Uh huh. This seems like it's going to be a rejection wave. Ohh...

I'm so sorry, you guys!

I knew USC was a reach for me, haven't gotten my letter yet, but I am expecting the same outcome as the group.
Hope you all still have great prospects! <3

Same here 164 3.7 got the mail today.
It's absurd that they send snail mail for rejection. What a waste of my time and the stamp money.

Also received my decline today in the mail. 163 3.7 so it was a reach for me. Best of luck to the rest of you guys!

I think this was a USC alum rejection wave. Our letters specifically said "USC alumni"

idontknow1 · Post by **idontknow1** » Mon Mar 02, 2015 11:18 pm

Mine changed to "In Final Review" today. I am a USC Alum as well.

I just read over the DS I submitted to USC and I miswrote a word. My eyes went right to it, I can't believe I didn't catch it when I reviewed it a bunch of times back in December.

Well I wasn't an alumni, but I also got rejected. =\
Thinking of applying as a transfer.

Good luck everyone else! Wishing you all the best!!

Sorry to hear about all of the letters received today.

Those of you who have gotten dings, did you all go straight from 1st committee read to decision finalized?

Rumor has it that to transfer is even harder than to make Law Review or to land Biglaw jobs.

It will be a month on Friday for me. However, I did go from CR1 to CR2.

I've been on CR2 for about a month now too, but went from CR1 to CR2 as well.

I'm pretty sure I did, unless I missed CR2 in the only 6 hour period I didn't check

Aaaaaand it's a ding. What's really peculiar about the ding letter is that it basically says "We really liked your application and we want you but what we like even more is the US News ranking and the ca$$$h it brings, so go study elsewhere for a year with your mediocre LSAT and we'll accept you next year as a transfer student". Same happened with Berkeley. I see schools these days care more about cash and numbers than about matriculating quality students with a record of successfully studying law. O tempora, o mores!

Went from Committee Review 1 to Final Review today

Getting nervous

On average how long did it take to go from final review to decision finalized?
