I haven't checked my status checker since receiving the email, and today my application tracker states "your application is under review" (changed as of today). Anyone RD applicants know if everyone's changes so quickly (applied last Saturday and went complete on Monday) or if it's a formality? I try not to check my checkers everyday, otherwise I really will go crazy. Now I'm unsure if I've missed missed other updates.

Just applied after receiving the fee waiver/fast track offer. Would only attend if they end up giving me $$$
161/3.7 and some good softs.

I submitted on Wednesday night and finally received email about status checker on 4:50 am today.Glad to see my status has been changed to under review. I am nervous right now.

[whitespider]

I definitely am curious to know what the distinction is between "your application is under review" and "your application is being reviewed".

I checked again and my status was being reviewed instead of under review. But I am curious too.

Same...Mine just changed. Weird?

"Your application is being reviewed", but the date stayed the same as when it was "under review"

I like to imagine there are two people in the admissions office who disagree on whether "is being reviewed" or "is under review" is the appropriate verbiage, so they are constantly passive-aggressively going in to files and changing it when the other one isn't looking.

Mine has always been "is being reviewed" so I don't think it means much.

Mine now says, "A decision has been made on your application to Boston College Law School by the Admissions Committee. Decisions are sent via e-mail."

However, I don't have an e-mail yet... :/ If you got accepted, did your status checker say "Accepted" or something of that nature? I have a feeling this status update is a WL/rejection lol.

If you haven't already, check your spam. Seems like a lot of decisions are going there. *fingers crossed*

Nothing there either

Would it be a bad idea to e-mail them making sure they have the right e-mail address?

Look on the upper left side of the status tracker. In that area should be the email they have on file for you. I honestly don't know if schools use an automated system to send out decisions or if it's prone to human error. I would assume it's automated, but who knows. If your email is correct and you haven't received anything in a few hours you may want to email just to make sure your file wasn't updated on accident.

I've never heard of something like this happening. Hopefully it's not a trend for BC.

My acceptance email came late afternoon just for a reference. Just breathe, if you don't get an email by tomorrow you might call? Good Luck!

Applied 10/30, accepted via fast track plus 11/7.
Does anyone know when they send out scholarship stuff?

[louisv123]

I applied 10/20 nonfast track and am still under review. I'm guessing because I wasn't fast track they're taking you guys first? Ugh this wait is killing me. I also just had a law school email in my spam from a different school and I panicked for a second.

Ended up getting dinged. Not surprised - my LSAT score is way below their median (though my GPA is higher).

Good luck to the rest of you! I will keep following the thread to see how everything pans out and congratulate y'all!

No scholarship info at all yet that I have seen. I peeked around the thread last year and it looks like a lot of scholarships came in early March. I'm not sure if this was normal or not, but I'm hoping it comes earlier this year.

ETA: just double checked the old thread again. I have no life.

Anyone who went under review around 10/24 still haven't heard? Do you guys think I should email?
