Received the acceptance email today! Submitted 12/3, interviewed 12/21.

To answer earlier quesitons, I checked the status checker earlier this week and it only said complete, not under review. So I'm guessing they don't update it to "Under Review" for those of you wondering. Also, received an unsolicited fee waiver

What's the consensus on not applying for it? I don't think I would qualify with my numbers now, but would it impact my prospects of getting in?

I applied. It's not like an ED where it carries any restrictions or indicates elevated interest beyond "I would like a full ride" (which I'm sure everyone would). I don't see how it could hurt your app. I was accepted and applies so I would say go for it.

Although, I did see somewhere that they tend to reserve it for the folks that they're trying to snatch back from the T14. I don't know how valid that is but possibly worth considering if your numbers are borderline.

I think scholly info usually starts coming out around March.

Btw, who else hasn't finished their merit scholarship app?

Ugh, me. I'd like to know whether I'm in before I put more time into it, but it's been radio silence for a month.

I feel stupid even having to ask this question, but I submitted my application and had my interview in early September, but still have not heard anything from them. I have already been accepted to every other law school I applied to. Does this more than likely mean I'm being rejected? Thanks for the help.

Doubt it. Lots of people have been waiting a while to hear. Don't give up hope!

You shouldn't feel stupid. Not for that reason at least. You should feel stupid for asking it, because you didn't HAVE to ask it.

Nobody knows but the adcomms. Because you have been accepted to other schools has no bearing on this school. They don't call around to other adcomms and ask about their acceptance timelines and collude on a decision-release date. You'll most likely be rejected when you get a rejection email. Just chillax.
