Damn, I can't compete with that picture. *sigh*
No, I'm not ED, (although Dean Pless, if you see my application on your desk, please know that I'm ED at heart!)... I hope this doesn't mean anything bad...

Those are judges... (I felt the need to try)

Decisions will be coming out today in a few minutes. This first batch is only about 100 decisions. My plan right now is for the next batch of decisions to come out on December 11th and I hope to have at least 200 additional decisions at that time.
Good luck!

Are all those who will be in that 2nd batch already under review?

No. I just asked for the next 100 files to be assigned to me. Once that happens your status checker should show "in review". All those that showed "in review" before today should be in this batch of 98.

One more question, do you know what complete date you guys are on now (for this next 100)? Just curious as to how long the wait will be. Thanks for taking questions again! Good luck with the reading!

I was wondering how decisions are given out? Via status checker or is it in the mail or phone call. If anyone else can tell me, I would appreciate it. My status checker still says review pending, but I applied on the first of November, and my status checker has not changed (saying File Complete, Review Pending) since 11/13. If anyone could let me know what this all means, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Review Pending just means you are complete. In review means you will be in the next batch. All decisions will be via email first, and the status checker will update within an hour of the email going out. The next batch of files are files that completed up to the first week of October. It takes a while to get caught up, since I don't start reading until November and people have been applying since September 1.

Pumped even though I'm still only pending.
It's funny to contrast this thread with certain other threads that are basically dozens of pages of hair-pulling and crazy theories in the absence of any concrete communication from the school.

I predict that more deans will be doing this in the future. It seems to be a great way to connect with potential applicants and to market one's law school. I had not originally considered Illinois until I discovered this thread and learned about all of the great benefits it provides.
Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.

Thank you for the clarification Dean Pless. All these terms really throw me off sometimes as they seem like they can mean almost anything.

Thanks for the transparency Dean Pless. It really helps to know how/when decisions are made and what status checker changes mean.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
