In at Tennessee 2010 Forum

[keg411]

Okay Tennessee, you can finally review my application now that my Feb. LSAT is in. Hope you like it .

This is a good thread- congrats to all the people that have gotten accepted.

I am way late to the game, as I didn't decide on going for Law School until January, but my file was just completed on 3/1.

What do yall think my chances are being late? 3.3/164/Out of State/ 1.5 years work experience

Any shot at scholarship money? My wife will be able to get a job in Knoxville, so I should get in-state...

I think your chances are fairly decent, even though it's really late in the cycle. I think your work experience will also help.

Are you referring to the chances of admission or scholarship?

Admission. I think scholarship is going to be tough. I spoke with admissions and they told me they will probably not be making more offers at this point until people withdraw/decide not to attend and leave behind their scholarship money. :/

Yea, I hear you, I guess I figured that. So, if we have to have our answer in by April 15th, is there technically a chance that after we accept we get scholarship money? I can't see that happening. I guess people withdraw before that, obviously.

I think you have a great chance of admission, and of course your work experience will help too. UT does scholarships in waves. The first wave went out in January/Feburary and you had to reconfirm your interest by 2/26. My guess is that there may be one more small wave of scholarships between now and early April. Admitted candidates have to respond in writing to UT by 4/1 and put a seat deposit down by 5/3, so if you're going to get scholarship money, it will probably be somewhere around one of those two days.

And having a spouse with a job in Tennessee will qualify you for in-state tuition (and will thus probably knock your scholarship down a little bit).

Great insight, thank you Jeep.

They still don't have my new LSAT. Hurry up, LSAC .

[thekingiv]

So how long is it usually after our status goes to "Review" that we get a decision? 2 weeks?

[Stryka]

I sent my application i believe on 2/1 and they received it on 2/3 and it went complete on 2/4...I sent an addendum, but it's been on review for a while. i was surprised how fast it went under review. It just says "Review"

I don't know. I'm not "in review"... I'm "hold for test score". It seems like they are being sent because I'm complete at another school that this was done for... bleh.

[boadicea]

Review date of 10/05/2009. Still there.

whow, did you call to see what's up?

[Thunder Jones]

I've been "In Review" since 1/15 and I'm thinking about calling. Has anyone called lately? Is it worth calling?

[SpencerPratt]

review since 10/22

[movieguru873]

in review since 11/04. I'm getting pretty upset. I thought that I would have at least heard something by now. I've got a scholarship at LSU, and the only place I'm waiting on right now is UTK. If I'm waitlisted, I wish they would at least tell me

[boadicea]

I really don't like calling to check application status. Their website says most decisions are made by "mid-march."

I'm sitting at around the median for LSAT, and just under 25% for gpa. I'm predicting a waitlist. Really hoping it's not going to be a last minute rejection.

[sweet02215]

It's insane that you guys have been in review for so long. I went complete around Feb. 9th and had a decision around the 19th. You should definitely call and ask what the hold up is!

Ditto, I have been in review since early December. Has anyone tried calling? does this expedite the process?

Mine has only been almost a month now since it went complete, but it went complete a day after they said they received, it...or excuse me, the word "review" popped up. So how did it take you so short to get a reply? You must have good stats.

I've been in review since the first week of Dec. and the status checker hasn't changed one bit since that date.

I called a few weeks ago and was pretty much told: There are many people that have been waiting for months. You haven't been lost or forgotten, a decision is coming. If your status checker requirement list goes blank then you can expect a decision has been made or will be made shortly.

Hmm that's informative. Anyone have any experience on the timespan between admissions requirement disappearing and getting a decision?

Also, i could backtrack, but, how are decisions delivered, mail, email, status checker, call?

[sweet02215]

I didn't even know I was in until I called them to get a status update because they ever sent me a status checker link to a functional email address. Also, they didn't have my telephone number, which is odd, so they couldn't contact me. You'll never know what the hold up is until you call

[Thunder Jones]

Called today. They basically said that if you are "In Review" then they've got everything they need. She double checked and I'm just in the stack so.....
