Has anyone recently received acceptance to SU's Access Admission Program?

I haven't seen or heard of anyone getting an acceptance to this program as of yet. I'm still waiting to hear back myself. Hopefully something today? When did you get notified that you were being considered for the program. Mine was in late January.

I just got an email Tuesday that said the ARC (Access Program) decisions should start rolling out this week

I didn't get an email like that. I hope it doesn't mean it's bad news! I would really like to find out either way. Are you being considered for this program as well?

I didn't get an email like that either. I was notified on 1/10 that I was being considered for the ARC program but haven't heard anything since then.

Any decision updates today?

Still under review. Better than a denial!

It wasn't a mass email, it was a private correspondence with someone in admissions.

A friend got their notification of acceptance for this program today

In with an email last night! U/R 1/31.

Is anyone else experiencing trouble with the status checker?

Hi there. I was recently admitted and I was curious on how long it takes to receive the admit package in the mail? Thanks!

Mine took a little over two weeks. I am out of state though.

All of the Pacific NW schools dropped in rankings with the exception of Gonzaga.
UW from 20 to 28
Lewis and Clark from 58 to 80
U of O from 82 to 94
Seattle from 82 to 102
Gonzaga stayed at 113
Willamette from 129 to no published rank

Yikes.

And as a seattle resident these are the reasons why I did not apply to any law school in the PNW, including UW.
This is scary business, especially because these drops are probably over 90% because of job prospects.

[RaleighStClair]

If you're basing your decision off of these rankings, you're doing it wrong.

If you're considering low T2 (and apparently now T3) schools, you should only be considering the ones in the region where you have connections. If that place is Seattle the ranking won't make one damn bit of difference.

[NikiShiz]

Yikes, a lot of changes in the T2/T3 sections.

Hey there, I was wondering if any current SU students have any insight or can share their experiences so far in the program? As a soon to be 1L, I'm curious what it's going to be like as a future SU student.

Also, does anyone have information on the laptops? I can't seem to purchase the laptop from their website, not until I get my official email set up. Is this a specific one or just a recommended one? I'm trying to get ahead of what I need to do in preparation for my summer classes.

Thanks!
