Howdy friends,
Well, the admit. dean from the Texas school that everyone said was a reach phoned me a little while ago to invite me to the summer program. I asked him if grades were contingent upon being admitted and was told, no, I was admitted, and that I just had to take the class. I guess they want to see if I can survive West Texas in summer.
Well, it's Laramie in winter for MSW, or Lubbock in summer for JD. Cowboys or Red Raiders. What's your choice?
Emailed the dean of other school. That was fun. He's really a nice guy, and has nothing to do with admissions.
Now I have two exciting things to consider. Have pretty much committed to UW, but I sure could use some advice!
High fives!

I've been reading your saga with admissions since I first started on this board, so I don't know if it helps having my advice or not but here it is.... Go to law school if you have the chance. You've worked so hard to get to this point.
Whatever decision you make, I'm sure it will be the right one for you!

Congratulations - that's so great!!
I can't give any advice on which to do - so much depends on your personal situation and what you're willing to do - but what a great feeling!
(and my best wishes for your husband's health, by the way.)

Congratulations, Mary. I'm so very happy for you. Should your husband's health permit it, I say go to law school-- that's where you belong.

Hahaha, I sometimes sign and sometimes don't, but I don't mind having my name used. We're working on getting our house sold and may be for a few months while I continue working at a paying job until August. We may move out early if we sell soon, though, and I'll just work remotely from a mountainside lair.
I know that I would have enjoyed a summer course if I weren't coming right out of school (as I am) just to get me back in the swing of things.
Best,
Adam

Thanks, Iceborer-I guess we aren't using names unless printed anymore.
You're welcome to use my name. I just stopped using it years ago because there was an actual username of "Greg," and he asked me to stop signing my messages. So, I did.

That is so awesome Mary! Glad to hear it. Considering all that went into it, I hope you go. Best of luck either way, though.

Mary - Congratulations! I come here daily to see if there's a message from you, what I nice surprise to see it tonight.
I say if your hubby's health permits, go to law school so you never wonder, "What if?" If you find it's not for you, I'll bet you could still get into the other program.

Well Mary, it seems like a no-brainer to me. Though I'm not sure, judging from your contributions and your posts here I believe you've wanted to go to LS longer than you've wanted an MSW.
Congratulations!!!
Your news today is the news all of us of await.
