Any movement today? I have a feeling that they are waiting until after seat deposits are due to see who might also get in.

This could be based simply off gut feeling, but I feel like they still have many more acceptances to hand out. They accepted a total of 863 last year, I doubt that mark has been reached yet. Sources below

I hope you are right, though according to Law School Numbers, they have sent out 897 offers this year. I would take that information with a grain of salt, I doubt Florida would tell them the exact numbers and no way does every person applying or accepted use that site as a benchmark. Here is the link

Definitely agree with you! Also, seat deposits aren't due until May 15 according to the UF Law website. It used to be around April 15 last year and I'm not sure about the years before that. I'm seeing this trend with many schools. Seems to me that they aren't getting as many applicants and numbers that they normally are used to. It has been reported that Law School admissions are down significantly since 2004.

The April 15th deadline is still in place for those offered aid packages... There should be a lot of movement after Wednesday, IMO.

another part of me also wonders if all of us that havent heard anything back yet are getting thrown on the waitlist or getting denied. and uf's just taking their time doing so.

Thats where I am at, but I also tend to prepare for the worst, and hope for the best.

I agree. I am pretty much planning on a denial but hoping for at least a waitlist. I am taking the LSAT again in June so at least a waitlist would mean I still have a chance. I wish they would just tell us and get it over with though!

I feel the same way. I'm expecting a denial but I'm keeping up the hope for anything but.

I've been checking my status and it still hasn't changed from Comp. Review since 3/15.

I really hope they still have acceptances to hand out. The wait is driving me insane. Please tell me if I'm in or not already!!

danielvawter · Post by **danielvawter** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 12:34 pm

Same... Comparative Review since 3/17.... Hoping the poster earlier was correct with new movement on 4/15...

shay2171 · Post by **shay2171** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 12:37 pm

If that is the deadline, it would make more sense if there is movement Thursday after people withdraw by default.

Good man (or woman)! What was the deciding factor for you?

shay2171 · Post by **shay2171** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 11:51 am

As of 11:50 I had no movement on my tracker...and the wait continues.

CBlaw · Post by **CBlaw** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 11:54 am

Been viewing this thread for a couple weeks. This wait is killing me , Ive been in Comp review since 2/18 but think this week the news should start rolling in...hopefully

ipodreviews · Post by **ipodreviews** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 12:27 pm

Whats everyone's stats....for those of you who are still waiting to hear from UF? I remember looking at LSAC...and they had a Stats table/chart with gpa/lsat and showed how many applied and how many got in. It's going to be a long shot..but still hoping for the best!

lordofducks · Post by **lordofducks** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 12:28 pm

yeah. I've been watching my application for weeks now too. No change since 12:25 pm.

Hopefully there's movement today.

amped323 · Post by **amped323** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 1:11 pm

Just to provide some insight, a friend of mine was accepted on 4/8 with a 3.47 and a 155. She had good softs too.

shay2171 · Post by **shay2171** » Thu Apr 16, 2015 12:39 pm

Nothing as of 12:30...and the wait continues.

danielvawter · Post by **danielvawter** » Thu Apr 16, 2015 2:47 pm

12:03....nothing. 12:09....nothing 12:15.... Well we all get the point.

I may have hit the refresh button a few times. I feel like a Stark kid saying the words. Except its "Movement is Coming."

Good choice. Congrats. Go Knights.
