So my application is "being reviewed" with no date change since 11/3 but sometime in the last few weeks under the "fees" section, a "first" and "second" deposit showed up, both with $0.00 as the amount. Has this happened to anyone else? Boston College has the most screwy status checker...

Mine has been "being reviewed" since 11/13, and I have the deposit 0's as well. I dont think it really means anything at this point. At the least its not bad news.

I spoke with someone at the admissions office who said applications that went complete on 12/1 are considered for the fast track option. According the the person I spoke with, we should have a decision by Friday!

Has anyone gotten any type of communication after acceptances? I got my packet like two months ago, but after that I haven't heard a peep.

Has anyone been deferred from fast track to RD? I'm above both medians and don't think this can be good, which sucks because BC is like a top choice of mine

I got an email today from admissions asking for an addendum explaining the difference in my LSAT scores. I scored 11 pts higher on my second LSAT, which means my first one sucked lol, but it's still kind of irritating that they need an explanation for an improvement. Has this happened to anyone else?

I applied with fast track and my status checker doesn't say anything about it, so I don't think so.

I have been 3/3 for Jesuit law schools so far. Here's to hoping BC makes it 4/4! (BC is a big step up from the other 3...)

My second lsat was 10 points higher than my first and BC didn't ask me for an addendum (admitted last month). I don't think that it could be a bad sign though, good luck!

When that showed up on my William and Mary status checker the next day I got my acceptance email. I have the same thing now showing first and second deposit received for BC

I hope you aren't picking law schools based on whether they are private Christian schools...

Of course I'm not! It just happens to be a coincidence.

My status checker just changed as of today.

I don't have a status or a date anymore and the message up at the top has changed.

Anyone receive a change similar to this?
