Fortunately, the next day, Jason received an email from a friend who was attending a law school in Florida. He had forwarded advice and information about his school - Ave Maria School of Law, a Catholic school - through the BYU-Idaho pre-law society. Jason contacted him because the school sounded really nice, and wanted to get more information. The LSAT score Jason received seemed to be sufficient for this law school. It seems like the school is really friendly to people of all religions, and especially students with spouses and children. They generally have several activities during a given time for the families of the students. The campus is only 3 minutes from the beach (which I've heard has been voted the best beach in America by the Travel Channel!), and the town it's located in is mainly known for its tourism, so Andrew and I would have lots to do there.
So Jason applied to get in the day after he talked with his friend. It looks to us that there's a really good chance Jason will get in to this school, so if all goes well, we'll be moving to Florida in August!
Wish us luck! Maybe this time next month we'll know we're heading to a place with some of these:
...a lot of this:
...where the average high temperature for this month is this: 80°
...and the sunsets look like this:
We're really excited to hear back from the school, hopefully in several weeks rather than months. If we get in, there's really nothing stopping us from going there but ourselves. It's funny how a little misfortune can actually bring you something a little better fitted for you than you were originally planning.
I can't wait to take this kid to the beach!:
hey melody sorry to hear about the rejection letter. but hopefully things will work out for floida, my bro and sister lived in floria for awhile and loved it!
ReplyDeleteoh, good luck! we'll keep our fingers crossed for you.
ReplyDeleteAh, darn it, that is too bad about BYU. But I really hope you get into Florida, because you will LOVE the warm weather during the cold Rexburg months. Let us know as soon as you find out! I am really sad that you'll be moving though. :(
ReplyDeleteaw that would be such a fun experience for him!
ReplyDeleteI's sorry you didn't get in! Just means your needed else where :)
Isn't it amazing how life's lemons sometimes turn into lemonade all by themselves! Florida looks awesome! You'll like it there, I'm sure. Who wouldn't love perpetual warmth and beaches? Let us know how Jason's application goes! And, if you need a place to stop on your travels down to Florida, Dallas is sort of on the way!
ReplyDeleteI've never had anything but trouble from BYU. I applied there for my undergrad. The day passed when I should have had my accept/deny letter, so I called to see what was up. They told me I hadn't sent in part of my application. (I was really annoyed that they hadn't notified me of this). When I asked them which part I was missing, the girl looked it up and said "Oh, never mind. We have your whole application. However, it's too late to get any scholarship or student aid." That's when I said adios to BYU. Jon applied there for his master's and they took months to give him his acceptance letter. By that time, we'd already accepted another school and found housing and everything. Oh, and no scholarship even though Jon has an awesome GPA. Anyway...
