I didn't even send a LOCI, and I got in after deferred decision. I think having the LOCI does help though, but it's definitely not necessary and doesn't make or break your ability to get into a school.chicarda wrote:+1Johnny5959 wrote:Actually, I would say don't send it.

I just need closure here...this is painful. Surely, they would have rejected me by now? Why keep me strung a long like bait on a hook? I'm dreaming about Kent in my sleep. Has anyone seen Kent's little video? I keep envisioning the scene where students are slamming their lockers shut.
Thank you so much Brangara! Congratulations and Best of luck as well.brangara wrote:singingkris wrote:I have to vent. I've been in final review for over a week.

I was in final review for about 2.5 weeks before they gave me deferred decision. About a month after the deferred decision (as of yesterday) they accepted me. So from what I'm seeing, most people being notified around this time are getting deferred decision, so I'd be prepared to hear something like that, but don't lose hope because they could still turn around and offer you an acceptance like they did for me. Good luck!

Is there any chance at all that they will negotiate a scholarship with someone this late who's in off of the wait list? I'm not going unless they give me a big chunk of money, but it's still nice to know that I wasn't dinged.

When did you apply? Are you in review or 'Final review'?IHaveLawyers wrote:I have been in review since 3/21... how long did it take you guys? FML!
Have they already rendered a decision? If ur deferred I would send a hard copy via mail and email them an FYI or a follow-up email confirming receipt. If you're still in review send everything via email to not waste time. I sent them a loci while in review and one week later the director of admissions replied confirming mychristinem20 wrote:question:
I've sent about 3 emails to "admissions@kentlaw.edu" and I have never gotten a response. Has anyone ever gotten an email response? Is it better to submit my resume via mail?
It says "Application Complete - In Review," I applied really late in the cycle, my apps went on in late Feb.singingkris wrote:When did you apply? Are you in review or 'Final review'?IHaveLawyers wrote:I have been in review since 3/21... how long did it take you guys? FML!
Don't worry they'll get to you. The next stage of the process is final review.IHaveLawyers wrote:It says "Application Complete - In Review," I applied really late in the cycle, my apps went on in late Feb.singingkris wrote:When did you apply?

Email. Be patient they will reply.
Awesome! Good to know... Everyone should let Chicago-Kent know that Loyola Chicago has gotten rid of any GPA stipulations on ALL of their scholarships. All you have to do is stay in academic good standing (2.0+). Try and see if you can get Kent to get rid of your stips if possible!CortninO wrote:Hey everyone! I posted that I was let in 2 days ago off the waitlist, and yesterday they e-mailed me the package they were sending, which I received today.
Anyway, I wanted to let everyone know that they do offer scholarships to those on the WL! I was offered a choice b/w two: Either 20,000 a year contingent on GPA, dropping to half if I fall below, or a guaranteed 12,000 a year w/o any contingencies.
Just wanted to let others wondering about this know!

I'm full time and was admitted two days ago, and was waitlisted around the same time as you. Good luck!Scottie88 wrote:has anyone been accepted from the waitlist for the part time program? Currently deferred since 12/10 for part time..
