Sorry if I've missed something earlier in the thread, but why do you guys think those of us who applied on/before 12/1 will get our decisions on Monday? Thanks for the help, I'm anxious to hear back

I was complete 11/20, but had an added LSAT score from December. Do I count as complete before or after 12/1?

Here's why!

Information on when to expect your decision:

(1) The Admissions Committee begins reviewing completed applications in early December (with the exception of Two-Year JD applications – see #3 below).

(2) Once your application status is complete, please allow 8 weeks to receive a decision. If your application is complete before December, the 8-week period will begin on December 1.

Thanks! My most recent update was Application Complete on 12/4 so I probably didn't make the cut for next week's wave. Good luck everyone!

The Northwestern decision letter page had a note that basically said "give us 8 weeks from your complete date to render a decision with the earliest date being 12/1" which when they start considering RD I believe. This Monday is exactly 8 weeks from 12/1 which is when the 8 week period started for anyone that went complete 12/1 or earlier.

So it's not necessarily applying on/before 12/1 but going complete on/before then. Then again the rule might not turn out to be a hard and fast rule in which case we won't hear anything...

Edit: Scooped much better by grey

According to yesterday's tweet admitted student packets are being mailed today.

does anyone have an accurate guess at cycle time between UR2 (application complete 2) and acceptance? I'm talking RD kids that have been accepted, I know it's going to vary and what not, but just curious...

So do we think we're all just going to be waiting until monday?

I sure hope not...

But probably.

It could even be longer than Monday. Vanderbilt says that their decision will come within 12 weeks of a complete application, but for many of us, they've exceeded that deadline. Hopefully Northwestern won't stray and will stick to their 8 week deadline!

I think NW says explicitly somewhere they stick to their 10 week thing, while Vandy's is more of a "guideline." the code is what you'd call more of a guideline that actual rules.

Question about "Complete" date.

I went Complete 12/18, then snagged a late interview so went Incomplete, and Complete post-interview on 1/16. Guesses as to whether my "10 week" decision starts at 12/18 or now restarts at 1/16?

[DiniMae]

Any idea on AJD acceptances? Do we have to wait until Jan 31 do that they can review all applicants at once?

If anyone follows @tweetsbyjohann on twitter, the assistant dean is hilarious and pretty informative.

Agreed - so glad I did answer question 17 even though I was debating whether to do so. Although when he tweets jokes about decisions coming out I always die inside a little when I discover that I'm sitting at "complete"
