Looks like reviews are ramping up a little faster.

Applied & Complete 1/14
Committee 1st Read 1/19

Good luck everyone!

Meanwhile I applied and went complete in November, still waiting for my Committee 1st Read

Bird law why does this keep happening to us?
How I feel about the length of Time since My 10/21 complete date:

Obviously we're both future Supreme Court Justices and everybody knows it except us. We're getting YP by everyone because they assume we're going to Harvard.

I haven't been able to find any info about ASW. Anyone know anything? I've never been to USC so I'd like to visit!

ASW = Admitted student weekend? The ASWebsite says that there's a USC Law Day on April 15th. The link for Law Day doesn't have any info but the link for Tour Days has the date + tour dates.

Yeah, thanks! I was hoping for a longer one since I'd have to fly all the way across the country, but it looks like just the one-day ones.

USC is my first choice at this point but it all depends on how much $ I can get in scholarships and financial aid... California is, unfortunately, so very expensive. I didn't get any scholarship info with my admittance letter- did anyone else receive financial information already?

There was actually a bit in my letter specifically stating financial aid wouldn't be starting until the end of January. Think we have a little longer to wait. :/ But I know how you feel, USC is one of my top choices.

Don't know if any else of you guys noticed, but on the latest Rothman reminder, David Kirschner's new title is "Interim Dean of Admissions."

When I was accepted in December, Chloe Reid was Dean of Admissions, now it's Kirschner.

I don't know what would make them change Admissions Deans in the peak of the cycle. Perhaps changes across the board coming in the wake of the larger change of the Dean of the Law School. Odd to me nonetheless.

Going off the Rothman reminder email... has anyone who received a Rothman invite been accepted yet? I got one but have had zero movement on my app since going complete 12/8 - do you think they're waiting to see if I apply? (I am applying)

I have been accepted and have received a Rothman invite, but haven't finished applying yet. FYI I applied 11/14 but went complete 11/30 (was waiting on a Dean letter for a minor C&F issue)

[gryffinclaw]

FINALLY under final review today. From what I've read on threads from previous years, it seems that decisions are finalized less than a week after you go under final review...can someone confirm that this is true? Thanks!

I've been complete since 11/4, and Jumbo2016 went complete in the middle of October. It's just a waiting game, no use in contacting them unless you have a resume update.

[Draconem]

There are several of us in this position. I went complete a month before you and just went UR 1 on 1/20. I wonder how they are indexing what applications to review first
