Got a voicemail a few hours ago. Completely thrilled!

At/above both 75ths, submitted mid-October, and part of the UR2 12/16 crew. Wrote a Why Penn but honestly it was so enthusiastic I thought I'd be dinged for being weird

Congrats to all the admits!

Oh man. Wouldn't that be amazing??!? It's more likely though that a second reviewer just picked up our files after sending their last bunch into the decision pile.

Thanks! :) The full version is even better: http://gifsec.com/funny/rofl-kid/

Gives me warm happy feelings every time. Comes in handy during the application process.

Also UR2 12/8 with you. It's still relatively early in the day and it looks like they're not doing them all back to back, based on the fact that we've only had 5 reports on here so far today (so there are maybe 20? others not on TLS?), and they've been spread over almost 3 hours.
One day would be an incredible turnaround, although the existence of UR2 1/6ers in today's calls gives me hope. What's the expected timeline on decision days after today? Every Friday? Every other week? Very new to this process.

Sorry, misread your UR2, was hoping for another 12/8 purgatory person

Accepted via call just now! Am still so stunned - honestly didn't think I would get the call (LSAT between 25th and median, GPA>75th), UR 2 12/22
Good luck to everyone else!
