Coincidence? Or are these an indication that they follow what's happening on TLS?

That's what I was thinkin.

You mean TLS isn't the center of the universe? No!

An adcomm accessing your file from home is not inconsistent with their claim that the Committee will not be meeting nor issuing decisions this week.

Oh voice of reason. Deep down I appreciate you, but on the surface I wanted the note to stop people from asking so they can surprise us on Wed.

oh sorrrry...i think when i visited penn bayrex said at least 3 people review each app....that was my third update, i'm just freaking out

nonprofit-prophet · Post by **nonprofit-prophet** » Mon Nov 23, 2009 9:17 pm

oh wow i definitely haven't had 3 updates.

texasgirl22 · Post by **texasgirl22** » Mon Nov 23, 2009 9:28 pm

when did you apply? i applied last minute, 11/15. think i went complete 11/17. under review 11/18, 11/19, and 11/23. i dont know if that's a good sign or a bad sign

nonprofit-prophet · Post by **nonprofit-prophet** » Mon Nov 23, 2009 9:29 pm

i applied about a month ago

texasgirl22 · Post by **texasgirl22** » Mon Nov 23, 2009 9:31 pm

how many times did your status update?....i'm scared now

nonprofit-prophet · Post by **nonprofit-prophet** » Mon Nov 23, 2009 9:41 pm

twice. [To indulge my more neurotic side] Maybe it is better to have gone though three updates, because two updates may mean you've been auto rejected (or auto-admitted, but I don't have auto-admit numbers).

Ok enough speculating... back to the waiting game

roxy8338 · Post by **roxy8338** » Mon Nov 23, 2009 10:01 pm

Definitely making me nervous since the two people with three updates have higher stats than me...

frix0803 · Post by **frix0803** » Mon Nov 23, 2009 10:05 pm

Went complete on 11/5, Review since 11/06 (no date changes since then): if this means anything--though i doubt that it does--it must be either auto-admit or -reject. I hope for the former. Good luck to all.

nonprofit-prophet · Post by **nonprofit-prophet** » Mon Nov 23, 2009 10:36 pm

Texasgirl is the only person i've encountered with 3 updates. Who was the second person?

Lurkster · Post by **Lurkster** » Mon Nov 23, 2009 11:09 pm

Complete last week, UCR two days later, updated today.

MC Southstar · Post by **MC Southstar** » Mon Nov 23, 2009 11:17 pm

Soo... is there any kind of historical precedent or consensus on whether or not early movement is a good thing? Complete since 11/9, under review 11/11, nothing since then.

Highly doubt it. I went UR very soon after going complete, and my numbers make Penn a pretty high reach for me.

i went complete over a month ago and since then have been contacted by the adcom regarding my application but since then my status has not updated....can this possible mean they didn't access my file after that? surely someone must have reviewed it after i answered their questions

Pure conjecture. I'd like to think my numbers give me a very good shot.

i hope there are a lot of high lsat splitters who went ED to compensate for my kind of reverse splitter status. i have so many possible scenarios running through my head....

We should've applied in tandem. . . I'll give you a couple of LSAT points for a couple of tenths. . . deal?

texasgirl22 · Post by **texasgirl22** » Tue Nov 24, 2009 12:01 am

haha deal!

I think a couple LSAT points are worth more than a couple tenths, 1:2 ratio or no deal. Oh wait, I'm normal splitter

AFAIK, there's more grade inflation than there is LSAT inflation, so you might not have that advantage, texasgirl. Who knows what kind of people apply ED to Penn though, LSN has a very small sample size.

Anyone else get even more stressed when they know they are still under review but see that this thread has been bumped? My gut instinct is always "acceptances have gone out, I have been rejected."
