Been stuck on "All Required Documents Received" since 10/30. Wondering if any one has had any movement lately?

Ditto. Still under initial review

Is initial review the same as, "Comparative Review in Progress"?
That's my status.

Is the comparative review generally because someone is signed up for a new LSAT?

No everyone is subjected to a comparative review before a decision.

Threads last year showed people with high stats getting in without going to CR

[tortsandtiaras]

Yeah, what would be the point of an "initial" review if everyone would have to go through a comparative review? Might as well be "comparative review" from the start

[MikeM-law]

Status changed to "comparative review in progress" as of this afternoon.

[mpk11d]

"Final Decision reached, notice issued" as of today. Also, never went into Comp Review. 166/3.86

As an FSU undergrad I'm telling UF that I'm going to the winner of Saturday's game

Then you might as well pay the seat deposit to FSU lol. Congrats on what I'm sure will be an acceptance letter.

Just went under "Comparative Review" as of today... *sigh*

So what is the consensus for how much longer us comparative folks wait?

[tortsandtiaras]

So what is the consensus for how much longer us comparative folks wait?

I looked through last year's threads and those in similar positions as us (turned our apps in early in Sept/Oct) will hear back by mid-January. I am thinking about sending in a LOCI in December because that will be 3 months since I went complete. Anyone thinks this is a good/bad idea? I have already written it LOL. I can pm it to anyone who is kind enough to offer advice.

[MikeM-law]

So what is the consensus for how much longer us comparative folks wait?

165+ within the next week or so. 160+ probably mid December. Everyone else probably February.

I think February is too late. I am sure those in the 150+ hear back in early January to late January the latest.

I just said that based on last years results I don't really know. Educated guess

That's more if you're wait listed and classes are getting ready to start. Would definitely hold off on that.

My status just changed. It's listed as changing yesterday but must have been late yesterday cause I checked. It says final decision reached, notice issued. I guess they don't use email? Does anyone know if scholarship info comes via Mail with decision?

Highly doubtful. I'm in at UGA/FSU so far and they both have committees convene after they admit the first round or so to talk $$. Maybe UF already had those meetings since they're sending out their first acceptances later than FSU/UGA but I still doubt we'll get anything in the initial package. I did email a Dean I've been in contact with to ask, I can PM you any important info he tells me

[floridaxrose]

Thanks Id appreciate that
