just guessing but I expect a tweet to say they are out

[ArchRoark]

The tweet said that all of the decision letter would be available via status check aft 5.... Did you guys check the status checker?

That is what my email said back in Dec when I was accepted and th letters wasn't posted on my status checker till the next day.

Same! I submitted in October and was complete then as well. I called and they said up to 12 weeks but let me know if you get a different answer please!!!

We are all so played.

one more batch coming any minute now, don't do anything else while you're waiting

[mybrain]

It's over 6 pm Chicago time. Should I stop staring at my inbox?

How can it be 10 weeks plus? The count starts on Dec. 1st, and I imagine the time they were closed for the break doesn't count towards the 8 weeks.

The absolute most anyone can be at is 9 weeks (with this being the 9th week).

This is how I picture Johann on every Friday:

if you have difficulty downloading, there's nothing we can do on weekend (no access to servers off-site). please call on Monday.

The waiting period starts at December 1 if you submitted it earlier than that. So far, it's been about nine weeks. If you completed an app after Dec. 1, start counting from that date.

Yeah you're right technically next Wednesday is week 10. I've been counting via each work week so starting on Mondays.

Need to get some decisions out. Short staffed today, so this may take a while. Looking at mid-late afternoon.

OK, I've officially stopped working today, in order to check my email every thirty seconds. Please don't be trolling me again, Johann.

[FutureInLaw]

Just got my email. Can't view the document until 6pm EST! AH!

[swimmergirl1303]

got the email. i assume its a rejection since it didnt say congrats in the email

[speedyj88]

Just received a decision. Can't retrieve the PDF until after 5pm CST so I've got another 40 minutes to wait. I'm pretty sure it's either a Ding/WL/Hold because there's no congratulatory language the the email.

[FutureInLaw]

Oh shoot. Do acceptances say "Congrats" in the email? Dang.

All decision notifications are out. Looking at more decisions later in the week.

[whathojeeves]

Oh shoot. Do acceptances say "Congrats" in the email? Dang.

If you guys are checking on the status check site, that email prompting you to check it says nothing great, just "Northwestern Law - Application Status" in the subject. There is also a "congrats" email (that weirdly I got BEFORE the status check one), but a lot of people got that later on.
