Me as well.

Anyone know how long it usually takes between final review and a decision?
Anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks. If we switch to decision finalized within the next few hours, I'm gonna start getting excited. Acceptance waves typically happen super fast.
Whelp...looks like these next few hours are NOT going to be productive ones...

For purposes of documenting this hopefully amazing day, can everyone who just went into FR share some info about themselves? I'm a URM, female, K-JD, low lsat, above median GPA, and was last UR2 as of 2/27.

And does anyone know what the chances are looking like since 110 students deposited? Is that good, bad, or neutral for those of us waiting?

I think that's quite a lot of deposits considering their deposit deadline has not even passed yet. But I don't know how that compares to other years.

I think up to 24 hours via email, if it's an acceptance. At least, that's what past patterns have shown.

Seems like a few hours. I've seen some people get their emails around 5:30pm, others closer to 9pm

I don't know any history of how many they had in the past but it sounds like a big number more than two weeks before deposit day.

From what I've seen, they come in a separate email.

Any movement for others who went FR today? I've been at FR for at least 4.5 hours now.

They gave a 2,000 early deposit incentive. I think that's why.

I wouldn't think that's a bad thing. They must at least still be considering you. If it was a ding, they'd just ding you, if that makes sense. I'm positive that they've been waiting to gauge their numbers before accepting more students to curve the yield in their favor.
