Top Law Schools

I'm just curious about how soon should you begin checking your status checkers after you've applied? I submitted my applications about 2 weeks ago and I'm trying to avoid the overly impulsive status checking and constantly refreshing my email.

If I remember right, I didn't hear back from my first school until February.

You can go to lawschoolnumbers .com, there are self-reported dates when people applied, and when they got acceptances. It varies.

For one school (UT Austin) which I believe I was close to getting in, it was May before I found out, and I applied in early December.

Cheers.

Every day, every hour, every second, from the moment you submit your apps to the day you receive your last decision.

I think most schools send emails letting you know that something's changed with your application. They received, it's completed, it's ready for review, etc. I would say sign in once every few days but definitely check your inbox at some time every day.

I submitted everything on the 6th and was pretty steadfast about not checking anything until January. Then I heard back from Vandy on the 16th. Now I'm a crazy person, and now so are you. Happy holidays!

The soonest I heard back from a school was within 10 days of applying. Other schools have said they will begin releasing decisions in January (any time up until April or so).

It is killing me. Although I got into one of my top choices, I'm waiting to hear back from so many other schools. 12 to be exact lol.

Join the applicant threads for each school. People in there will alert you when movement is happening,
