If I were you, I'd submit sooner rather than later with those stats. Most scholarship offers aren't made until February, so they would have your new score before they would make those decisions.

+1, especially since you're already above 75th LSAT. Time is of the essence.

Bad sign if my app has been under review for almost 3 weeks?

I'm past two weeks, too. Possible the cycle has just slowed down a bit. But I also didn't write a Why UVA and don't have a strong connection to the area, so I knew waitlist/ding was a possibility. I'm over both 75ths by quite a bit, so I guess I could cry YP, but maybe they just don't think it's the right fit.

Or maybe it's way too early to draw any conclusions and I just need to be patient.

Probably the last thing.

I'm in the same boat, above both 75ths but no Why UVA, been under review for more than two months now. My money is on that YP

Do it the first time and the last time and then abbreviate the rest! I found several places on their website where they refer to it as UVA - therefore I think its totally okay

I'm over 75th on LSAT and between 25th and 50th on GPA...also didn't do a "why UVA" essay (not my best decision). Don't think I'm YP material...hoping for the best, but expecting a WL or a ding.

I am VERY iffy numbers. I'm hoping for a miracle.

I called it the University of Virginia one time and UVA thereafter.
