Top Law Schools

NY took me approximately 4 months (3d dept)
CA took me approximately 6 months

I have a lot of prior work experience before law school, I have hard this slows things down (they have to confirm it all).

I didn't have any inquiries or delays in the process, just submitted and sat on my hands until they let me in.

Texas took around 6 months, with no issues.

Michigan took me 2-3 months, I think. I cut it pretty close to the deadline (late May or early June to request all of my docs and I think the deadline was June 20) and heard back a week or two after the bar in August. I had no issues and nothing very complicated in my history.

NY (1st Dept) took about 4 months for me.

Georgia says it takes 2-3 months, from the time they actually start working on it. I submitted in late December, they didn't actually begin the investigation until mid-March. Mildly concerning since you can't take the bar without first passing CF.
