Congrats! How did you hear? I just checked my status checker for the first time in a couple weeks and still haven't gone complete to UR (12/03) Eventually I'll hear, but I'm eager to figure out which city in CO I'll end up in next year!

Double post whoops

[CaptainJack]

Through Snail Mail. Although I called and left a message during the holiday break when I saw decision rendered and they emailed me back shortly after before the letter got to me.

Well that's great. I hope you get some good $$. I saw you applied to WI too, so good luck with money there too if you aren't taking UVa!

[sgrimes]

has anyone heard if any rejections have been mailed/received yet?

[PizzaShrapnel]

Just got my acceptance letter in the mail, oh yeah!

[SpottyCoverage]

Just found this forum! Applied Mid-Nov RD, Decision rendered 12/21. Not sure when the letter came in but I found/opened it today. Accepted with 165/3.75 Hoping for a scholarship letter soon. Never been on campus but planning a trip soon. Tips for visiting?

Congrats man! I went to undergrad here, Boulder is an awesome town. You should check out West End Tavern (insane wings), Rooftop at the Rio is always fun on a nice day, maybe grab a beer at the Sundowner (nice little dive bar on pearl street)... If you have extra cash I'd say stay at the St. Julien or the Boulderado. If not, the Broker Inn (may have changed its name, but it's on baseline and 30th I think) is chill and really close to Wolf Law... A skate down the hill then through campus is a great way to see the area, if you're into that.

A beer at the 'downer and a stay at the Broker Inn would've all but guaranteed that I wouldn't have gone to CU.

I'd rent a cheap-ass car, grab whatever the cheapest hidden deal room on Hotwire is for the Louisville/Superior/Broomfield area (10 minute drive from Boulder, but usually a lot cheaper, and the hotels are a lot newer - typically Hotwire puts you in the La Quinta or the Comfort Inn in Louisville), and just cruise the area. Get out and wander campus, the Hill, Pearl, and then drive some neighborhoods/surrounding areas.

Also, don't plan a trip for mid-to-late March if you can avoid it (it's typically beautiful outside unless it's snowing, but when it's snowing, it's dropping 18 inches and closing the airport - hell on travel plans).

I graduated from CU Law last spring (loved every minute of it) and am still kicking around here if anyone has any questions they'd like to PM me.

So, you're saying you don't love the disgustingly tacky decor of the Broker Inn!? haha To be honest, cannot complain with $6 pitchers of pbr at the 'downer when the pockets are thin, though. But, yes, if those were the first two places I saw in Boulder (now that I think about it) I would have run also. haha Sorry for the bad advice Spotty.

Cool! Thanks for the advice. I've applied to a handful of schools and CU was the first one I heard back but I think I'm already leaning that way.

Status checker noted a change on my profile, but nothing changed....did this happen to anyone else?

[hadisious]

Just checked my status checker and I have "We have mailed a decision letter" dated 1/9/12 (this coming Monday) under mailings.

My status is still "application complete" as on 12/2. My requirements haven't changed, just show seat deposits but no due dates. Anybody else have this change?

I have this too...anyone know what it means? It doesn't say decision rendered, just complete.

This has got me a little worried because this is what the ED people had when they got pushed to RD :-\

Best of luck to everyone. This is one of my top choices, really hoping for some good news.

[sgrimes]

it might mean WL.....if it was a rejection I'm assuming it would change to Decision Rendered. I have no idea though.

This is exactly what I was thinking.

edit: Although because it says mailed 1/9/12, maybe they haven't updated the actual status' yet

That's probably it. Mine says the same thing, but the school only yesterday received my updated LSAT score from December. So, it is probably a mistake in the system.

Sorry, guys. I'm kind of the angel of doom on this.

[Ginj]

I have the same thing. So skeered.

Sorry, guys. I'm kind of the angel of doom on this.

I e-mailed the admissions office asking about this. It doesn't seem like that would be the case, simply because the status does not say "Decision Rendered," and I am one of those December LSAT test takers who only yesterday had their file updated. My LSAT score+ GPA+ URM status should make me a good candidate for CU. (3.6/165/good softs/URM status) I'll post an update if the office responds.

OMG I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT. And, you know, they send out similar decisions in waves.

I might cry.

Yeah, I definitely think it's a ding.

Damn, part of me wanted to return to Denver for the first time in over a decade.

But all we get to do now is wait.

I was thinking about calling the office but figured they wouldn't tell me anything without my status saying Decision Rendered. Looking forward to see if you hear anything back.
