You're right below the LSAT median and right at the GPA median for last year, so I'd go ahead and apply if I were you. It never hurts to try IMO.

Yeah I solicited a fee waiver so I figured why not.

you mind me asking what your numbers were? I think we're similar in that regard and just wondering.

Current student here. Even if you get in, you won't get much $$$. Do you plan on retaking? IMHO BC is NOT worth sticker, or anything close to it!

Im absolutely retaking in February, there's a reason for that as Im applying for some undergrad fellowships so I'll have something to do for a year too, plus I think BC takes that LSAT for this cycle too.

Has anyone/has anyone considered sending an email asking for a fast track application? (Similarly to asking for a fee waiver?)

My application is being reviewed... WISH ME LUCK :X

How long after being reviewed until you heard a decision? I went under review 10/24.

It probably just depends where your numbers fall in relation to the medians. I don't think I've seen any decisions other than the "fast track" option so far.

Edited to also say Good Luck!!

I received an email today saying they've reviewed my file but are holding it until my fall grades come out... guess I can stop checking the status checker every day.

I'd almost welcome this, I've been "Under Review" since the 10th. I just want to hear something!

Checking in. I applied regular decision on 10/4. Went into review 10/6 and received my acceptance via email on 10/23.

I applied via Fast Track on the 24th, but still haven't received an email that they have even gotten my application... should I get in contact with the admissions department, or do they usually take a few days before sending out an email?

They didn't send me any status checker or contact me at all until my admission decision so don't worry about it. You'll hear soon! Good Luck!
