So where does it look like everyone will be come August? Granted there is still some time before things become totally official but most of us should have a decent idea by now.
So far it is looking like Notre Dame for me, though it's not official yet

Such a happy thread! I love that this is a place where we celebrate each other's hard work and accomplishments.
I decided on Harvard. Feel like I'm in a dream right now - as a west coaster my whole life, Harvard didn't even seem like a real place where real people go, but I'm so excited for the possibilities there and have been connecting with other public interest students who are really satisfied with the support offered. No grades is another upside, and I will take an annoying selfie with a SCOTUS member in the background the first time I see someone who fits that description.
liquor store.
Just got $90,000 from Northwestern right off the bat with a 2.74/170. Miracles do happen y'all :D
Northwestern Pritzker, which means I need to buy a coat and some full-length pants. Not much need for those here in Dallas.
Received 24k per year from SMU and made my decision in a heart beat. Spending $549 for the LSAT ultimate is one of the best decisions I've ever made. It literally saved me $72,000. Talk about a solid return on investment!!! This place is special. Congrats to everyone else! Glad to see some 7sagers crack the t14.
University of Virginia School of Law, extremely excited and owe it all to the fine people here.
Tossup b/w NYU and Berkeley. Leaning towards Berkeley w/aid offer. Sending good vibes to all those 3x LSAT takers out there.
well Notre Dame is official for me, deposited the other day... soooo is it August yet?
Anyone headed to NYC?? Just put down my deposit for NYU! ^_^
Paying $700 per month for a 1 bedroom apartment in Dallas. Safe neighborhood, no bugs (albeit older building), but still. Will split rent with my gf 50-50 while in school to boot. Can't beat the cost of living down south.
@allisongillsanford643.gill.sanford in all seriousness I live in Boston and work in Harvard Square. I'm actually looking at HLS out the window as we speak. Lmk if you need any help settling in or advice on anything around here. I'm from Louisiana, but I've lived here about 2 years.
Also - conratufreakinlations and I hope to join you in a year!! :)

I applied late so I am still actually waiting on a few schools, but as of right now it's a toss up between Wash u, Michigan, Texas, and Georgetown.
Penn
Georgia State
And I thought Seattle was bad... I can't imagine the jump from Louisiana rent...
Thanks everyone! @allisongillsanford643 let me know when you're applying!! You just gotta go kill the June administration, which you will!!
@wraith985-4026 yeah feel free to connect me to your students! I will definitely need new friends... @grantnicar6 thanks for the offer, I'm asking around about housing in particular so PM me if you have input about how to be close to campus but not pay astronomical rent...
I hope this isn't based on BCS or Breaking Bad ...
The thing that boggles my mind about Better Call Saul is that he gets hired as the equivalent of a 4th year associate in a NM law firm, but gets a company car, personal assistant, spacious personal office, and his own fancy desk! In a story about meth and cartels and shady legal practices and whatnot, I find this to be the most unbelievable aspect!
Congratulations on Harvard! I live in the Boston suburbs, feel free to ask any questions you might have about the area. It's definitely different from the west coast :-)
W&L
Heading to Harvard too.
@nicole LOL. Would be thoroughly terrified to lease anywhere in DFW that charged $350 per month rent.
Yeah, housing down south is incredible. My house in south MS was 800/month for three bedrooms, in a highly desirable historic neighborhood. I don't know where I’m going yet, but wherever it is, I get the feeling rent is going to really suck!
"Astronomical rent" is definitely a relative term. I used to live in La Jolla, CA, so I thought Cambridge area rents were actually very reasonable, especially if you're willing to be a bus/subway ride away from Harvard Sq. They would still count as "astronomical" by most normal standards though....
