Everybody panic?

Always a good plan in any case.

We are on TLS, panic is what we do...right?

I think I went 3/4 to 3/23, not 100% sure though

I have had alot of updates to being under review for Chicago.

Received 12/20
Complete 1/25
Under Review 3/9
Under Review 3/24
Under Review 3/30
Under Review 4/1

I dont know what to make of this. My numbers are way below the medians, so i was expecting an auto reject. And i dont think my fall 2009 grades ever got to them, stupid LSAC.

Do you guys think i have a shot?

Same exact dates as you.

I am >75% GPA and >75% LSAT... Don't panic yet guys...

[GermX]

^ Same here, except last Under review is 4/2. This and Cornell are my final shots at T-14, otherwise it Fordham or GW Law for me.

[lawgod]

ok. you tell us when to panic

[GermX]

I'll let ya know, but my starts are 3.4, 169, so its not like me getting rejected indicates anything.

Either we're fucked, or they're not sending it out in batches.

[jgolimow]

I've given up trying to figure them out. Applied 12/30 --> Complete 1/something --> UR 3/15 --> UR 3/22 --> UR 4/2.

[Reedie]

Anyone want to call them and ask them if they will be releasing any more decisions since March is over?

[lawgod]

applied 12/15 ur 3/9; 4/1 I called and they said to expect decision in next week or two.
175/ 4.0 ORM -Over Represented Minority

[orangeandblue4127]

I called today to see if could get any more info. The guy told me that all of these updates is not a huge indicator of acceptance or denial. They process everything in batches, and every application gets a full review. He did say however that my application was in "the final stages of a decision" and that i should hear back within the week. Im actually kind of glad of how busy i will be for the rest of the school year so i wont obsess over this.

[GermX]

Wow I am liking this. So I'm possibly in a batch with 175s and 4.0s? Maybe they saw something me worth accepting (3.4, 169)? It would change my life, getting into a T-6...

[iamtaw]

still at 3/22... i wanna join the party

[iamtaw]

still at 3/22... i wanna join the party

WTF JUST WENT 4/2!

[quetzalcoatl]

I really thought today would be the day. Guess Ive got another week to stress out.

It's tough to parse what "within the week" might mean.

[GermX]

Omg, I'm really excited, I am in review with a lot of candidates with great numbers. Either U Chicago is about to reject a bunch of 175s and 3.5+s, or this is going to be a great week.

[expat17]

I wouldn't be too excited ... is there any gaurantee that we all have the same fates???

FYI same batches do not indicate same decisions.

I don't want to burst your bubble, but I do want to deflate it a little so it doesn't burst later on: Chicago sends out admissions and rejections in the same batches. So, you should hope for the best, but prepare yourself mentally for the worst.

[GermX]

Well, its pretty much known that U Chicago does it in batches. And from my experience, this is how it goes, I mean GULC and USC we all went IR at the same time, and loe and behold it did come in batches.

So I hope you guys aren't sad at being in a batch with a 3.4, 169, but I might be an exception because all the rest of you are 175+ers. So I'm pretty excited, but won't be too sad if I don't get it considering how much of a reach it is.

[GermX]

Good point about same batches=not same decisions. But I'm just going to feel happy. lol
