Ok, well it's good to know I'm not alone. I was getting paranoid.

Good luck everyone!

You may have a hidden waiver. Mine was hidden.

Unfortunately not. Oh well, definitely worth the $100

I had a waiver, but I have a feeling it was carried over from a previous cycle. If you're willing to wait, you'll probably get one.

Yeah, I don't think there's a rush. Chicago isn't even requesting reports yet from LSAC.

I waited and got one around November just to let you know. Chicago took their time last year. Don't worry guys - you are still very early in the cycle.

Agreed. I applied in January and got in February.

I wouldn't worry if your app isn't in yet.

I was reading the app instructions and saw that they require you to write how many hours per week for each entry on your resume. Do other schools require this?

It's often a good idea because it can show how much you worked in addition to your school work which can let them get a better picture of your total workload.

I'm using the same resume for every school and they all have my # of hours.

Assuming if we don't put this on for post-college jobs its no big deal? They will just be assumed to be full time?

Looks like we're waiting until at least January. I'd hate to be that one guy who was rejected in September.

Too bad Obama is going to teach at Columbia and not Chicago :/

Wow! I just looked this up after you mentioned it. That would be really interesting if he did decide to go teach at Columbia.

I submitted my application on 9/1 and I got my status checker email, but Chicago still hasn't acknowledged receipt of my CAS report. Anyone else having the same issue?

Meaning it hasn't transmitted from LSAC yet? Does it say the application "needs your attention"?

No, just that on the Chicago status checker it says everything is received except for the CAS report. Everything is sent and completed on LSAC's end.

Nevermind -- just got the Completed email from Chicago! Now we wait for four months...

So the status checker says that my application is under review....

Am I going to be the September ding?
