I completed 1/15, date change on 2/5 and decision made with deposit numbers today!

I called them today, they said should expect to hear by end of February.....

Expect a decision or expect scholarship notification?

I think that was Anna saying that she had received her decision and mag saying she had recently applied. With all the talk about scholarships, Austin was wondering whether Mag had called in about scholarship deadlines or her application.

John is correct! Sorry for the confusion.

At the risk of weirding everyone out... Would it seriously increase one's chances of getting in if its made explicit that aid/scholarship is NOT needed?

I hear if you offer to pay more for tuition you can get in with a 155...

In all seriousness, no, it wouldn't change your chances and would most likely make you come off as desperate. This is a rough cycle, hold out hope, they will probably be offering a bit farther down the line than they normally would (not trying to say you have bad numbers, just trying to address what your question seems to imply).

You guessed correctly, I asked precisely because I do not have much hope of getting in. I think my LSAT is above median, but I do not have a GPA as I am an international candidate.

You definitely should apply! Not sure how they classify international vs. domestic (citizenship or permanent residency), but my undergraduate institution is foreign too. If I got in, I am certain you have a great chance.

Yeah, LSAT is really important to them this year, and international UG adds diversity. I'd almost call you a shoe in if you have a good GPA/academic track record. Definitely would've earlier in the cycle. I'd say you have a great shot!

I submitted on 1/31 and I had an update on 2/10. Curiously, however, the message displayed on top changed from "Thank you for applying, expect to hear from us in 3-5 weeks" to "Thank you for submitting your application. Your application is complete and ready for review. Application review begins in October and continues on a rolling basis. Decisions are made on individual applications as quickly as possible; however, the time required to a make a decision will vary among applications. A rolling admission process allows for extending the review process as appropriate ensuring that each application receives full and individualized attention in the context of careful comparison to other complete applications"

Anybody got something similar?

Anybody saw something similar? Curious if it presages bad news...

Nope. I had the same thing happen and I've been admitted.

I think my LSAT is above median

Apply. I was under both medians last cycle (Non-urm) and I got in.

I applied on 1/20, went complete on 2/3 and now have another complete today 2/11? Does anyone know if multiple completes mean anything? and has anyone received acceptances that went complete today? I have a hair above 75% GPA and a hair below 25% LSAT so I don't fancy my chances. Thanks for the help.

Multiple completes are common. If history is an indicator, we might be getting "decisions made" tomorrow, with the appearance of the Seat Deposit $$$ Numbers as harbingers of our admittance. Good luck to all, brosephs.

Let hope we all get good news. I have my doubts but I'm trying to stay positive. Good luck!

FWIW, I had a second complete date a week or two after my first (like you) but didn't get admitted for another 5 weeks after that. This was back in Nov/Dec though. I'd expect you have at least a couple weeks before a decision though. Good luck!

Hey there, I like the "decision made" tomorrow comment much better than this one.

Haha I would too if I were you! I just wanted to give you a heads up that you probably won't get a decision tomorrow. You're welcome to hit the refresh button every 10 seconds though just in case

Haha if it makes you feel better, MX told me the same thing but I had my decision the next day. Most people didn't wait that long.

Thank you for the positive reinforcement! On a side note, I see you in about every other thread I'm in, and I can't help but assume you are a very beautiful woman. Damn avatars.
