Anyone still stuck on 2/17 besides ME

There are some, Geneva for example. I think Lawbro et al. are right when they suspect that you'll be part of the last 2/17 batch from which they reject and/or waitlist people. They'll take whoever's left and combine them with the people who survived the last 2 waitlist/rejection waves and give them a bunch of waitlists/acceptances. We could also see some acceptances starting today...

Stuck on 2/17 as well

[lilhmoney]

I am stuck on a way, way earlier date than 2/17.

UR: 2/17-->3/22
Accepted People: How many days between going to UR 2 and getting accepted? Does Penn accept people by email?

Some get answers right after their 2nd UR but it seems to be different for different people. I had by 2nd UR on 1/23 and still have not heard.

I think you and HannahMontana are clear candidates for YP. By any chance, is Penn #1 for either of you?

[Elliott_Smith]

Movement from 2/17 today. Yikes.

[Bronck]

Any word yet on when Penn will give out non-named scholarships?

I feel like a baller

[cjcregg]

How are people hearing about scholarships now? Email/mail/phone? Do they inform differently for named/no-name scholarships?

I was just rejected
I wrote a "Why Penn" essay. I guess my LSAT score was just too low?

Sorry about that .. I hope you get into other good schools!

Would you mind sharing your complete dates?

Thank you. Good luck to you! I haven't been following the dates but I applied pretty late in the cycle (after Dec. LSAT scores were released) and I got a 165/3.8. I'm pretty sure my LSAT is what killed me. I was hoping to boost my chances of getting off the waitlist by retaking LSAT in June and cracking 170...but I guess Penn really doesn't want me since they didn't even waitlist me?

I think it was your LSAT score ... You have a great GPA .. if you are keen on joining Penn Law .. you should def. consider retaking and reapplying.

I don't know about that...you're an URM, aren't you, Aqua? Those are actually really strong numbers for an URM, especially at Penn. I don't know what's up, but I'd be surprised if your LSAT score was the issue...

I'm half AA and half German and wrote a pretty strong diversity statement. I'm a little confused too just because Columbia and Harvard placed me on hold, so I was hoping for at least a waitlist. Does this mean an LSAT retake won't help me at Penn? Is it crazy to try to call to see what the deal is?

[YesNoMaybe]

Don't call. Sometimes crazy things happen. I'm T6 secured and just got dinged by WULST (my "safety" LOL). (I forgot I even applied! Never checked the status checker). Admissions is not a science. I know a hurts right now, but you'll be fine. In the end things work out and you'll go to a great school. You'll go where you're meant to be. Don't be too upset. I'm sorry Aqua.

Thank you! I appreciate your kind words. I take things way too personally and keep wondering what I did wrong. Congrats on getting into T6. I bet WUSTL is probs a YP.

[YesNoMaybe]

Thank you! You too! Also, I am a dumb. HAHAHA I was waitlisted at WUSTL not dinged. That's what happens when you only read part of the email.

Sorry to hear that aqua

Were you by any chance part of the 3/22 2nd UR group?

[parebare23]

2/17, 3/1, and......3/27 uh oh.

[aptorres]

Can someone remind me how many times we go under review before a decision is rendered? (Status checker just went from 2/17 to 3/27).
