Yeah, but I figured that I didn't need to ask since the "All LSAT scores received" box was checked on the app... Damn, time to call them and see if I need to ask them to complete it.

Edit: Just called them, and they said that they won't automatically hold your application unless you put down that you're taking in February when you apply. They also said that they don't give second reviews in the event of a higher score. Just in case anyone also has the same question!

You just went under review. Why the immediate pessimism?

I applied on Dec 2, and it never goes complete (the status says we have received...). Should I write an email to ask about it?

This is kind've funny reading this stuff because I found Berkeley to be the most predictable out of all the schools I applied to. Applied Early Dec, Complete ~1-2 weeks after, got a status update regarding review state 3 weeks after that, then an e-mail about FR1 along with a decision deadline of Feb 6th.

No other school gave me that much detail.

Weird. I submitted 1/4 but went complete almost immediately and then was UR1 w/ no movement as of 1/12. Expecting a ding.

Just wait and don't worry about unresponsiveness yet. Took about a month for me to get to FR after a month of UR1, and I went UR1 about 2 days after submitting too.

its more realism in my case - i really don't have a chance based on my numbers. reverse splitter. took a chance. above 75th percentile GPA but below 25th percentile LSAT...

I was accepted as a non-URM after just three weeks as a reverse splitter (with several mediocre LSAT scores before hitting the 25%). I have an especially strong resume otherwise, but that is the product of graduate schooling and being three years out of undergrad.

Moral of the story: Below median LSAT scorers stay hopeful!

I think my resume is not strong. I am a very non traditional applicant. No published articles or books, no graduate degree, no work experience related to law. Mini career in advertising as single mom....I think it's impressive but not compared to other applicants so I found out. Good luck to everyone!

I seriously wouldn't stress about the lack of movement. I was admitted a little over a month after I went under review with no date changes...and then I sporadically received a call from dean. Didn't even have a status checker update until I emailed them a week after the phone call

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
