Doesn't seem like the ur2 -> decision turnaround is quite that fast
Nah--what I meant is that I still haven't gone UR2. Complete 1/6 UR1 1/26

Submitted on the 7th, complete on the 22nd, UR1 on the 26th, UR2 on the 9th. LSAT = Median, GPA > 75th.

Good luck to everyone!
Mine went to VM too. At first I was bummed because I couldn't say how happy I was, but then I realized I could listen to it again and again.

In! I may or may not be crying a little because I'm so happy. Above one 75th, wrote a Why Penn, and had a Penn law grad do one of my rec letters.

Waitlist today. Not surprising considering my splitter stats, but I live in philly and Penn was my #1 choice so I'm disappointed to say the least. Will definitely be riding this one out.

Looks like #DecisionThursday is over. Congratulations to all of the admits! Condolences to all those WLd and best wishes on being successful if you plan on waiting it out. It looks like the WLs today were predominantly YP, which means you have incredible options elsewhere.

Congrats!! I would have one crazy waiting over two months! I would say we're seeing a high cat-to-admission correlation today, but it may just be because everyone has cat-vatars haha
