Yea, you're right. You can even see the "Report Date" ... which for me is some days ago.

I'm really hoping a 3.0 163 EA will get me in. All this talk of being accepted is getting me nervous!!!

Oh and went in committee 11/3

That is a good LSAT score for them. Would be hard to deny with that. Good luck

I went into committee on 11/10.

With a 157/3.67, the classic reverse splitter, I am sitting at the edge of my seat.

The bevy of "acceptance calculators" out there gives me about a 70% chance of admission... I wish I were that optimistic.

This whole hoopla is just so stressful. I don't remember being this bothered at the prospect of getting into undergrad.

In any case, I do have a question for the minds, members and trolls on the particular forum: how much of a role do you think that a double major or degree will have in the decision making process at Santa Clara?

Hm, you're not much of a splitter at all. Your LSAT is the 25th percentile, and your GPA is only a tad over the 75th percentile.

I am thinking you are probably in, your GPA is great and your LSAT is not bad

I think you are fine, but make sure you have safetys. You have better stats than me if it makes you feel any better

Wow, I guess I'm a splitter...my GPA is below the 25%, but the LSAT is above the 75%...it'll be interesting to see what happens in our cases, haha.

Just went In Committee today! Submitted 10/30, but doesn't list me as sent until 11/2. Let's hope that doesn't hurt my chances at acceptance since I missed their Early Action deadline.

I'm in the same situation, same dates and everything, and had the same question.

So, seeking enlightenment, I called SCU to find out whether my application would still qualify for early action. I was delighted to learn that it did.

I sent on 11/1, and mine says 11/2 on the status.
But on the front page of each app that I submitted on 11/1 it says "Transmission Date and Time: 11/01/2009" ... so they have that as their front page. I would be surprised if any school didn't go by that.

You just made my morning :)

I think I have a good shot at getting in 167/3.42, but I am a New Yorker with ZERO ties to CA, so I am quite concerned that it will give the adcom pause as to why I want to go.

I think you are confusing a law firm with a law school. Why should Santa Clara be opposed to you being from New York.

Well, I assume with all schools it's a numbers game. I kind of assumed an adcom would be leery of offering a spot to an applicant who might not attend just because it means moving their lives cross country for what is not a T14 school or something.

Not to mention, this whole process is just freaking me out, the only think comparable I ever applied for was an MFA and that was, suffice to say a very different game ;)

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
