They finally updated the chart. Test takers went up slightly in Dec
http://www.lsac.org/lsacresources/data/ ... ministered

This scared me, but the raw difference is only 222 more Dec takers than last year. Like others have said, not good news but also not bad news.

Yeah, for those who are aiming for T14's, thats statistically only about 6 or 7 more applicants with competitive LSAT scores. I don't think that's keeping anybody out of their dream school.

Not even though, since the number of test takers overall is down.

Yeah with June and September included it would be about 140 less 169+ scores than last year.

Has anyone received a fee waiver for any of CCN based on December 2014 scores? I'm not sure if I should be waiting for an email or should just suck it up and drop the $$ to apply.

Not I (didn't take in Dec.) but it appears that some people have. Check it out here: http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... start=1075

Thanks so much! I didn't realize there was a thread devoted entirely to this topic!

I'd say a bit neurotic... if 2 proofreaders missed them, maybe it's not too conspicuous? (or maybe they were not doing proper job proofreading)

Awe! Sorry about that! I know that is horrible to find out. I keep thinking I did the same thing too. It's almost like you can never get it perfect!!

Does anyone know the general habit of schools updating their status checkers? Asking because Michigan tweeted out that they update overnight. Are other schools consistent in this - i.e. if they will change on a day it is at a certain time?

It's frustrating but it depends on the school. Some schools (like Mich) are great in that it's always being updated. Others only have certain update dates (Penn, Chi), and others are pretty much useless after going complete (SLS)...

I totally don't get what's so great about Mich's SC? It just says complete, and the date. Pretty sure the date change is just done automatically every day.... What am I missing??

This. There are no date changes even so it essentially useless until a final decision is made

[pylon]

That's fair - I just like that whenever I check it, I know it's up-to-date, whereas other schools you don't really know if your application has changed since their last update. I also found out about my acceptance to Michigan through the status checker so maybe that's why I feel like it has use.

[pylon]

Good point, I didn't really think about that... I guess the constantly updating (automated) date changes are more psychological, but I still personally think it's better than others because so far it's the only status checker that has been of any use to me.

[2654815451]

Anyone get an email or phone call with decision without anything changing on the SC?

for...where?

Anywhere.. I'm just wondering if it happens in general. I'm the neurotic one who checks the SC constantly and am always sad when it hasn't changed. I was just wondering could I have an email or phone call without it having changed.

I also took comfort from knowing that I only had to check it once a day. For some reason I felt like I had more control over the process when I knew 1) that the status checker was up to date, and 2) I would definitely know the day (after) I received my decision.

None of this waiting for emails or letters or updates that happen randomly throughout the day.

I mean to be fair they are all awful.

Aha yup pretty much.

[2654815451]

Ah, okay.. thanks.


I got my bangs cut today during my lunch break because I was bored. I hope I don't look awkward and childish...
