75th LSAT and >75th GPA and I'm also waiting, so I'll join the good numbers waiting club. Early Jan submission; late Jan complete.

I think we've already discussed this in PM but yeah, I've been wondering the same thing. Of course it could just be a combination of other factors holding me back.elterrible78 wrote:I'm starting to wonder if one of my recommenders didn't write me such a good letter. Like, not bad enough for schools to ignore my numbers and softs, but enough to give them pause.

Yeah, I wasn't complaining. I don't expect to hear for another 2-3 weeks. Just figured people here were anxious to chart numbers vis-a-vis complete dates so I added my two cents for the good of all!twinkletoes16 wrote:bbsg wrote:75th LSAT and >75th GPA and I'm also waiting, so I'll join the good numbers waiting club.

You've hardly been waiting. Lots of us were 2012 completes.

My numbers and softs aren't extraordinary either, so I don't really know what the process is here.
1/22 complete??? Ughh god.
Sorry, I realize that kind of makes me sound like a jerk. I just meant that there are others here with higher LSAT scores than mine that haven't heard back yet, so there isn't anything special about my numbers that explains why my decision came sooner, despite my late submission. It might just be partially random, and I wouldn't read too much into dates.spyke123 wrote:applemaroon wrote:square_peg wrote:I'm a January applicant too (submitted 1/14, went complete 1/22) and I believe I was accepted on 2/4 or 2/5.

says the guy who has 175/3.9....
That's a pretty neat feature. Using the old version it was very difficult to read any details when you hit a cluster of identical or nearly-identical numbers. The ability to sort applicants by $$$ is also useful.banjo wrote:You can zoom into a specific area of the graph. I don't think you could do that before, could you?
The completion email seems to indicate it's worth reading into dates, though:square_peg wrote:Sorry, I realize that kind of makes me sound like a jerk.

Perhaps they go through the applicants in order, separate the auto-dings and the auto-accepts and the 'look more closely' files, and then proceed accordingly. In that case everyone from, say, 12/25 to 1/25 could just have their acceptances shipped out in one big batch while they simultaneously spend some time fleshing out the "look more closely" pile? In that case some people with a 1/22 date would receive an acceptance while the 1/8 person was still under consideration.spyke123 wrote: The completion email seems to indicate it's worth reading into dates, though:
"We will forward your file to the Admissions Committee, which will evaluate it in the order in which it was completed."
which pretty much means.. everyone who went complete earlier than 1/22 got their apps reviewed already... and CLS decided to move on..
It makes more sense that they do it this way, given this (LinkRemoved) graph.bbsg wrote:Perhaps they go through the applicants in order, separate the auto-dings and the auto-accepts and the 'look more closely' files, and then proceed accordingly.

That's how I would do it. I'm not an expert by any stretch, mind you.
Forgive me for being such a n00b but how does one read/interpret that chart?LSATSCORES2012 wrote:It makes more sense that they do it this way, given this (LinkRemoved) graph.bbsg wrote:Perhaps they go through the applicants in order, separate the auto-dings and the auto-accepts and the 'look more closely' files, and then proceed accordingly.

The only thing is I can't find my data point on a single graph. I wonder if LSN is trying to tell me something.banjo wrote:You can zoom into a specific area of the graph. I don't think you could do that before, could you?
Maybe. Or there is some numerical threshold that triggers an auto-acceptance, while others that are on the bubble are reviewed.which pretty much means.. everyone who went complete earlier than 1/22 got their apps reviewed already... and CLS decided to move on..spyke123 wrote:The completion email seems to indicate it's worth reading into dates, though:bbsg wrote: Sorry, I realize that kind of makes me sound like a jerk.

Oooooooh, that would do it.
