They processed mine way quicker than I thought, especially considering I'm international. Took about a week - 10 days iirc

This. I went from 36th to 73rd on my recent LSAT. I'll be retaking in February. Sigh.
Good luck!

Hello everyone, happy new year! Just wanted to share my update: began sending apps in early November and have received acceptances to Berkeley, UVA, Michigan, Cornell and WashU. Most recently accepted to Cornell, from which I heard back on Dec. 23. You can find my stats in the URM spreadsheet under "109catherine," but please feel free to PM in case of additional q's. Best of luck to everyone still working on apps and waiting to receive that first batch of acceptances!

Although only 8 people have voted in the current poll, I think it's interesting that no one has selected NYC yet since it's such a 'desirable' market.

Really? I think NYC is seen as the "safety" market. I'm betting most people will bid NYC + their preferred market in order to balance their desire for that market with the desire to avoid striking out.

Congrats Atmosphere!

I love Berkeley so much for coming right out of the holiday break with a wave. I wish certain other Bay Area schools would follow their lead...

That makes sense. It just seems like many people around TLS talk about NYC.

Lol, agree. Though I have no chance there, just ready to get my rejection already.

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but...what is the "WE" category on the spreadsheet?
