Still sitting at complete...have an admissions tour / meeting tommorow.
Has anyone else done one of these? is there a way to make an impression with any of the adcomms?

CW is that SMU doesn't negotiate. While that seems to be strictly true in that I've never heard of anyone having luck asking for and getting an increase based on what another school puts on the table, they're not above calling with a better offer to fill out the class in the last days before orientation (a friend was called during orientation at the school he was going to the day before SMU orientation).

From what I've heard and read over the past couple of years, no one has had any luck

That has been my impression as well.

I hope so, I have stopped checking the status checker because I am tired of it saying the same thing with the same date.

Date just changed to 2/3. Have been complete for around 6 weeks, I believe. Hopefully a decision is near?

I believe that's just to let you know that calling them would be futile and that they will call you to notify. I got first notice of my acceptance via telephone.

Mine indicates that too. It's not worded to indicate a decision has been made though. I think it says that decisions won't be released over the phone so that applicants don't call asking for their decision. It does indicate that "official" decisions are mailed because thats usually how it works for all law schools (they say that so that any accidental admit email or status update doesn't bind them, I imagine). Often times the Dean or someone in admissions will call the applicant (or email them) to give them an "unofficial" decision. We're still in the running, Dutchess!

I got that message the day I was admitted--other people did, too. I've got a feeling that you're going to receive a call from a 214 number later this afternoon.

It's crazy how much anxiety just left my body reading that message. Thank you for the encouraging words.

Not to make you guys obsess over your status checker more than you already are, but for me I found out through status checker before getting a call. GL!
