They have a super small class size. Maybe yield protect? IDK. The 7sage predictor told me I had like a 90%+ chance to get in lol

I got a full ride with living expenses. About 1 week after applying. I'm attending. In my letter it says that 99% of students meet the 2.2 gpa requirement for my full scholarship by the end of the first year.

@QeDRa2Oa: That is awesome. My index is not as high as yours but I hope I get that same one. I'm just in the slot for others index for the same award and 2.2 is a great GPA minimum.

@RunnerOfTheKing: I just looked at your profile and 1. it's similar to mine 2. it's better except the tiny LSAT difference. Therefore, if I was an admissions officer, I would give you the same offer.

@QeDRa2Oa: Thank you. I hope I get off the waitlist this May because June is do or die for last seat deposit
