Here's an update on the Law School hunt. After getting an email from my personal council, Bud "Lunger" Lutz, I realized I left everyone hanging with the idea of me pursuing my dream of Law School. Well on friday I applied to three schools. For those of you don't know me or my last year too well, I applied to a bunch of Law Schools last year: Georgia State (Atlanta), University of Louisville, UGA, Samford, Ole Miss, and St. Mary's. I only got into St. Mary's but after closer inspection it didn't look like the right choice b/c its in texas and its a school trying to recover from some stupid mistakes.
This year I applied to Georgia State, this time as a Georgia Resident, however I really think I'm not going to get in there. There average LSAT score is a 158, my LSAT score was a 151, big difference. Also after further consideration commuting down town for school five days a week doesn't sound great and living in student housing might be tough to swallow for the wifey. I also applied to Mercer which is a private college in Macon. Oddly enough I thought it was a real high brow, at least like a vanderbilt or emory, but there average LSat score is only a 153 so I feel a little better about my chances there. Also living Macon would help us being close to the in-laws what with a free meal here and there adn a roof until we could find one for ourselves. The third school I applied to was St Louis University. Now here's where Bud scratches his head. He applied and didn't get in and he had a higher LSAT and GPA. Well the only hope I have of getting in there... good old nepotism. My father, both grandfather, and countless uncles and aunts are alum of SLU. So if for some reason SLU has any loyalty to my family I may have a shot, if they don't then lets hope something else comes to fruition. My legal council Lunger thinks I should stear towards Mizzou. I may but what stinks is I lost my Missouri state hood when i married Janelle and stayed in Georgia taking GA residency. Oh well. You got to know when to hold them, and know when to fold them. So Mizzou possibly this week, maybe Ole Miss again, and maybe Samford again, I think i was on the waiting list at Samford so we'll see. I figure my dream just needs one more shot.. and if it fails, if I fail, then i stick with Cigna and have to play the corporate ladder game for the rest of my life. We'll see. More updates to come.
Holtie, you defame me! While I entertaioned thoughts of applying there, I never did. The only school from "the loop" (to quote Nelly) that I applied to was WU.
Oh, and you can get MO residency here as long as your wifey has a job and she supports you.
