I just checked my status and it said admitted. yay! I am oos FWIW.

Congrats! I e-stalked your stats, did you have any awesome softs or anything? I'm very close to you numbers wise so its always good to see splitters get in.

I think they are solid. 2.5 yrs public service in the legal field and I started a non-profit.

you give me tons of hope. thank you sir, even if I eventually get rejected, your 3.0 and 166 gave my 2.9 and 167 a great moment of hope.

I'm in the splitter boat as well. 2.93 and a 169.

I've got great softs though... unique job, started a non-profit, executive at another non-profit, worked for a law firm.

Did it just change today or did you find out a couple of days ago?

"Your application has been reviewed and is being held for further review."

I guess this means I got WL'ed?

Nope, they would tell you if you were wait-listed. It just means you probably have another month or two of waiting for a decision.

Congrats - I wish I was in your shoes. Still waiting anxiously. Do you mind sharing when you applied and whether or not you are a Georgia resident?

I got this too. GPA > median, LSAT > 75th

Question:

My LSAC report was sent on 12/2 and I have yet to receive any confirmation from the UGA staff. How long did it take you folks to receive some correspondence and/or status checker stuff?

Thanks.

A little over a week for me.

From LSN, it looks like UGA is srsly trying to up their medians. They're staying around 166-167 for non-URMs

Yikes. Do you think I should email them in case there are any issues with my app?

Well then they shouldn't hold my app. I'd gladly help raise it...

You actually sign up for the status checker on their website. Maybe that will give you some information?

[pokerlaw]

I got an e-mail inviting me to register for the status checker.

[JenDarby]

I signed up for the status checker a week or so after submitting, and got an email about twenty minutes later...

I noticed the same thing...

Will it really be possible for them to maintain this level of acceptances though??

Im pretty sure their 75th percentile LSAT is a 165.

Based on last year, almost everyone with a LSAT>164 was in great shape for admission...I cant imagine that they could move that threshold up more than 1 point in a single cycle.

(Full disclosure: I am a UGA grad w/ a 165..and im getting pretty freaked out by how differently the admissions office has handled acceptances thus far)

[Kchuck]

Those that have received their acceptance letter, did you get any scholarship info?

Received my acceptance letter by mail today. Out of state, 3.38/171. They told me what my tuition would be. Does this mean that I won't be getting any merit dough? Has anybody received scholarship information?

It's my understanding that UGA does not give out scholarship info until February/March

Uga's 75th was 166 last year. I think that they will easily get the 165 median this year. The only way I see 166 median being remotely possible is if they have a class of around 200-210 students instead of the 250 they have this year

Scholarship info didn't come out until later on last year. Don't automatically think you're not getting any money.
