Congrats! Could you tell us when you did your interview, if you don't mind?

It is kind of unusual to see some rejections/waitlists for certain individuals on this forum and law school numbers. When I got the phone call, Dean Ingram was saying they are really trying to keep a small class? Maybe this is how they are going about it? Although it still wouldn't make as much sense.

Dinged today via status checker, but I got into Penn yesterday... so it could be worse.

You found out by just looking at status checker? Did you get an email or anything?

They are probably dinging people for YP. Keep in mind schools have to admit 3-4x their desired class size because of yield, so they can't admit everybody based on whether they have super high numbers.

Thanks! I did it December 7th, and the status checker changed to say interview completed the next day. I couldn't tell if it updated because it had been ten days since the request or if it just took a day to process, but they didn't look at the interview for two weeks anyway.

How should I feel if I went complete 11/14 and still no interview invitation?

In yesterday via voicemail and was also notified that I am being recommended for the Hugh Scholarship! Anyone else?

I went complete in October and no interview request, but at median GPA and LSAT>75th. At this point I'm preparing for a WL/ding.

Latest status checker update has me at "Your application is ready for review" on 12/2. Submitted on 11/01. No interview request yet.

Mylsn gave my numbers above an 85% chance of acceptance, I'm at 75th LSAT, just below 50th GPA, and Cornell is one of my top choices. Is it looking like WL/ding is on the horizon for me? If so, I hope I'm getting booze for the holidays...

LSAT = 50th and GPA far north of 75th. WLed this morning... biggest surprise of my cycle thus far. Just interviewed the 20th. I'm seriously caught off guard.

Yikes. This scares me. :/

Also, do you think the admissions office will be giving decisions over the next two weeks?

Yeah, I figured I'd not only get in, but get some money and end up going. Guess not...

Any idea what happened? I interviewed 12/14 and haven't heard back so I'm pretty worried seeing all these WLs/dings

I'd take 26hrs over waiting a few weeks

Did you guys upload photos for the kira talent thing?

Already in at Duke, so I don't think my app had any major issues. My online video interview didn't go great by any means, but I wouldn't have thought it was bad enough to make them not like me. They only took like 26 hours after I finished my interview before they made their decision, though, so idk.

I'm in the same boat re: Duke. At least we've both got an awesome option!

Yeah I didn't know either! They just said it's the highest scholarship Cornell offers so that's pretty cool!

Probably just yield protection.

Kira talent platform lost connection at the 6th question and I had to reload the setup. Everything seemed to be going fine beforehand. Here's hoping that doesn't impact my decision in any way.

Maybe you can email them and explain the situation?
