Is there any way to know that your app is "under review" or does it just switch from application complete to the decision?

[ebl1014]

Any guesses on when they'll do the next batch? Closest guesser wins....... a lot of luck

[haleydee]

how long did it take you guys to get the status checker emailed to you? applied on 10/31 and trying to see if I ever got it or just deleted the email...

I applied on Monday and I got status checker through email next day. I went complete the same day.

Same here

Is it normal at Fordham to apply and go complete immediately? I applied last night and was already complete when I logged on to the status checker.

I think so. They seem to have a very efficient system of sorting out applicants.

Thank you!

Anyone hear of any decisions going out today? Fridays seem to have been pretty popular so far.

[peaches2132]

I was looking at LSN and it kind of looks like it's the 1st and 15th of each month, give or take.

[brupe]

Has anybody heard anything yet?

nope, but checking obsessively today. when did you apply/go complete?

[brupe]

Applied and went complete on 11/3/2010. I know it's ridick to think I'd get a decision this fast, but hey, I'm a dreamer. I'm also a dreamer even thinking I'll be considered...My LSAT was not desirable.

I've heard anecdotally that Fordham takes forever.

Great, that's SO exciting. I LOVE waiting. I won't get in anyway, 151 retake and a 3.7 w/ one year work experience in a law firm. That 151 is killing me.

What firm? Can you get that 151 up? It's a killer man

[brupe]

Mears Law firm in Iowa City. I probably could...but i have a 146 and 151 as of now. Even if I get another 5 points will that really help? I already have 5 apps in and complete so I'm afraid they won't even wait for a Dec LSAT score. And I'm not sure I want to put myself through that again, its so brutal.

Cool well good luck to you. Apply to some lower-tier schools too, if you haven't already. Unfortunately Fordham is probably a reach. If you want to be in NYC, what about NYLS??

[brupe]

Yeah, I'm a paralegal here. It's been great experience. That a good school? My biggest reach school is UIowa, which is actually the one I have the best chance getting into b/c I got my undergrad degree here and have recs from profs here. Fordham's my second reach, my better schools are Marquette, Miami, Tulane, Washington and Lee, and American. I can't get rejected from everywhere right?

Apply to NYLaw. I get that you're going for one type of program, but open your options. Chances are the contacts you can make in NY are a lot better for your career than a class or two in that kind of law elsewhere.

Anybody heard anything?

[ebl1014]

My guess is that no one will hear anything til Thursday or Friday of this week at least. I am no expert and don't have a crystal ball, but they have been releasing decisions towards the end of the work week so far this cycle.

Why do we think it'll be this week?

I saw it in my crystal ball that I keep on a cement pillar in my front yard

[ebl1014]

Actually, I have no idea why I think it will be this week. Except... it did say I would probably receive a decision within 6-8 weeks of being complete. I went complete 8 weeks ago on Wednesday. Also, it seems from the graphs http://www.top-law-schools.com/images/d ... ordham.jpg that this week should have some action. Those are my only reasons.... but given the circumstances I think it's a good guess.
