Went blank. Considering I've only been in review for a week and my numbers aren't that great, I guess I'm expecting a ding from my own undergrad. Ouch.

[Mosca]

Still "In Review"...since 12/29!

Nope, not at all.

Status check went blank just now.

For those who got in, was there a "first deposit due" at the fee section?

no.

[uwb09]

[lifeaway1985]

Went blank today. Does that mean acception or just decision???

[aPosseAdEsse]

I got no mailing info. Just a blank status checker. We may be in the same batch.

WL received today.. USC looking great. Blank w/ mailings on 3/15 and 3/17. Northwest is my stomping grounds and they are just killing me.. 167 3.62 no $ from Lewis and Clark and WL UW.. UIUC w/ 25k and USC in ($ not yet reported) making my decision much easier.

Sounds like you applied to a lot of the same schools I did. I'm taking UIUC with $30K/yr.

Aghhh. I'm going out of town for a week on Sunday. No prob UW, just decide my future and let me know!

So jealous of you all you blanks. I'm trying to be patient, but at this point it seems just a little discourteous. Why do you have the earliest application deadline if you're not going to do any serious reviewing until March?

Actually, I submitted my application on 11/11.

[uwb09]

this is my theory regarding UW

they have the earliest deadline + they claim to not review any applications till after this deadline

SO, I think they take every single application they get, and they divide them into 3 groups

A - Auto Accept in relation to the group as a whole
B - Auto Reject in relation to the group as a whole
C - Undecided

then they take all those Undecided, and do the process all over again, but now the accept/reject standards are altered based on the new group as a whole

maybe as they get into the later rounds they work in a waitlist methodology also

[lifeaway1985]

It is my birthday today. I really hope the blank status checker means acceptance...

It's a reasonable theory, but if it's true, they should remove the language that says they review them in the order completed.

I'm just a little fed up. I was really, really hoping I'd get a signal by the end of this week, and now I'm guessing I won't hear anything until after their spring break. I'll be perfectly happy to end up in Boulder if I get rejected, but if that's what's coming, I wish they'd tell me so I can get on with it.

[uwb09]

well i literally applied an hour before the deadline, so if they are reviewing them in order received, they must almost be done

[HerseyChris]

Darn it, I was thinking the reason I'm not blank was because I applied on 1/15 just before noon, but I guess that's not it.

I'm pretty sure someone asked a member of the admissions committee about their admissions policies, and that is indeed how they do it.

[uwb09]

honestly, if i was running a law school, that's how I would do it

i'd just keep going until I've admitted the max amount that previously determined, then instead of admitting start waitlisting, until you pretty much just run out of applications

[crm]

Goodluck to everyone expecting letters!

still in review 03/05 here...fingers crossed!

me too only 3/6. I want to hear soon!!! hopefully it's good for us!

[funkylicks]

Blanked status checker. I really would love to get this, but my pen is poised to sign the check to L & C if it's a ding.

[the_rad_trad]

Also blank as of 3/19. Assuming a ding. Hoping otherwise.

congrats on UIUC great school.. they really know how to make you feel welcome too, w/ mailings and emails. I will most likely be a Trojan b/c west coast is preferred, but UIUC makes it a tough decision.
