For you Harvard applicants, did it take awhile for your app to get updated from "application received"? They've had mine for a week, but my status checker doesn't list what materials they've received, what's missing, etc.

Took me six days from submission to go to "Application Ready for Review." Maybe more apps are coming in as the deadline approaches so it's taking a bit longer?

The requirement list never materializes, so you won't know what they do and don't have.

I called to make sure my UG/LS sent the Dean's forms and was told to email them at the general admissions office email address and they would get back to me. I did that, and 2 days later I got an email back telling me they received all my forms. Still at Application Received myself though since 6/22.

Georgetown only took 61 transfers last year?

Columbia took 78?!

These are 2010 numbers. Columbia took far fewer last year (~40?). Something about higher yield percentage from the 1Ls, not sure. Search the threads from last year.

Harvard has said mine is "processing" for some time now...

.

The basic info provided about # of transfers is accurate. It is 2010 data and gives the same #'s as LSAC school info does. However, the inferences drawn in that article are in contradiction with a lot of what I have heard...particularly about the success of Columbia transfers aiming for biglaw.

I looked back through some of the posts from last year and it seemed like everyone sat at "ready for review" until decisions came out. Did I misinterpret those posts?

Chicago app still says Under Review, but date changed to today's date...

Submitted LSAC app on 6/28 at like 6AM. Put in Dean's letter, transcript, etc about two weeks prior.

Complete:
Northwestern
Duke
UVA
Penn
U Wash

Not complete:
Columbia (LSAC file hasn't been matched up with Dean's letter and transcript)

No contact yet:
Harvard
NYU
Michigan

my chicago tracker did a second under review update too...

Any update for those applying to H who had still been stuck at Application Received? I applied 6/26 with no movement since.

Yeah, I'm thrilled (and lucky). This is much more fun than applying the first time around.

Is Stanford's UR just "your app has been submitted for review"?

That's what I am calling it.

Whelp, now that I've started hearing back (fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu), might as well throw down my updates:

Stats: T2 (50s), Ranked 7/250, 2 CALIs, biglaw SA, law review, moot court, blah blah.

Under Review
Chicago - Deferred ED 5/25 (no word)
NYU - Still Processing 6/11 (wtf.) Finally Complete 7/6
Northwestern - Complete 6/19
Columbia - Complete 6/20
Penn - Complete 6/28
Duke - Phone interview requested 6/29; last updated 7/5

Results Back
Berkeley - OUT (7/5)
UVA - OUT (7/3)

someone reject me already, I need some closure.

As of: 7/23

Stats: T20, Estimated Top 1-2 percent, 1L SA, 4 years WE, no word on journals yet.

Under Review
Harvard - "Application Ready for Review," 6/22
Yale - Complete, 7/17
Duke - Phone interview requested 6/29 (Not interested on my part)

Results Back
Columbia - IN via email, 7/20
Penn - IN via phone call, 6/28
NYU - IN via status change to "Decision Letter Sent," on 7/5; log-in to admitted students portal 7/6; UPS acceptance packet received 7/9
UVA - DING via email, 7/12

Could hear rom chicago and harvard today if they keep schedule from last year...

I haven't seen anyone post that they had moved from "ready for review" at H... do you mean hear back that they are going under review?
