Dear X,

Thank you for your interest in Washington University School of Law. We have received your application for admission to our JD program and we will be requesting your LSDAS report from the Law School Admission Council shortly. Once your file is complete and we have received your LSDAS report, it will be sent to the admissions committee for review.

A completed file contains a signed application, a $70 application fee or fee waiver materials, a personal statement, and an explanation for any affirmative response to the disciplinary questions at the end of the application. We encourage applicants to send in letters of recommendation and a resume, but we will not consider applications missing these items incomplete. If there is an N following any item(s) on the list, please send the specific item(s) as your file is incomplete without it. (Y = received; N = not received)

Application Fee: Y
Signature: Y
Conduct Questions: Y
Personal Statement: Y


We appreciate your patience during the application process. We encourage you to visit our website at http://law.wustl.edu. If you have any questions, or would like to arrange a visit, please do not hesitate to contact us at 314-935-4525.


I got this exactly same thing via snail mail about 6 weeks ago and applied to Wash U on November 2nd.

I received the same email, and I also received it several months ago along with a hard copy in the mail. I turned in all my applications in September, and believe I received it shortly thereafter.

Maybe its just some kind of mistake. Anyone else get it?

I just got it too. I guess they were backed up and decided to send all their "app received" emails out at once?

I got it as well, although I talked to the admissions office earlier today to confirm that my file was complete. It is complete already.

I applied in October and have been complete since early November and just got this thing too. I almost had a heart attack when I saw I received a Wash U email though.

No worries guys I just clarified it for us all, I emailed admissions and here is what they sent me back:

Hello Drew,

I apologize for the inconvenience; we have marked you down as complete
so there is nothing else you need to worry about regarding your
application.

Best,

Washington U Law Admissions


BEST OF LUCK TO YOU ALL! :twisted:

And YES I nearly had a heart attack too! I saw "Thank you from Wash U Law" - I figured it was either a Thanks but no thanks or a Thank you and YOU ARE IN! However...it was neither I am saddened to say :twisted:

Haha I thought it was a 'thanks, but no thanks' email too. I was like wow, I must've been in the auto-reject pile for them to get back to me this quickly :lol:

Glad to see it was a false alarm as I was both alarmed (thought it was rejection) as well as pissed (they've had my stuff for two months, get on with the decision-making already!). Don't they recognize our fragile psyches? This is all entirely too much to handle, I need a drink.

I got the same e-mail today as well . . . accept it said they had not received my signature or check . . . but according to my bank account they cashed the check a month and a half ago . . . so I have to call them tomorrow and get this resolved.

Yeah, I called them, too. They had a computer glitch (which maybe explains all the retracted FT scholarships too?). I also have heard nothing from them after going complete mid-December, which is why I had a minor heart attack when I saw that email. That and the email from Notre Dame telling me about their new website...grr.
