How long is entirely too long for an admission decision?

Post by RedBronco » Sat Apr 16, 2016 8:01 am

79 days and counting, as I wait for a decision from one of my schools. I have $80 tied up in the application, including the LSAC fee.

I have already deposited at another school, and will be attending. Still, I paid for a damned decision from Indecisive Law.

Am I wrong to consider this 2.5-month wait to be excessive? How long is too long, and does the ABA have an actual opinion on the turnaround time for an admission decision?

Haha...thanks. Okay, maybe 79 days isn't too long then. My longest wait from any other school was three weeks, hence my aggravation.

And upon submission, the school initially said 3-6 weeks.

I applied to Stanford on September 2nd. And am still waiting. Nobody knows my pain.
