I saw one person said that they received an admissions packet 3 weeks after interviewing. Has anyone else been admitted (or received any decision) after interviewing? If so, what was the time frame like?

How did the interview go? Any curveballs other than Why LS/GULC?

My interviewer was very relaxed. It felt more like a conversation than an interview. So long as you can articulate why you want to go to law school and why you'd like to attend Georgetown, I wouldn't worry.

No, he asked me those two questions, then asked me point by point about each thing on my resume, and what other schools I was applying to. He also asked if I had any questions for him, and he told me about georgetown and why he liked it.

In at Georgetown!!! I was complete 11/14.

Congratulations!

Congratulations! Looks like all the fretting between you, Miamioxford, and I paid off. Was this your first acceptance? How did you find out at so odd an hour?

Again, congrats. You give hope to 167's.

Congrats Sandwhiches! And I second EMZE's statement, you are giving hope to us all lol And how did you find out so early in the AM?

Thanks everyone! I found out at such a special hour because I don't live in America... Yes... Now I'm revealing myself if anyone reads but 167s have faith! Some people on TLS told me to not even bother because I had a much higher score in practice and I messed up on the real deal (I had to cancel and wasn't allowed to take again since I took once before.) I was going to wait out this year and try again on the LSAT and apply for 2013 but I figured I'd just apply this cycle and see what happens. I really want to go in 2012 so I put a fair amount of effort into my applications. Don't lose hope!

Edit: Yes, this is my first acceptance and the first decision I've heard from a school. I applied to most schools towards the end of October.

It was so nice. I had a handwritten note from the Dean. I screamed when I got the letter and scared some man delivering chicken nearby.

Not only am I ecstatic for you, but now I plan to roam the world finding this enigmatic, Chicken delivery man. Truly you give hope to all. Did your status update after 11/14?

As someone with a very similar LSAT score who updated 11/21, I am starting to feel very very hopefull

Congrats!

I'm hoping with the sttus update on 11/21, the address update, and the program change that my acceptance is in the mail w/e it's almost Thanksgiving and I am in an optimitic mood

I am checking my mailbox every 5 min... I probably shouldn't though since it's been only 2 days after the last update..

Still nothing. I really hope it comes today.

I don't know how I'm going to survive when I start waiting for the schools that are actually my top choices

hang in there. Mail probably hasn't run yet

Nothing in my mail today . My one acceptance took 3 days, so maybe I'll just have to wait until after Thanksgiving

I feel like the fact that my interview isn't for another week is gonna screw me over

The fact that they offered you an interview should give you confidence enough that they want you. I'd kill for one.

hyakku wrote:Applied 11/10 I believe, got my status checker / complete message 11/14, was just updated again to 11/22 sometime today. I feel like all my apps are starting to move at once -_-, don't know if I'm happy or a bit petrified at the idea, but I've already submitted now so I guess it's time to wait for the verdicts.

first complete 11/16, and I just noticed that the date updated to 11/22? I am hoping the decision is in the mail.

Complete status updated to 11/23. Is the general consensus that I should be getting something in the mail (presuming I've been admitted?).

3rd "Completed" was 11/21. Nothing in the mail today, so I guess I'm waiting until Black Friday.

nothing in the mail...

No mail for me, either.

I had 4 "completed" dates.. Hopefully no more..

anewaphorist wrote:^Credited, luxxe. An EA app to Cornell, although a ship that's already sailed this cycle, could be the ticket for someone with a 167/sub-3.9, so a situation does exist in which a 'chasm' between those numbers yawns 'widely'.

Yeah, thats wrong also. BTW, who are you 'quoting'.
