Interviewed 3/11. Any ideas of how much time I should expect to pass before receiving a decision? Also, any ideas about whether or not there are Rubys still going out?

I'm interviewing the 22nd and I think there are slots all that week. It seems like Chicago likes to do huge waves, so we probably won't hear until the week of the 28th.

I can definitely get behind a 9 day turnaround (especially considering that my interview was 8 days ago!)

Just interviewed this morning.

The interviewer is an AA female and looks extremely uninterested. Asked me if she could take down notes at first, and then read from (seems to be) a list of questions without actually engaging in what I'm talking about, keep scribbling something on the paper without looking up.

Is it a bad sign or has anyone had similar experience?

Pretty sure that's just the M.O for the more job-type interviews of the law school admissions process. Similar to Columbia as well. Obviously they need to take notes because they're going to write a report on the interview, but as for not engaging, that doesn't tend to happen much in job interviews either and I think they do that so as to leave time to ask as many questions as possible. I wouldn't worry about it :)

I had the same interviewer I believe, and definitely had a similar vibe. I did get WL but so did 75% of people with my numbers so I don't think it was the interview. A lot of people reported similar types of interviews so I think that's just the way they do it.

Have a date change (I think this is just UR2-- complete/UR1 2/24) but no interview... so WL/ding likely around the corner. Any other non-interviewees seen a change in UR status?

Any Ruby recipients mind sharing their stats, work experience, and interview date?

+1, but there is a "UR 1.5" in which some people went UR twice before an interview, so there's still hope!

Any other last minute app submitters want to share your dates? UR on 2/10, UR2(or UR1.5) on 3/3

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
