Still waiting...........but hey....with all this free time I have now that I am not studying, I get to catch up with my shows (Walking Dead, House of Cards, etc...)

Marathon style, huh...

I think the term is called "binge watching"

Yup

Also waiting! Waiting can kind of make you go crazy lol. I wonder if there is any particular order (For instance, the obvious acceptances already sent out..) or if applications are just in a big pile and they are going through randomly.

I called them before applying and asked what the turn around was. They told me 4-8 weeks, but they were running behind partly due to the change over in owners. No biggie. I can wait.

Awesome! Weird we were just talking about it! Mine went complete on 2/5 and still no decision!

[danks231]

Yes I found out via status checker. I still haven't heard directly from the university. I had been waiting for all these Texas schools the last several weeks and the last three days I've had some type of movement from all of them. I'm glad the wait is finally coming to an end so I can decide!

Did you get an email first? Saying a decision had been made?

[danks231]

No, I've just been in the habit of checking the status checker regularly for all the schools. Yesterday it was under review still and today it said congratulations you've been accepted on the checker. Every other school I've found out from them directly before the checker, so this one caught me off guard.

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share some good news, I got accepted to TAMU
My application was complete 3/25 and I got a "decision has been made" email 3/27 saying I was admitted. No word on scholarships or anything.
For those who are wondering, I had a 3.18 GPA and 160 LSAT and am out-of-state
I'm 99% sure I'm going to go to TAMU so I'll see some of you in the fall!!!

STCL and TTU have accepted me, what is taking A&M so long?

Same boat. Different schools. 4 Accepted/ 1 Denial.

I paid my first seat deposit just in case at one school, but would drop both deposits right now if A&M called me today.

I just don't get the hold up...

May I ask why the great desire for A&M?

[the_dude83]

I just spoke with admissions and they estimate 4-8 weeks from the date a file goes under review. He said there are still applicants from November submission waiting, for various reasons. I don't feel as A&M has the level of clout to make people wait that long and will likely lose applicants due to this process.

I am not just looking at the 3.5 years from day one to Bar exam.

I already have a job lined up with a private practice willing to take me on as soon as I roll into town. Employment in the out of semester season and a desk on Grad+1. I just need to get in.

I can go to another school, but the distance would make it......"difficult"

They told me that too.

This weekend makes 4 weeks.......but you say no response on apps from Nov??? wow......now I do not feel so bad.

ya! I agree. I am sure it is specific ones with particular circumstances, but I still do not see how students will not attend A&M purely due to the fact of how late they will be hearing a decision. I have to move a whole family with me, it takes time!

Same here. It would be my last PCS following separation.

What branch? MOS?
I am just moving from Houston, but I need to get my wife employed and adequate/affordable housing in order for me to not work 1L

I just heard back from A&M at about 10PM Sunday night, that I got in!!- so I think they are working over time to get decisions in. They just got swamped with the turn around of new owners. Mine went complete on 2/5 so I waited about 7.5 weeks.

That is crazy! Idk if I can wait that long to decide.

On a good note, they are deciding between 2 individuals for Dean. The decision is at the board currently!
