Nope, no review for me. Complete 10/31.
Hmmm... That sucks. I bet the first round of acceptances will come out and then you'll go to review.

Get off my lawn!
I used that phrase earlier today. We can be old together. How old are you?
Ugh. Don't make me *say* it.
I'm 35.

Help me understand why we're thinking today's the day? I'm all for it, of course, but I'm not sure what the reasoning is. I know we're in the 4th week of November, and the chart on the first page shows zero on that week 2009-2010, and many on the first week of December.

Because status checker says this: "The Admissions Committee does not anticipate reviewing applications and releasing decisions until mid to late November."
Then people can tell their relatives over Thanksgiving dinner!

Does yours still say that? Mine has no such banner any more, or at least not since I went into review.

I suspect that networking with other students outside of school - while fun, and potentially useful - is less important than doing well in school and in OCI's.

They aren't mutually exclusive. Although I can't prove this, the more social 2L's seem to be the ones towards the top of their class. I do know that I've gotten a lot of old outlines through going out and meeting people. So to each their own.
You guys are acting like you won't have any free time in law school-- spoiler until 2L year and late November/December you will have plenty of it. The average workload is 20/25 pages a night per class your first semester. You will have substantive classes 2 or 3 days a week depending on your schedule. That is a lot of free time to do other stuff. Some people spend their free time blowing through videos on netflix or on the web.. other people do social things.

If it helps, I can set up a 1L D&D night for next year.
