Backdoor isn't working for me, but no address changes or anything. I have no idea how the two are connected though.

because this time there's no "USA" action, the only move they did is updating the address, so I'm wondering may be that's the indication for admission.

How is the address updated? From what to what?

No, I'm still sitting on both. I'm right there with you about them reconsidering. Clinging to the unlikely hope that somehow there's a difference in when they examine PT apps, and I'll get an update soon.

Yea maybe they are still doing evaluations.

Worst case scenario you will be deferred because your stats are very good. What is your GPA?

This thread blew up quickly!

Couple of things:

1) If you are "in" through the backdoor or when official acceptances go out, and you want to help feed next year's 1L anxiety/information bank, please reply to this with your stats so I can update the original post. (Also please take out the other quotes so the others' notifications aren't flooded).

2)
Has backdoor worked for anybody that applied to both?
Yes, hopefully they are entering them in batches and more backdoor access will work later today/ this week.

3)

I got the email with a username and password! But it doesn't let me actually log in with the username and pw. Is this normal? According to Nebby in the 2015 EA transfer post it is...

"Yeah, you'll get a temporary password. The password won't work until a few days later (mine took four days before I could actually log in using the password), but as long as it gives you a password then you're good."
I'm a little salty that you basically got "first" but congratuations to you, Elfy, iwishyoubestluck, Transfer2016, and everyone else!

Hopefully more good news for TLSers is on the way.

New to the forum, so though I would share - GPA 3.71 (school does not rank - certain it is in top %15 bc they gave scholarship offer). TT school. 1 CALI. LSAT was 161. Engineering undergrad / patent bar for what it's worth. DC area. Backdoor didn't work, so I was probably deferred

I also applied, no idea. Spoke with some transfers there who said they heard early May. Hoping we hear earlier.

They weren't early decision though, right? Really don't wait to have to wait another 3 weeks

T2 (70-80) with 3.74, likely just outside the 10% bubble (No rankings, maybe 13%ish). Applied EA Part-Time. No back door. Odds I still have a chance?

You do have a chance regular decision if you stay the same. If you get inside 10%, then you will probably get in.

I'm in the same boat at 15%. If I can get inside top 10%, I might have a shot.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
