<p>Okay, I am pretty sure I have been waitlisted from Baylor. Throughout this process I was corresponding with the grad dept coordinator (a prof) and he said (a few months back) that they send out the first round of decisions by the end of Feb but if you are waitlisted you may not hear from them until April (no later than April 15). </p>
<p>I only applied to 2 PhD programs b/c of where my husband is stationed (and we have two small boys so me going away right now is not an option). I submitted my apps expecting to be rejected b/c my GRE was, you all are going to die, 1020. (God that was embarrassing to write.) I think my saving grace was my JD from Georgetown, my legal experience, and my teaching experience at a community college. On the downside, I have a five yr gap b/c of my children, PLUS the shockingly low GRE score (in my defense, I took the test cold, no studying at all). </p>
<p>REcently I was told it was not too late, and it wouldn’t hurt, to submit to the committee my LSAT scores which were in the 93rd percentile (i didn’t study for that damn test either but it tests your analytical, logic, and argument skills, no math or vocab). </p>
<p>For my writing sample, I submitted an impressive peice of legal writing from my time practicing at a large firm in DC. Now I am thinking I should have submitted my required final article from GULC b/c it is more academic and theoretical. I didn’t submit it, however, b/c the topic was access to abortion and poverty among women and I felt that might have been too controversial. </p>
<p>My question is this: should I contact that professor and ask if they would be interested in seeing this article? But then I feel like I am making a nuisance or seeming desperate–although I am desperate b/c i really don’t want to have to go through retaking the gre and applying to these schools again.</p>
<p>Is there anything else I could or should be doing? Or should I just submit those LSAT scores and wait? </p>
<p>IF you read all of this, thank you.</p>
