Accepted as well! Submitted 11/12, complete very shortly after (I want to say 11/15, I honestly don't remember), updated on 12/10 and e-mail this afternoon.

My numbers are both above the 75th, but figured I would post my timeline FWIW. Good luck everyone!!

EDIT: Scholarship info came in about two hours via e-mail.

Congrats to everyone who was accepted. I kinda want to withdraw my app. Would it be too much to ask to get my fees refunded? I'm not pleased with how my app was handled. They never told me that the LSAT registration I cancelled well over a month ago was keeping my status incomplete and the first e-mail they sent me said that all statuses are incomplete until a preliminary review is done by the committee so I thought it was normal. I mean seriously, if they had just told me on November 5th, I would have sent them a quick e-mail telling them I cancelled my registration and I might have a decision by now. If I had never contacted them, my app might not have gone complete until early January and now I bet I won't get a decision until January and this has gotta impact $ if accepted somehow.

No, they won't refund your fees. And chill, it's still really early in the cycle. Also, try to keep in mind that you're not entitled to a spot in their class.

[DaRascal]

I just think it'd be worth it if I could get a refund because Fordham's not a good option for me. Retake is a better one lol. I just applied because I was interested to see how I'd fare with my current numbers but now that decision might be distorted because of what happened so it's not going to be useful information if I apply in a future cycle with different numbers. It's just not worth it to me to find out if I could somehow get the dough back instead lol.

Oh yeah sorry about that. Didn't want to give off an entitled vibe. It's just that for my purposes this stinks because the reason I applied to a lot of schools I wouldn't really consider attending (especially the T2's I applied to) was because I was really interested to see what kind of decisions my current numbers would yield with early November apps.

I could write a scathing comment, but I'll be nice.
If you wasted money applying to schools you're not interested in, that's your mistake. There's an expression "a fool and his money are soon parted". You acted the fool now your money is parted.

As for not getting reviewed right away, most schools have a policy that if an app is incomplete they will not review it. Some schools treat a pending LSAT as an incomplete app, some don't. Had you done a little research into it, you could have asked them to evaluate your application on the basis of your existing score and to ignore your pending test. That's on you, not on the school.

Good luck both on the LSAT and wherever life takes you.

[DaRascal]

Why write a scathing comment? Spread love, not hatred.

I guess it was my fault to a very very small extent for not checking in here and seeing when people submitted and went complete relative to me but the e-mail that we got that says all apps are incomplete until the committee does a preliminary review and the fact that my status checker just said "incomplete" instead of something like "incomplete because registered for a future LSAT" (e.g. Notre Dame) had me not worried about it all... until decisions started coming in. Eh oh well. Guess I'll have to eat the fees. Frustrating.

(Btw, I agree I was a bit foolish but I wanted to cast a wide net since this is my first cycle and maybe not my last so I needed to know what my numbers could do)

Sh*t happens. You also need to remember that it's very early in the admissions cycle. Last year none of the schools I applied to had looked at my app before new year (despite being complete nice and early). I didn't hear of any regular decision going out before new year.

I don't think that's foolish (necessarily, although I consider it a complete waste of money to apply to a school you have no intention of ever attending), but you can't buy a newspaper and then change your mind and ask for a refund either.

Accepted today with a 15k/year scholarship.

[FranielMcbrodude]

Congrats! Complete 11/8, 11/26 update still..borderline candidate at 3.6/164

Huh. Weird. I submitted around the same time you did and haven't even gotten an update. I have the same lsat/no gpa. I wonder if my lack of grades are causing any hold up.

If memory serves me right, we are number twins and I got wait-listed. I don't know what kind of miracle you were expecting to get accepted with a scholarship, but it will be very unlikely with your current LSAT.
