I have been thinking about this status checker change and perhaps we are all being a bit too emotionally charged about it. Perhaps it means exactly what it says: the review is complete, and a final decision is pending. This may not be a blanket statement. In other words, this could mean different things for different people. Perhaps those who have seen no status change (e.g. minuit and deuce), have had no change in status (i.e. they are still under initial review).

I don't think this statement means wait-list, deny, or hold. There is no way that every single person has gotten either wait-listed, denied, or held and the only two accepted are minuit and deuce. I mean I could be wrong here but I think this makes the most sense.

Sixstrings also made a good point; everyone who has this status change seems like they are on the bubble. Maybe this status change means that the reviewers have each individually read the files and they are getting together to talk about them in order to pass a final verdict together.
Yeah maybe you're right (read: I'm going to believe this because it makes me feel better).

I'm almost sure you are above both medians. (I know you're above the 162 LSAT median, but not sure about GPA). I really hope we get some answers soon! I don't like not knowing :(

I can't imagine them not accepting you... this is all very odd.

Haha I wouldn't lie to you! So far all of my friends have had their statuses change, good and bad #s alike except for me. I'm guessing it means they don't like my application and it's being held over for another round of review.

That is because the message DOES NOT MEAN you will not be accepted...

Does the fact that I am out-of-state really make this any different?

Well I was speaking more generally and not specifically about you being out of state, although it certainly does make things interesting since you seem pretty close to an auto-admit (and therefore give me hope about my status) even if you are out of state.

Sent my package off today. I hope I haven't arrived to late in this game. I've got 163/3.8 and thought that would be safe enough here, though I had a rough time writing a meaningful addendum for my two previous scores (148, 149) based on how UF words their treatment of them in the application instructions. And I thought waiting for LSAT scores was bad.

The instuctions say something about in the abscence of illness or some other factor beyond the applicant's control, they will consider all scores and that score jumps should be explained in an addendum. It seems like if they don't get an answer that satisfies their expectations, they'll possibly average or still give some weight to the lower scores. I sincerly hope they don't do that, and I'm sure that when pnly one bad score is involved, they probably dont. But two probably makes them a little more investigative.

They FINALLY cashed my application fee check. I don't know that that has ANYTHING to do with a decision; but, I am glad because it took almost two solid months for them to do it.

Ahhh okay! I just looked and I did attach an LSAT addendum for them. Good! I had a decent reason I guess, and I got a 9 point jump without studying on the next test so I hope it works out. You got me all worried.. hha

It started as an on-topic thread, but eventually we got lounged. SF=Super Friendliness, pretty much a contrast to the BP (bitter pessimism) thread. Good peoples :D
