I bet they'll be accepting people soon. I doubt they'd tweet out decision friday and hype it and then just have a bloodbath

Edit: Also, they tend to have mixed decision days from what Nick posted
Hoping you're right, Indy, but so far it ain't looking pretty.

WL'ed, but not surprised. LSAT<25th percentile and GPA=50th percentile. Not URM.
Going to wait this out, but kind of already packing my bags for Boalt (woops).

Do dings/WLs typically take longer to go out than acceptances?

Same UR2 as Indy but much less impressive stats. Thinking the silence doesn't bode too well for me.

I'm right around median GPA and above 75th LSAT. Same UR2 and still silence. Maybe it's a bad sign, but since the majority of action this morning has been ding/WL, no news may be good news.

dinged 25<GPA<50, LSAT=75

Was hoping to at least get waitlisted. But my shiny new lsat score came a day after I went UR 3/2. I feel like they had made their decision and decided not to deviate from it.

In today!!! I was so sad all day because I got pickpocketed and my phone was stolen, but getting the email just made my shitty day a thousand times better. Above both 75ths, but I applied and went UR2 with an LSAT under median, so not sure which one was used for the decision. Super happy!

Damn, sorry to hear about being pickpocketed. Congrats on the acceptance though!

Congrats to the recent admits! For everyone here, How long does it take for the status to change from "application received and processing" to "complete"? Thanks in advance :D :D

I wouldn't worry about it. Assuming I didn't make a glaring error on my PS, I assume the reject just had to do with the fact that my LSAT score came too late. My previous one was below their median.

Congrats everyone

Anecdotally, I know a handful of people who have gotten in off the waitlist

Obviously not trying to give false hope, but it certainly does happen
