Jan/Feb App Purgatory (2010 Edition) Forum

I need status checker rehab. Can't stop checking...!!

heh heh. this is me too! complete at some schools, not a word from others...the temptation to keep applying to more is definitely there...

[los blancos]

I'm with you guys. Almost all of my apps went out the second week of Jan. Got one acceptance so I'm happy, but waiting on Berkeley is killing me. I think when it's all added up I probably spend more than an hour every day dreaming of what it would be like to get in.

I've already talked myself into and out of every school to which I applied. By the time I get a decision I'll probably have decided to keep my current job for another year and regret the decision by next fall.

Perfectly captures my mental gymnastics!

I got some great scholarships from WM and WL and I was getting really excited to hear back form the rest of the schools I applied to, but then I got waitlisted at GW. Now I'm just confused and worried. I just want to hear back from everywhere else!

I think part two of your plans may become my reality as well.

Been lurking for ages. Ignore the stupid username. Just sent in all of my info and now I'm practically in the fetal position on the floor. SO nervous. Had no idea that I wanted this whole thing so badly! It all started as a whim...

AHHHH.

+1 just got priority WL @ GULC and am now in a fit of panic with the rest of my aps still out.

Has anyone gone complete at Penn? I've been at "recieved/processing" since 1/15!!!

Received and Processing also...

I am still waiting for my Feb LSAT score so I will be behind all of you!

My back up plans are actually progressing much faster I have a full-time faculty position lined up at my UG teaching freshman computer science courses while working on graduate degree. So if this cycle dissappoints I will probably reapply in a better position. Actually even if I get in where I want I may defer.

Good luck everyone! This wait may be worse than the past...

[akili]

Count me in. I've heard from 3 schools. Only like 12 left. Ughhhh

I've heard from two. Thirteen left. Though the next one could end my cycle.

Penn hasn't even sent me a status checker email yet. I keep bugging them about it but Admissions is a little... hm... "deliberate."

How's everyone surviving?
I'm havin a bit of a tough run so far t14-wise (1 rej, 2 wls, 4 still pending), am pretty sure applying late hurt me.

UPenn status checker finally went under review 3/15, but Duke still has me at complete 1/28, and I'm no longer bothering to look at Cornell's funny-but-not-haha-funny status checker...

[NUMB3RFIFTY]

I'm in the same situation.

I glare at the mailbox so often, the mailman avoids me like he owes me child support.

[yeff]

So, how'd things go for everyone?

I feel like an earlier application would have made a big difference for a couple of schools. IUB waitlist would have turned into at least an acceptance, probably with some money. Wisconsin wailist may have turned into an acceptance, but hard to say there. Ditto for UNC.

Lesson - study hard for June/October LSAT so you aren't stuck taking it in December.

[JCougar]

Ugh.

Waitlisted (maybe permanently) at my top three choices: WUSTL, Minnesota and Illinois.

Applying early would make me nearly auto-admit at two out of those three, and given me a great chance at the other one.

In at my fourth choice (Wisconsin in-state tuition).

It's not over yet, as Illinois hasn't even begun to draw people off its waitlist, and WUSTL and Minnesota have barely begun. But this is certainly taking longer and becoming more nerve-wracking than I had originally anticipated. Waitlist activity is starting very slowly this year. I feel like it's time for me to start making moving plans already. I didn't have much of a choice in applying late, though. Contrary to trahekat's assertion above, I over-studied for the September LSAT and psyched myself out. I studied about three days for my February retake that got me 10 extra points on the LSAT, because I was far more relaxed.
