Congrats, about time! You beat me to CR2, been stuck at CR1 for officially 1.5 months after 2 months of complete. Do I need to mount a Trojan horse-style attack on admissions to get noticed?

Maybe I'm getting a bit antsy.

i applied two days before you and have had a decision for a few weeks now, so i think it's tough to make a guess.

I got my 3rd CR 2 update lol. It must be their way of telling me I am dinged :(. Or they are just letting me know that my application is still around. Oh well, I am not too optimistic on my chances, but I would love a decision sometime soon.

CR2's= 2/4 2/18 3/5

It may be because I called their office yesterday. Not sure if I played it right, either. I called because my checklist got changed from "no future LSAT" to "future LSAT" because I signed up for June. I called to make sure that it wouldn't affect my timeline, because it's essentially a contingency plan in case I decide to wait it out a cycle. I stressed that I really wanted to go to USC. Guess we'll see.

I have it on good authority that my file fell behind a ficus plant in the admissions office.

I got admitted after 3 updates to 2CR too. The offer came 3 days after the last update. Scholarship info 2 days after that. Keep your hope alive!
