Not necessarily! Bet you got in, have you heard yet?

Yea I just heard - WL for me - that's ok - my GPA is below 25% and my LSAT is slightly above 25% - can't complain too much!

In a very similar boat. 25<LSAT/GPA<50 as well. WL. Best of luck to the both of us!

Still waiting to hear back from several other schools, but I'm thinking of going to the admitted students day. Do you guys think it'd be better to go in Feb or March? Also, received a 50% scholarship, but I'd like to negotiate if possible. I hear Maurer is generous with their scholarships. Any ideas of how I should go about doing that?

Congrats I was kinda wondering the same thing, but it seems early for hitting them up for scholarship bumps seeing they just really started admitting people.

Thanks! Do you think you'll end up going to Maurer? Also, when do you think would be a more appropriate time? Like mid Feb?

Well, I am still parsing it out. Maurer seems to be a good option all-in-all, but I have yet to hear back from quite a few schools (I applied a bit late). Honestly - to answer your question - I am not sure. February seems a bit more cordial than right now. But that is just my opinion.

Long-time lurker, first time poster. I was accepted back on the 18th of Dec. I loved the little speaker; it rocks! I also enjoyed my conversation with Dean Canada. Scholly too boot

Yeah it's pretty loud! I didn't have a chance to speak to Dean Canada but he seems like a great guy.

I would suspect you'll see an acceptance packet in the mail any day now!

I was accepted on 1/5 as well. Got a call from the Dean Canada yesterday and he told me to keep an eye on snail mail as official letter is coming. So I think we will get one?
He is a great guy, super personable on the phone!

Hi, all! Applied on 11/8, went UR on 11/10, Still waiting to receive word back, but I do have a question in the meantime. I just checked my status for any movement, and noticed that the list of requirements at the bottom just has an empty checkbox that says "Picture." Anyone have any idea what that's all about?

Mine shows that and I'm admitted. It's a picture for their internal system of students.

Mine also says picture. Is this a sign of a soon acceptance?

I was admitted and I see that on my status checker too. The box is unchecked. I haven't checked my status checker for a while now, but for "status" it says "decision was made." Perhaps these two things in conjunction together is a good sign for those waiting to hear back.

Checking in!

Applied on 12/25 (yes, I spent my Christmas applying to law schools). Changed to UR on 1/4, waiting anxiously for a response. My status checker says that they might take up to 3 weeks to make a decision so I still have another 8 days to go crazy. Did anyone receive a response in less than 3 weeks?

I already got accepted in another school with $$$ but IU is one of my first choices (live in IN, they have a 2 year program, in-state tuition is great).

I would imagine that maybe they could theoretically want students that commit to them to submit a head shot or something, so it could be a good sign. Maybe you'll be getting an acceptance letter soon.

I finally received my acceptance package , but no Bluetooth speaker . Maybe those are only for the hot shots lol. I'm probably going to be heading to the March admitted student weekend. Anyone else thinking about going to the later one?

Did anyone that was accepted notice a "picture" under requirements and then a change back to the requirements that is "CAS Report, Personal statement, LOR"? I had the latter then "picture" then back to the beginning one as of yesterday.

I suspect the speaker gift was to coincide with Christmas, even though it came after Christmas. If I go to Admit Day, it will be to the earlier most likely.

I'll be at the February admit day!

Nice! Are people going to the admit day even if they know they will not be attending Maurer?

Just happened to me, too. I checked status again today, and it's back to "Personal Statement, Resume, CAS Report, LOR".

I'll be at the February one too! Maurer is in my top 3 choices so I'm going with the intent of seeing how I fit with the school and town.

I am not too sure what to make of this. My GPA is right below the 50th and LSAT is 25th.

You're in though, right? I'm sure you'll be getting one too! Is everyone in this forum that's planning on potentially attending Maurer from the midwest?

Yeah I'm in. I'm originally from CA, did my UG there, but currently live in South Louisiana.
