I got an e-mail today telling me that the BU adcomm would like to see my fall grades before making a final decision.

Has anyone else received this e-mail? What does this typically mean? Do I simply need to send my updated transcript to LSAC to move things along?

Edit: Ah, I just noticed a few older posts that mentioned the same e-mail (albeit in early Dec). Still, I wonder what this means..

Maybe this means that they want you, but not badly? :)

Complete on 12/23.

How long do they usually take to release decisions? I'm hoping for mid-late February.

I'm sorry! Dinging via email? Sounds like a lot of schools are doing new methods this year. Hmm.

What are your stats?

Have they called everyone who has been accepted / will they do that for the whole cycle?

Without a status checker to at least warn you of a decision being finalized, a ding email seems abrupt and especially unkind.

Sorry to hear that. Good luck with the rest of your cycle. I'm sure you'll be successful with those numbers.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
