It's varying. Some people are skipping steps all together and going in different orders.

I propose a new way for figuring out our progress:

Bahaha...magic 8 Ball=made my morning. It feels like that's what the admissions people are using at this point.Hell,my chances might be better with an 8ball than with my app packet

My status changed from the "all documents received" message directly to "under review by committee" yesterday. fingers crossed!

ok...just called UF...."under review decision pending" means the file has already been reviewed and they are holding it until late march early april, "under review by committee" means the committe is currently looking at it, everyone who has the "under review decision pending" has at one point been "under review by committee" though that may not have shown on status checker....so it looks like its hold/WL for decision pending for now

thanks for calling flhealth....looks like our suspicions were true then

I'm still confused. My status is REVIEWED,past tense...not "under review,decision pending"...is there a difference?

I'm guessing it's the same.. your stats are similar to alot of the other holds so I think you're just waiting as well... I'd guess you're going to get in though eventually.

Lol, no prob

Well your GPA is great and LSAT is just over 25%...
It sucks being borderline at schools, I'm borderline almost everywhere I applied... Makes the wait a looooot longer!

savanna · Post by **savanna** » Tue Mar 03, 2009 3:08 pm

Oh I KNOW...Im 75%GPA and 25%LSAT for almost everywhere I applied. I was accepted to Mercer and Stetson, but the other three I ACTUALLY want to go to,Im so borderline it's not even funny. I wish my numbers split in the opposite direction since apparently GPA doesn't really matter.

I think it matters in a sense that if your GPA is terrible, you might be screwed. If it is great (3.9+) it will help, but anything in the middle seems to all be about the same... I may be wrong but that's how it seems based on this cycle

And you're right, 1-2 LSAT points can be the difference between an acceptance in October and a hold until April

i wonder why they did some people as "reviewed, decision pending," and ultimately skipping the "under review by committee" status checker option...

ive seen such a wide variety of people in this next bunch, from mid 160's to mid 150's, high gpa's to low gpa's....it's very confusing!

well i think they probably just grabbed the next handful of files...

thoughts on writing UF right NOW saying they're my #1 stunna and i REALLY want to practice in the state of florida?? as well as if i get in, i will love them long time???

all joking aside, thoughts? or just wait it out?

geoanthem · Post by **geoanthem** » Tue Mar 03, 2009 4:05 pm

When did you guys submit your apps? I submitted mine Dec 19 and was accepted Feb 9 OOS. I think I was lucky and got picked for the previous batch, I dunno. Maybe I was an auto-admit? 164/3.4 ?

jpin22 · Post by **jpin22** » Tue Mar 03, 2009 4:06 pm

Id say wait it out till maybe end of march and if you havent heard back or wl then write a LOCI.........i didnt go complete till Feb 18th, under committee review right now.

kiss of death....however if you visit, then you can send them a thank you and tell them that the visit solidified UF as your first choice

I am now "under review by committee" as of yesterday as well. Didn't check my status checker until today because yesterday was my 21st birthday.

midrangejumper · Post by **midrangejumper** » Tue Mar 03, 2009 4:33 pm

ya, i will wait it out. i would probably be inclined though to send one right away if i get a "reviewed, decision pending" since that's now been pretty much confirmed as a WL
