All acceptees: Please withdraw and withdraw quickly to other schools (Penn, NYU, Gtown, etc) that you don't plan on attending.

I am soooo heartbroken because I did not receive an email! Does this essentially mean a ding for us applicants who didn't get an email this morning? What has history taught us about CLS acceptances?

No, I think there is very little evidence to suggest that is the case.

When did you go complete? CLS says apps are generally reviewed in the order that they went complete, so it might take a minute for us late-completes.

I was complete on June 17. Top 4% at a T50s school. No e-mail today.

Moderately concerned.

Me. All my supporting materials were mailed last week. I have almost identical numbers to EggShell and Columbia is my first choice. Anxiety of waiting to go complete is killing me- especially with the Berk deadline coming up.

I went complete 6/28 which is before the three admits that posted their complete dates (6/30, 7/1, 7/5). Anyone else complete before those those dates and not get an email?

I went complete June 30. But I am at a T2. All of the acceptees were from T1s with solid grades. If any T2s are accepted, it will most likely be in the second round or later.

A big congrats to all of today's admits. Egg's late complete date (7/5) makes me very optimistic because of the speed with which the committee can review apps. (My complete date was 7/7.) So stay positive. I'm sure there are plenty of spots left for us.
