Oh, it's fine. It just makes decisions more complicated, that's all. Sometimes I wish I was doing this when I was younger and unfettered, but if I'd gone to law school right out of college, it would have been a complete and utter disaster!

Still sitting at Application Complete 12/29, but I'll be watching this thread with interest. Best of luck to all those waiting for phone calls today.

My guess.... 2 pm eastern the calls start

Good luck to everyone! I have the feeling that I will be getting an email instead of a phone call, but it will be nice to have this over with.

A good guess. Right after lunchtime for them and that's about when they started last time, right?

I believe they actually started around 1 last time. I think I was one of the first people to be called and I got the call at 11 pacific time.

EDIT: Jsut checked my phone and the call came at 11:09am Pacific Time

You are right. I didnt realize I specified 2 eastern in my post. I was smarter than I thought

Remember this when you are in law school. .

i'm a little late to this thread as i have been a little preoccupied with Mich and Berkeley... can someone give me the quick update? If my status checker just changed to "Application Under Review 2/4/10" can I expect a decision today? Thanks all... good luck to everyone!

Today PM or early next week. Call for Admits, Emails for everything else.

Thanks! Crossing my fingers...

So whats the consensus here? Will ALL 2/4 updates get decisions today or next week? What about borderline candidates or URMs? Don't schools usually like to hold on to their apps a bit longer?

I have no horse in this race since my status checker hasn't updated in two months, but best of luck to everyone who is expecting a decision today!

I'm stalking this thread across the street through the blinds of my waitlist house. I hope there's lots of good news in here today!

This was a nice analogy.

On second thought, GobiasIndustries was a nice one as well.

GobiasIndustries' analogy is more along the lines of what I will really be doing than mine is.

T-1 Hour for calls to start...

T-1 Hour for calls to start...

What makes you so sure? Have they typically made calls at 2PM?

Yes and they said Friday PM and since they're central time and people usually take 12-1 as lunch, the soonest is probably 1CT, meaning one hour from now!

All conjecture, but I'm nervous since I'm an October complete and have gone two (or three) acceptance cycles without any decision!!

What does it mean if your status updates again today??? Waitlist?

I think someone said before that on the day that the decisions are released, the status checker changes to today's date moments (maybe hour(s)) before a subsequent change to a waitlist and an e-mail notifying people of a waitlist.

From what I remember, people who were accepted didn't have their status checker changed immediately or on the same day.

It could also be that they just looked at your file again today.
