Top Law Schools

So i figured I'd start a thread to see which schools are getting applicants complete quickly. I've applied to BU, UMinn, UIllinois, GWU, Fordham, Texas, Berk, and Cornell in the last week. So far only gone "complete" at Minnesota. Anyone else hear from schools you've applied to?

I have gone lsac completed at: Texas, Berkeley, Michigan, duke, northwestern, UVA, Cornell, Baylor, u of h, smu, and vandy. I have gotten emails with status checker ids from Berkeley, UVA, duke, Houston, And Baylor.

I've gone complete at NYU and Michigan.

Got status checker from Hawaii and UoP, gone complete at Pacific

Went complete at:
Boston, Chicago, Columbia, Cornell, Duke, Fordham, GW, NYU
Status Checkers from Duke & Chicago, heard from Duke.

How long after you go "complete" should you get a status checker? or is there no set time period?

I think the more meaningful "complete" would be your file being complete at the school. You usually won't be complete for a couple of weeks after LSAC send your file out to the school. You will generally get a status checker and wait for it to go complete at the school. Then you will learn to log in and check your status compulsively for about 1000 times before it actually changes to something other than "complete". some never change (like Columbia).

yeah i was referring to the school notification of having gone complete. some schools are notoriously slow (ahem cornell). i applied last year and never went complete. just got rejected in may. i can't wait to have a bunch of status checkers to busy up my days with. .. yes i know i'm a glutton for teasers. i also enjoy nytimes crossword puzzles... none of which i've finished.

i feel light years behind

Ah I see. Thanks for the clarification. Waiting will be so painful... ack.

Hannibal I would but that would just be cruel. But not even that cruel. Think of it like this. You still get to imagine what can be rather than settling with what is. Study for a 170+!

Does UT have a status checker? I have UT and Cornell in common with you. Cornell was really quick with the checker last year, but of course took 3 months to get a decision, which I never received. I just checked recently and the decision status was updated to June 23, but I still never received anything in the mail. I am starting to wonder if it is worth it to apply this time around.

UT has a status checker, though from what I've read it's kind of useless. I don't think they usually update your status until well after you've received a snail mail decision, if at all.

And I don't know when you should expect a status check id/password email from them. I alread submitted my app and haven't heard from them, but supposedly they don't actually start accepting/reviewing them until after sep. 15. Last year's mid september submissions started seeing EA responses towards the end of October.

I am officially complete at Duke! One down, ten to go~

just got my berkeley status checker... still not complete though

I got mine on the 2nd, and it still says "we have received your application". I don't think they start looking at applications until october, so ours may not change for a while.

LSAC complete at U.Va, Duke, Michigan, Chicago, Columbia, Cornell, and Texas

Status checkers received from Duke and U.Va

Just a quick question! For those of you that went complete at NYU....how long did it take? I handed my app in last week Tuesday and I it still hasn't gone complete... (I am getting a little worried)

Thanks so much!

that was me, i'm a noob and thought "LSAC completed" meant complete, and was wrong. haha. I handed all my apps in Sept 1 (including NYU) and have only gotten status checkers from duke and columbia

Uhhh I sent it in the evening of the 7th? Went complete/ready for review on the 8th I think, then started being under review on the 10th. & have remained there ever since...

Applied to UVA, Cornell, Vandy so far and got status checker for UVA and Vandy, no email from Cornell

Cornell is supposedly switching over to a new system or something for applications, and emails should be going out at the beginning of next week to people who have already submitted apps.
