  First off, congrats, that is awesome. Secondly, Thank you. I'm retaking the LSAT in October (LSAT Round 2). I needed the encouragement, hoping to be telling a similar story later this year. :-)

  So where are you headed, Nilesh? If you gave up a spot at UCI Law I imagine you're headed somewhere awesome!

  I'm headed to Georgetown. But it was a really tough choice between two awesome schools.
  What tipped it in GULC's favor was that the place where I'm doing my PhD from is on the east coast... so if I wanted to be in touch with my supervisors, GULC would be closer.

  That's awesome, Nilesh! Congratulations. I love Georgetown and surroundings, let alone the Smithsonians, etc. Really happy for you!

  Thanks Marie... I would have really liked to join you at Cal... you'll be having a great time there... the weather is awesome, the setting is great, and Erwin Chemerinsky is the number one con law scholar in the nation... even when I was doing my LL.M at Chicago, his book got me thru... and it still helps me to teach con law at my PhD program.

  So many degrees, Nilesh! I thought I'd covered most bases with my MD PhD MSEd but look at you go! Yes, I may well accept UCI Law but I'll wait to hear from other schools too, though I do have the big draw of my daughters both being at UCI Law (a 1L and a 2L) and I'd love to be near them after being thousands of miles apart for years!

  Aww! Your daughters will be a 3L and a 2L and you'll also be there as a 1L. How great is that?

  @Marie4lawschool this is so cool and awesome... if you go to you'll be with both your daughters... as for degrees, haha I am giving you serious competition... a BA, an LL.B in my own country, 3 LL.Ms London, Penn and Chicago and a PhD and finally a JD

  Congrats! The people at UCI are awesome. I was in the summer POP program and I got to know the faculty a little. Definitely a warm, welcoming and motivating place. Best of luck on the February LSAT and for scholarship negotiations!
