Anyone else get the follow up email from UCHI from their Black Law Students Association? I got a fee waiver Monday, applied Tuesday, got a follow up email today from BLSA.

I received a fee waiver on Monday, but no follow-up from the BLSA? If I got one, can I assume I'll receive the other?

I got one without yet applying (although I should soon). Sitting on this retake. I don't know if I should apply now or just wait until December.

Thanks!

Sent the app on October 7th so I'm assuming it went complete a few days later. One thing to note is the application status checker never changed; even now it still just says "application complete". It came in the mail also. Not email.

Good job bud! I'm assuming that their quick turnaround of an acceptance is likely a good indicator that you're going to get into better schools.
