALPHA PHI http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/icons/icon12.gif) haha joking about that part. They are racially mixed at 50/50.

Well, the letter said they needed my Personal Statement, which they do not require as part of their application. The funny thing is, that the personal statement is on file with my application online (through LSDAS service) and they have received a hard copy of it back in December.

It just stinks because now my application is at hte bottom of the pile (all applications are in now) and when I applied I was at the top. The use rolling admissions, so a lot of people have already been accepted to the program and the spaces are limited.

Call their admissions office and speak with an admissions officer. Offer to fax them a copy of your personal statement and politely inquire whether there is anything else you can provide for them and whether there were problems with them obtaining information from LSDAS. Tell them you are very interested in their school and that you will do anything to help them complete their evaluation process.

Good luck!
