WHERE IS JORDAN GOING?
Well, scoring in the 99 percentile in the LSAT paid off for my biology major. Jordan, who applied to a dozen law schools got his first response....and its an acceptance! Jordan applied only to top tier law schools like Harvard and University of Chicago...etc but for fun also applied to only two 2nd tier ones like Arizona State and an intriguing law school in Hamden, Connecticutt called Quinnipiac School of Law. (Click on the colored texts---it links you to the school's website!) I think it was the name that intrigued him. I think that was brave. Well, Quinnipiac School of Law sent him an acceptance letter plus incentives.
HOWEVER, he was also accepted into the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia where he was offered all kinds of incentives like, reduced tuition, jobs on campus including assisting a law professor--- a very sought-after and prestigious position and a $4,000 stipend. Notable alumni from this law school would be the likes of....former US presidents THOMAS JEFFERSON, James Tyler and James Monroe, several Virginia governors. Desmond Tutu was their commencement speaker last year.
The next day, he received another acceptance letter from George Washington University Law School in Washington, D.C.--ranked #19 in the top tier listing of law schools. Famous alumni who graduated there would be Senator Harry Reid (but we don't like him...), David M. Kennedy, Daniel Inouye, senator from Hawaii, and many others.
He also got accepted to BYU Law School with incentives but I don't know the details yet. BYU Law School is also in the top tiered rankings. So far, no rejections yet. We are still waiting to hear from a few more law schools. We are very excited for Jordan and he has some tough decisions to make when he gets the rest of his acceptance letters. Exciting. I am very excited for him. He has plenty to look forward to including an exciting seven weeks in England and Scotland with a small group of English students who will be studying the works of British writers. Keep checking this particular blog because I'll update this as we get more word from the rest of the law schools.
