To those of you who have had their admissions confirmed, does the status checker show something for today's date under "Mailings"? I had one pop up that's dated for today, but the description is blank. I'm hoping that maybe it's some scholarship info being mailed, but it could just be some sort of mass mailing to admitted students as well.

Yes. And I already have my scholly info.

It's probably the email reminder they sent about the supplemental admission info

As expected. Thanks for the info though.

So I had a friend convince to just write the academic statement for UF (ended up thinking it was pretty awesome) and apply even this late in the game.

I had a fee waiver from them and didn't even know it! Now I am kind of excited at the possibility of UF, but should I be? What are the chances of getting in if I applied today?

Not too sure how likely but I am in the same boat. I applied on 3/3 and went complete on 3/7. I'll update as I hear from them to give you a better idea.
3.0/163.

3.0/163. Honestly, I am not too hopeful this late in the cycle but I didn't take the LSAT until February. UF is my first choice with FSU as a close second so I figured I would apply this cycle then just retake the LSAT and reapply for next cycle early on if it doesn't work out.

My best friend here applied in March and he got in with a 3.0 and a 162. With a 163, you should be a lock. It took him 2 weeks to get admitted.

If you have the numbers you will get in.

I hope so. I don't mind having another year in between but I would rather start this fall. I'm taking a tour this Tuesday and will be constantly refreshing the status page until then.

Anyone else get the email telling you to complete the supplimental application? I could've sworn that I did this already. Now I have to waste my time calling and asking them if I did it Because it doesn't show if you paid or not.

How long did it take everyone's application to go into Initial Review after all application materials were received? I retook the LSAT in February so I didn't apply until early last week and I haven't gone under review yet :/

Just found out about scholarship money 19k a year! What's the chances of me being able to negotiate for more money for living expenses?

It was almost immediately for me and I applied in January, however it took about a month for it to go into Comp Review!

Not sure. I have been at application complete since last Saturday the 7th. Submitted the 3rd.

I've been under initial review for almost a month now. My status hasn't changed from "under initial review by the committee" since 2/25/15. I'm starting to worry this means I'm not getting accepted, considering that everyone else has already received letters or their status has been changing.

Anyone else in the same boat or had a similar experience?

Im starting to drive myself crazy over this.
