I got my letter today and it said the form had to get there by the 30th.

I'm celebrating my 4 months with USC tonight at Spago.
My five-month anniversary was yesterday. But honestly, this long-distance thing is just not working out. Too many temptations out there for both of us. We may not make it to April.
Soon to be 5 months for me too. Do we all have 166 LSATs?

Yup 166 here with a mediocre at best 3.5 gpa

Ha ha, they must just be rejecting me in the harshest way they could figure out. In big, bold type my letter says:

If you would like to accept a place on the waiting list, you must complete the enclosed form and return it by March 23, 2010. (THIS IS NOT A POSTMARK DATE).

Maybe they're bitter that I was accepted at UCLA.

Why are we so neglected?! I bet they'll fill their incoming class before they even look at my app

Not me.

Below 25% LSAT, above 75% GPA.

I'm complete 1/21. Emailed and they said to wait, basically. (submitted weeks before that)

you may as well stay in the running. doesn't hurt you any, and oftentimes when people withdraw they end up with decisions anyway...

Have we come to the conclusion that LOCIs sent while you're still under review aren't really looked at?

no they should really be added to your file...

Hm.. an additional letter of rec I sent got there after I was put into review and it showed up on my USC status checker page..

And, they waitlist via status checker.
That's just what the admissions office told me. It's possible the recieved it, put it on the status checker page to show they received it, and only added it to your official file once it was back "up front", if you will. Or the lady that told me this was misinformed, or it only applies to LOCIs...

I'm still stuck at Complete back in January. Ridiculous, as I wasn't 'complete' with them until 3 weeks after they had all my stuff.

Fair enough - I'm at their median for GPA, but below for LSAT, and a URM (which is making my cycle long and slow).

20K/year in the mail! It's going to be tough to decide between USC and UT.

mid january. and i'm 167/3/7. Kinda surprised. I thought I was pretty borderline, but it's hard to tell when the 50 and 75th percentiles are the same.
