Can law schools that haven't decided see your deposit? Forum

[Hahalollawl]

Hi All,
So I made a deposit at a law school (was due on 4/1...) but I haven't heard back from a few schools yet. My question is, will the law schools that I haven't heard back from yet be able to see that I have made a deposit? Might it affect their decision? Thanks for any information!

I would suggest asking this on the Spivey thread.

Schools tend to share lists of depositors. Not necessarily the first round (although it does happen), but definitely the second round.

That is not entirely correct. Schools share their list of depositors to LSAC, who then share commitment overlaps with schools. So if you have deposited at X & Y school, only X and Y school will know that. If you have not heard from a school they will not know where else you have deposited.

Does LSAC share commitment overlaps with schools even before mid-May?
