Accepted! Applied 11/16, interviewed 11/19, accepted 12/2. LSAT >> 75%, GPA = median.

Current 1L here. Can take questions in between the whole studying for finals thing.

Do people have summer associate gigs lined up? How does the employment outlook look over there?

If you're asking about 1Ls, definitely not. You aren't allowed to apply most places until December 1st. If you're asking about 2Ls, I think their class is faring pretty well.

Hi all! Reverse splitter here with a couple of questions.

Does anyone have experience with a deferral to regular admissions from the early decision program? I applied early decision because I figured why not, but I knew I wouldn't get it as my LSAT score is low (3.92/163). However, I did want the committee to know that Wash U is my number 1 choice and if accepted, I'd put the deposit down that day, ha. I applied 11/16, interviewed on 11/30, received the deferral on 12/1. Anyone have experience with this and know when I should expect a decision by?

Unfortunately, my dad passed away this fall and I withdrew from the December test due to the obvious distraction there + lack of time to study due to family obligations. I plan to retake in February because I KNOW I can do better. My practice tests were much higher and I have never had an issue with doing well on standardized testing. If I get in with little to no money (which is what I am thinking will happen after my interview), is it common to retake the test after an acceptance to try to negotiate for more scholarship money?

Other tidbits of information: my interview went very well. She did ask about my LSAT score and I explained my dad's illness and subsequent passing, etc. along with the fact that due to those factors I believe my GPA and work experience are much better indicators of my potential as a law student and lawyer. She told me not to worry about it because my application was very strong. I also have several "softs" as I've heard them called: a personal connection to the law school, strong personal statement, and a very strong resume with a lot of experience in politics.

If anyone has any insights about my two questions I would be forever grateful!

I was deferred from ED too and got my acceptance a few hours after the deferral email

As a former teacher, let me say this: the only stupid question is the one to which you already have the answer.

You already had the answer in front of you, with minimal work. Not sass, just facts.

I saw the posts about scholarship offers in September/early October but also saw posts about going 4+ weeks without offers even with strong numbers. so no, i didn't think the answer was clear cut.

also as a former sass-master, let me say this: those comments were sassy

People get tired of answering the same questions over and over and over and over.....

Does the status checker ever go UR2? Been at UR since 11/14

It's weird to see so much movement on this thread, while my current status date indicates 9/20/2016. I literally applied in September and no movement. I've already gotten interviews at Columbia/ UChicago, and have gotten into UMichigan, Duke, and others.

I'm sitting at 10/4. feel you.

[Thomas Hagan, ESQ.]

Wait didn't someone here say before that WUSTL's status checker never changes to "UR" or even "Complete?"

I've been at "Application Documents Received" since 11/8...

I've been at "Application Documents Received" since 11/8...

Mine says "Application Under Review" since 11/14

And at the top of the checker, it says: "Your application has been sent to the Admissions Committee to be reviewed. There are several stages of review. Over time, you may notice that the current status date will change even though your current status does not. These changes are not associated with the Committee’s decision. It is the Admissions Office policy not to post final decisions on the status check page..."

[guynourmin]

Oh ok. Maybe it doesn't change then! But I've still gotten no communications from them, even though I applied in September.

Same. Seems like people are getting interview requests inside a week or two typically. My app has also been updated multiple times (LSAT, new LOR) and still nothing. strange.

Ohh mine says "Application Documents Received - 11/8" but on the top it says "We have received your required application documents. Your application is under review by our Admissions Committee..+ exactly what you said"

So should I consider myself UR? so confusing lol

Got in today! Application completed on 11/07, interviewed on 11/28, acceptance on 11/28, international student

Got scholarship info today, covering 3 years tuition.

[studyingeveryday]

I interviewed on 11/23 and nothing yet. should I be worried? I'm a reverse splitter

I interviewed the Thursday before last week and haven't received anything yet. Reverse splitter too.

Looks like we're going to have to wait a while maybe? I'm so sad.

Yes, but I remember my interviewer said the decision would be released in 2-3 weeks after the interview, so it's probably the end of this week or next week .

oh, they didn't say anything to me about that. have you gotten anything yet?

[studyingeveryday]

New poll similar to some of the other threads.

there should be an option for applied, interviewed, and still waiting haha.
