Got a call on the cell from a 216 number. Couldn't imagine who it would be, but it turned out to be CWRU Law. If we rewind a little bit, CWRU Law rejected me outright a few months back. I was a little stunned at the time. I wasn't even waitlisted. I was one of the "Wow, you really don't belong here" guys.
Now, I really didn't intend to attend CWRU. It was a bit of an ego-stroke thing. I wanted to be accepted. I also graduated from CWRU b-school. So, I guess there was a sort of sentimental angle to wanting to be accepted to the law school.
The caller said they're re-evaluating some of the applicants based on some sort of new or revised criteria. She asked if anything had changed in my circumstances or whether I would be interested in them taking another look at my application packet.
In all honesty, I was going to go to U of Toledo all along, anyway. They actually came through with a $10,000 a year scholarship. (Roughly half-ride.) So, they've been pretty good to me so far. As sure as I was that I was going there before, once I got the scholarship, that pretty much sealed it.
For the briefest of moments, I considered lying just to see if they'd re-consider my app and perhaps admit me. However, I simply told them the truth: that I have decided to go to a different school.
