Trying to decide if I should take it as a sign not to apply.

RD, I went complete 10/24, UCR1 11/21. LSAT median and GPA between 25-50

edit - do we know if the what to expect thread is still accurate? It says a quick turnaround from ucr2 to RD acceptance....if that is true my whole month would be made lol trying to focus on work now :shock:

There appears to be a fast turnover from UR 2 to RD acceptance.

what does "fast" mean though? an hr? a day? a week?

The only implication this has is that going UCR2 doesnt automatically mean that you will be accepted. We don't know if he went UCR2 in March or April, which could make a huge difference too.

In other words people, take this with a grain of salt.
He went UCR2 in 11/30, as stated above. I said "at least one guy" to show that UCR2 doesn't automatically mean acceptance. I just checked because I wasn't sure and I'm sure others had the same Q. I was getting my hopes up but now my expectations are managed :)
