Who'd you hear from? - Post-December LSAT Applicants Forum

[BenJ]

Complete at Columbia, UCLA, and Texas-Austin.

STILL waiting to go complete at Cornell, UChicago, Michigan, and Penn, applied to all on 1/5. I'm kind of worried about Penn, because on the status checker, all that's checked off as being received is the LSDAS report -- the personal statement, resume, etc. boxes aren't checked. Which is weird because I looked again at the LSAC report, and that's all in there. It was submitted on 1/5.

Might call 'em tomorrow to make sure everything's OK.

I have the same, although I submitted later (on 1/11). I think Penn is just slow to fill out the check boxes. I wouldn't expect a complete at Chicago until at least mid-February. They're way behind and working in strict chronological order--and they just finished making decisions on most of the October completes. Cornell is also notorious for not updating its status checker; someone reported a few days ago that their status checker miraculously changed to "Complete 11/xx" (some date in November) despite it being well into January.

Whew okay, that makes me feel better. I was getting nervous about Penn magically not receiving things. It's kind of amazing how paranoid status checkers can make you.

I called most go the schools listed above. Penn is behind and Chicago won't be getting to any post -dec apps anytime soon.

Stanford just told me that my application is complete.
Sent on 1/4.

[Bikeflip]

GMU let me in via voicemail, but I sent my app back in December. Sucks that I'm having all my mail sent to my permanent address, so I do not know about other applications.

Congrats! Applied at the same time as you, do you mind sharing your numbers? Is Emory a top choice for you?

Okay, unlikely to get many responses, but anyway... has anyone applied to Yale within the past month or so? About how long does it take to get the complete e-mail? Has anyone applied since the December LSAT and gone complete? (I haven't, submitted 12/30.) I don't think I have a chance at Yale because my GPA is mediocre for them and my softs are nothing special, but I can still dream.

yale is notoriously slow. applied a few days after you; I'm not complete and not expecting to hear anything until april. (unless they consider me an auto-reject.)

and don't use this pseudo-humble "I don't think I have a chance" (I don't-want-to-jinx-myself) bullshit. you have a 178.

Meh. I genuinely do not expect much from Yale. They don't care about numbers as long as your numbers are good, so a 178 is not as useful as it is for the other T6. I mean, maybe I offer something unique that I'm not aware of, but I feel a lot like generic person #439,784 who decided to apply to law school in junior year and who has generic undergraduate softs with nothing spectacular and a Y250 with a really boring topic. Perhaps not. Yale would be awesome.

Woo, pessimism!

Plus, you know, they rejected me for undergrad in favor of a girl from my high school who spoke openly about cheating on the SAT and who I was forced to be debate partners with who was only on the team to pad her college apps and who I suspect slept with a teacher to get her recommendation. It doesn't endear Yale to me. (I would take them anyway, though.)

I also had to be debate partners with a complete shlomoe, so I feel your pains. She wasn't as crazy as yours sounds tho.

Took LSAT in June but was a fool and waited until 12/15 to submit even though all the recs I was ever going to get had been in since 11/15 (was waiting on a rec from another prof, now on the NSC, who wrote me a Fulbright rec but decided to return to working on national security issues after) -

173, 3.86, lots of research assistance + individual research, article in scholarly journal pub. by UCB press, Stanford

Harvard -

JR1 email 1/15
JR1 call 1/20

got skipped for first round of JR2 yesterday

Yale - (not submitted until 1/8 or so)

got some email a couple days ago about how its peak application period for them and that they received notification from LSAC that I submitted and will probably get my actual app in a week

Stanford -

notification application received on 12/17, but no email that application is complete or correspondence ever since

also, no correspondence (via email anyway; forgot to forward the mail from my 'current' address to my permanent - currently studying abroad; and my mom canceled my US cell which i listed as my current phone number --;) from Georgetown, NYU, Chicago at all (not even app received!) and none from Columbia or UCB since app received

-should I be worried and try to contact the schools that have not corresponded with me at all? aka stanford?

i applied to stanford on dec 29 and got a "received" email a week later and a "complete" email a few days ago. maybe you should get in touch with them.

[bloodonthetracks]

UR at Harvard. yikes. awaiting the blow.

FWIW I just went complete the other day at Columbia. Applied first week of January.

[Zara]

went complete at NYU today. I applied on 1/7.

I'm complete or UR everywhere now except for maybe notre dame, berkeley, Penn, and Yale...I haven't heard anything from them.

Is there a status checker for UT-Austin? I've only gotten a received app email.

+1



Heard from UVA today. Got in, so I'm very happy. Not as happy about making a fool of myself on the phone, but I think they understand.

Sauer Grapes,
What are our numbers? Did you apply ED? UVA is my top choice, but I am still just complete and am crazy antsy.

[Interminable_Waiting]

In today at Brooklyn via email. Will need a full scholarship to consider them.
Complete today at NYU and yesterday at Columbia. Both huge reaches though, so I am not expecting good news.

[adrib]

There is--I got mine on Saturday after applying on the 9th.
--
I have a question: I applied to NU on 1/9, and they have not yet requested my report from LSAC--it still shows up under my active apps, even. Is this normal?

[BenJ]

Ahh! Finally complete at Columbia! What they were doing sending e-mails at 8:11 p.m., I have no idea, but I am very relieved. (Applied 12/29, received 12/30.)
