How quick do they usually update the tracker to indicate a complete file? All of my stuff should have been received early this week, but none of it is checked off. I am sure they are busy and I don't want to needlessly bother them, so I'm just curious.

Congrats to those accepted! Interesting that the admissions office was working through the weekend. I'm almost certain I'm a WL/reject at this point (no interview, still at 6/18 status date)...should hear by July 4 I guess.

Don't jump the gun. If you haven't heard back this week or the next, then it's safe to assume you were WL/rejected. It's way too early to tell what's going on, but this week will be important.

Agreed, don't jump the gun. I recently got an email requesting an interview. So, they are still giving them out.

If we haven't heard anything, do you think admissions would find it annoying if we tried to supplement our application. For example, sending in another Letter of Recommendation? My file "status" has not been updated since (6/24).

Yes, especially if you supplement with another Letter of Recommendation.

I sent them an email Thursday updating them of my class rank, #2/top 1-2%, and they responded on the same day saying "thank you for the email, and your continued interest in Penn Law. We added the info to your file." Still no other update or interview request since then :(

I think it's perfectly fine to update your rank if it is higher than you estimated. That's different than sending supplemental essays/additional recommendations just because you haven't received an interview request.

Nothing here. Acceptances should be coming out either today or tomorrow based on what people who interviewed have said.

They aren't open tomorrow though, right? I was told that they closed today at 2:00 too. So, I'm hoping to hear from them on Monday.

Two posters (seen above) were admitted on a Saturday. I can't imagine that the admissions office was open then. Maybe the office distributes phone numbers and/or email addresses to staff to place calls over the weekend. But that may just be wishful thinking...

Maybe, but I kinda doubt it over a holiday weekend.
