Mine was 21 days between going complete and getting a call from admissions welcoming me. I think they call as soon as they switch you over to accepted so there's not a ton of value obsessively checking the status checker.

Bama and SMU are the only schools left that I'd consider over Georgia. I've always wanted to say "Roll Tide"

You don't say "Roll Tide," you yell it with everything you've got.

So pending is bad? I just want/NEED to know if it is bad or if there's no conclusion on its meaning.

Pending isn't bad. I've stated it before. I was tired of speculating as well, so I called in to confirm that pending doesn't mean "waitlisted" or anything and the lady confirmed that it merely meant that a decision has not been made yet, nothing more. I was pending all the way until last week before I finally got a call from them.

In via phone call on V-day. 3.6/166 - $20k/yr contingent upon remaining in the top 40%.

Yeah, I work in front of a computer 8 hours a day, your facts still aren't going to keep me from obsessing...

Thanks for the info though, it's nice to have an actual timeline. Congrats.

For people who have been looking at apartments, how much does a non-crappy 1-bedroom apt within 15 minute drive of the law school go for?

Anybody going to visit in March? They booked a flight to Birmingham, but I have no clue how I'm supposed to get to Tuscaloosa! I get there too late for a train and a bus! Any other way?

Yeah, bummer... you need to be 21 with some rare weird exceptions.

Check out this website: http://www.bhamintlairport.com/passenger-parking.html

If I remember correctly, it costs around $120 each way to get from Birmingham to Tuscaloosa.

Are you going during the ASW? I'm sure somebody could give you a ride if that's the case. Otherwise, you could reach out to Page or Claude and see if somebody is coming the same day around the same time and see if you could carpool. And if you happen to be coming in on 3/10, I can take ya'.

Another option: craiglist ride it. It may not be 100% reliable and you have the chance to meet some unexpected characters, but I've used it to great success.

They sent us out an apartment guide. Here's an electronic copy, in case you're interested in perusing:

Pending is like being in purgatory. I've been pending forever now.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
