Just got an email saying decisions are going to be delayed this year due to "an especially volatile year in law school admissions necessitating adjustments to our standard operating procedures."

Same

[ohioguy99]

Volatile usually means lots of sudden changes. I wonder if they got a lot more applications than usual lately?

That's what happened last year too.

Seems they're getting less.
"However, this year circumstances may dictate a longer and more thorough review for many of our applicants. Given the decline in applications nationally we are more carefully considering all applicant credentials and experiences in the context of a declining pool and more competitive market..."

So, word on the street is that there is still some scholly money for people who have to interview? I'm at one median, and at the 25 percentile of the other. Hoping on just a little bit of moneys

First thing I thought when I saw this post:

"Why is Sheldon always right?!"

[zippernicus]

Got this email too... so was this sent out to everyone who doesn't have a decision yet or just a certain group? I just went under review a few days ago and then get this. ARGH

[rduffy5]

I got this too and I've been in review since 12/12 and applied 10/30.

[10romeom]

I applied in mid november, been under review since mid december

Because I dislike turning left. BAZZINGA!

I wonder if this means they will be more generous with scholarship money. I applied in October, was accepted in December. Hadn't really considered Wake given another offer I have, but a decent scholarship might change my mind.

[hailcaesar34]

My guess is it's got sent to everyone who wasn't an auto admit or auto ding.

[rosebowlchamps100]

Did anybody who applied not get this email?

Me, but I'm an admit (which I assume you didn't mean by "anybody"). I'm hoping this means good news on the scholarship front...

Geez Wake, way to suck all the hope and excitement from the interview request. I feel like I am interviewing for a waitlist spot after reading that dire message.

I'm sorry Wake, I still love you. Please accept me.

[lsatnoob]

They probably want to keep the class size around 150 instead of 180 like last year...could be a reason for the delay in decisions and/or scholarship offers.

I got both of those emails as well. There's still hope!

Wake had a class of 179 last year (which is much higher than usual), so I expect the class to be much smaller this year regardless of the drop in applications nationwide.

I did my video interview this morning but naturally it messed up after I was doing so well! It skipped over the second question, and never started the timer for my last question so I assumed it wasn't recording - but it was -_-. I submitted a request to resubmit and I really hope it goes through! I felt so confident about my first half of the interview. Hopefully, I will hear back soon from WF and they will allow me to resubmit! Bummer it's a Saturday though!

How long is the whole process? And just standard questions I assume? And I bet they will let you resubmit, as far as admissions people go, WE seems very happy to help everyone!

Dealt with 10-15 admins last cycle, Wake was easily the best. Shouldn't be a problem.

That would be very frustrating, especially since it's just a 5min interview. I did my interview yesterday and it went pretty good I thought. I wish we had a little longer for each question though. Good luck!

[10romeom]

Well that was less than awesome. I had similar problems with mmine. The interface skipped over the middle two questions, I went directly from question 1 to question 4. Definitely submitting a request for a redo.
