PT in on 12/3, no aid info yet, admitted students website still not up yet.

My numbers were 3.51/166, but I am an EXTREMELY non-traditional student and I am not sure how that has/will affect things regarding aid, etc.

Good luck to everyone else who is still in application limbo.

When were you UR?

[Stringer6]

Haha, I'm actually not being sarcastic, I know people who got into FT with GPAs way lower than that and comparable LSAT score. Besides - they had shitty/no softs and I read their PS statements - not amazing.

oops. sorry.

that's encouraging.

When were you UR?

I was UR in mid November, the 17th I think. However, when I checked on the 29th it had changed my UR date. My thinking is that my numbers were not high enough to get auto-admitted in the first round of acceptances following the very earliest applicants. I think I must have been pushed to the next round of review and acceptances, which seems like it came Friday night. Looking at LSN there seems to be plenty of room, especially for PT applicants, so try not to worry about it, yet. Easier said than done, I am sure.

neptunestar what are your numbers? Not that I have any good insights, and remember my softs/NT status may throw my application numbers in weird ways, so look at my acceptance and your waiting as anything meaningful (again, easier said than done, I know).

[neptunestar]

I personal messaged you, akcorps

[Lwoods]

to those who were just accepted, when did you go under review? I am wondering because I went under review on 11/30...

Originally 11/19, then the date changed to 11/22.

+1 but mine was originally 11/21 then to 11/22 and in FT via email and status has changed on the status checker to accepted!! congrats to everyone else who got in today!

Congrats! I think maybe they just didn't get to our apps by the time they sent acceptances on the 22nd, haha.

Went under review 12/3.... now to sit nervously and wait... I'm 164/3.82 so I doubt I'll get in but Im crossing my fingers.

With those numbers I would think you could sleep easy?

Being 2 points below LSAT median never made any non URMs sleep easy.

Point taken. Well, for what its worth, I like your chances. Gluck!!!

[IAMGenius]

In on 12/3!!!! I promise you my cycle is by far the luckiest URM cycle to date. In at two top 35 schools. Fordham and Alabama, and Alabama gave $$. I wonder if Fordham will make this decision hard for me...

[Stringer6]

wow.

[kastanie23]

Hi all... Applied 11.6 and UR 12.2 I'm hoping for a decision before Christmas.. Fordham is one of my top choices, but a wee bit nervous about my chances.

p.s does acceptance from other schools make you MORE nervous to hear from all of the schools you've applied to? I noticed since acceptance to one school I've been going crazy about the other schools.

Soo I’m a reverse splitter 164 (at 25th)/3.95 (way above 75th) …. Should I be breathing easy? Fordham is slowly becoming one of my top choices due to location. I’ve been complete since 11/30. How long does it generally take to get a decision?

Hard to say, seems they go in batches and anyone who applied before October 15 was early action and guaranteed a decision by December 15.

I received my acceptance 2 weeks after going in review, but as one of those weeks was Thanksgiving, I'd estimate within 1 business week after going in review.

gl!

Thanks! My numbers are okay for Fordham though, right? Obviously my GPA but I’m just nervous about being at the 25th LSAT =\

Wait for Part time? My brother had good WE, 3.9 and a 164 and was waitlisted for a while last year. He had to basically beg to get in. He made the awful mistake of going, but it was far from easy.

Lol yeah I know you hate Fordham, but whatever. Not PT...i'm going for FT. I have 3.95/164 with good WE and good softs. I wrote a why X essay too.

WTF? I went from Under Review starting 11/29 to Complete on 12/6! Any idea what this status reversal means? Are they just so disgusted with my application that they have stopped reviewing it but don't want to send me an acceptance/deferral/rejection letter?

Same thing just happened to me. IDK if this means they've decided? Or that we suck.

+1 though mine was UR starting 11/30 but just changed to complete 11/30, no date change.

Trying to stay hopeful...

[JennBNYC]

Ugh, I just went from Under Review 11/17 to Complete 11/17. Applied 3 months ago

[Gemini]

Me too! What in the world??

[username99]

Prob means decision, no?

[JennBNYC]

Prob means decision, no?

Then wouldn't they just put the decision? Who knowsssss. It's just weird to go from Complete to Under Review to Complete again. Sigh....

[CoastGuard3]

Yea mine too. though the date returned to an earlier completion date of mine.

are we getting an email tonight?
