FWIW, I had been under review since October, so your time is likely coming soon. Also, when I did a law school tour with a current 3L, he encouraged applicants to basically write any and every essay they have ever wanted to when applying to USC. BUT, I don't know how I feel about sending one after you've submitted your app. It would basically be a LOCI, and I don't know if that's necessary at this point. I'm curious as to what others think about this, though.

Anyone else went through two updates of UR2? Any implications?

Yeah, that was what I was worried about. I do not know if it was necessary, but I was wondering if it would help given that my application has not received any status updates at all since going complete almost 3 months ago.

Anyone know how long between UR2 and decision. I went Committee review 2 Monday, I'm the same today, but now there's a date change.

Looking here and at LSN there have not been many decision days (one in Jan so far?). Making a prediction between ur2 and decision would be pretty difficult. Has anyone moved into final committee review in the past few weeks?

What would the status be when it's in final review?
