Yeah it's the worst watching people get decisions when you don't have your score. BUT the wait between applying and hearing back will be much shorter (at least for those of is holding off until scores) so there's that...
It's the shittiest thing ever. Especially when your current stats are above or near the 75th for some of those schools. Yet, they're in and you're still incomplete.

Damn, dosto. Bring me right back down to earth. That would absolutely blow.

ETA: Good luck to those peeps!

Tea, I've got an idea for a new POAL for retakers:

Range or specific score that you got on the Oct LSAT (or a previous LSAT)

How about a poll of what kind of jobs people currently have, because Im curious. Either do it by:
1. Salary range maybe, with one answer being none
2. Type of employment: Waiter, retail, paralegal, etc.

Just a thought

wait is there evidence to support this? because that would be awesome.
Maybe just in a sense that if others would have to wait until the last deadline for decisions, we wouldn't have to wait as long since we put in our apps later than other did lol (hope that makes sense)

Yeah that's what I meant. Like if you submitted in September and didn't hear back until April versus January to April... Slightly less infuriating to be stuck at complete for a few months versus more than half a year.

really speaks to how much some of the early advantage is overhyped

This cycle maybe a lot more people are aware, or more active on LSN than before, therefore possibly explaining the discrepancy?

if this makes you feel any better, the applicants with better stats probably applied earlier in the cycle and the quality of applicants may be dropping now making the competition for that last 60% not as bad?

but wow that is a really high % for this point in the cycle. Columbia hasn't even sent out a single acceptance yet.
