Hi psag!
Good for you! Don't forget that “every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world,” SO GO ON AND APPLY TO THE GREATEST LAW SCHOOL IN THE WORLD :-). I am also applying to Yale and I hope for the best, its pretty competitive I know, so we have to gird our loins :-). I hope we can meet there next year.
So what do you do currently? Are you in Addis?
Well Psag, best of luck and lets share thoughts and tips in this journey. Wish you all the best!!

Hi guys,
How is the application process going? I am left with two more to finish and I am through and then have to wait and wait....oh the waiting, I think nothing damages applicants more than the waiting.
BEST OF LUCK EVERYONE, hope to hear how your process is treating you, challenges, light moments... etc

Hi Econ Rights!

Your concern about fellow Africans applicants is great!! I am an African, from Kenya:) I'm definitely applying to several American Universities: Harvard, Stanford, NYU, BU, Columbia, Cornell...(it doesn't hurt to apply i just might get lucky) Are you a Kenyan...thought I saw some Kiswahili? Are you a student or are you working? I am still a student doing my final year...

Regards,
Ojousama

Hi again everyone!! How goes the waiting? Are any of you still working on your applications? Anyone got admitted anywhere?
How is the wait so far?
For me, its nerve wrecking, but hey, the darkest hour is just before the break of dawn :-)! I hope all of you are not too nerve wrecked. I sent my last application to Cardozo last week, and now I am done, just waiting and crossing my fingers :-).
Once again, best of luck and I hope you will be able to get admissions to the schools of your choice.

It's sad that at the end of the day, its the dollar that ends up dictating where u go, if u go...:-(. So unfortunate. Should have gone corporate after law school. But then again, trying to make the world a better place is a calling more than anything else.

Hey Wan:

I am in the same boat. I also got half. However, if Penn Law gives me substantially more, I will go to Penn, it's only 55 minutes from NYC and the living costs are way much cheaper and I kinda liked the way Penn treated people during the application process.

I am giving up my seat at Columbia, Michigan, Cardozo and Indiana. So I am just really torn between Penn and NYU and right now it boils down to the dollar for me, both schools are incredible.

When was your deadline for acceptance from NYU?
