LOLZ @ Johann's latest tweet.

But, like, I thought they were done reviewing videos/hold people!

Honestly, at this point it seems so remedial of them. You're going to judge a bunch of wanna-be-lawyers on our wardrobe or video editing skills? How about looking at the content of the video instead of our fashion choices, or at our life accomplishments, or scores? The fact that our appearances are being judged - and possibly influencing our file, even if subconsciously, really pisses me off.

Wow forget it, we're never hearing back. They're clearly not "done". That one tweet staying that they were done was either misinterpreted or misstated. Regardless I can't tell if I'm feeling angry or totally defeated at this point but they're playing us real good.

I bet they're just laughing at us. Every tweet they make, they come back here to watch our reactions.

I called. They said they're having server issues with LSAC. They're going to try to send out decisions (did not indicate some or all) by the end of this week (there is only tomorrow left this week?) or next week. But he emphasized that he cannot guarantee either one. So.. There's that...

Can someone explain to me what LSAC has to do with them sending us an email decision?

Wow. Just wow.
The lack of urgency on their part tells us that we have been waitlisted.
We know it, they know it, we know that they know and so forth.

This is so jacked up.

I hope Johann updates via twitter because there are probably people who don't use TLS that would be anxiously awaiting an email.

I don't think non-TLSers know he has a twitter account to begin with.

There's still over 4 hours until 5 CST. Maybe they'll get it together by then. Maybe some of us will get an email today.

My guess as to why they need LSAC to admit us is that they might have to indicate decisions to LSAC before they notify the actual person, so they can't fudge their yield stats.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
