I wouldn't worry. I applied December 6 and just got accepted yesterday.

I've been in review since 1/21, and my status date keeps changing as well. It most recently says 2/19. Is this a good sign?

Been under review since 1/21. Anyone have any idea how long this typically takes to make a decision? Or how long did it take for those already admitted?

Hi all,

I was admitted to UAlabama Law last week and was offered the $25,000/ year conditional scholarship (well, conditional for the last two years, anyway). I'm wondering what success other admitted students have had in negotiations. I'd really like to attend Bama, but I'm broke and even this scholarship probably won't cut it.

Does anyone have any idea when those with the "Pending Final Committee Decision" will receive any sort of news??? I'm beyond disappointed considering my application was complete back in September and I have not heard a single word from Alabama. It's frustrating because going into this cycle Alabama was my top choice and, after complete silence on their end, it has quickly fallen down my list. Even a rejection (or a waitlist which would have served the same purpose of holding off a final decision) would have been much better than no decision at all.

Same. Was wondering if anyone moved from "Pending Final Committee Decision" to a different status already.

Does anyone know if Alabama does an Admitted Students Weekend, if so what the dates are?

Recently went complete so haven't heard anything for sure yet, but wanting to do a visit soon and wondering if I should hold off for an official weekend. Thanks!

Today (03/12/15) my status changed from under review to pending final committee decision. Anyone know how long this typically takes for a decision to be reached?

Hopefully it's good news. I'm also hopeful that being under review for such a long period means that we are likely not going to be declined.

Adding my name to the long list pending final decision. Hopefully this isn't similar to NW's held status.

Pending final committee decision as of yesterday. Given that there haven't been any rejections yet (via LSN), could easily mean bad news.

For those who were in via phone call, was your scholarship info given to you on the phone? The dean only told me I was in and that they would fly me out and pay for a hotel to visit the school, but nothing about a scholarship. She only said something along the lines of "you are still being considered for scholarships." Has anyone not been given a scholarship number on the phone, but still been offered a scholarship?

I just got my UPS box. But no scholarship information. How does it come? Email? And how soon? Apologies, as I'm sure this has been asked.

First, congrats!!

I received my scholarship info at the time of my acceptance phone call, as I know others on here did, too. I believe in past years, however, that there has been a delay between the acceptance call & scholarship call, perhaps as the end of the cycle neared.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
