I would say yes. People got Fast Track invitations with those numbers earlier this year. Go for it, by all means.

What? BC median is 162... Your LSAT is above the median and GPA is above 75th. Something doesn't seem right. Perhaps you wrote Boston University instead of College on your PS? :shock:

I would not be too discouraged. Your numbers are strong. I think they will eventually admit you. The slight increase in applications this year might be causing schools to wait until later down the line.

Or maybe C&F issues? Because that definitely seems odd. I too would think you would certainly be admitted. Don't worry though. I'm sure you'll get it!! :)

Did you confirm your interest in staying on the wait list through that link provided in the email? I did but never received any type of confirmation. Also, what does your status date and current status say on your application status check? Mine is completely blank.

Yes, I did confirm my interest, but, like you, never received any confirmation email afterward.

My Current Status and Application Status are both blank as well.

I am also in via e-mail. Applied on January 8th so a pretty quick turn around. Email said financial aide would be going out in February and continue throughout Spring. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Anyone else applied for the Public Interest Law scholarship? I wonder if that information will come at the same time as normal merit aid or not.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
Just kidding ... it's still FREE!
