I don't think that's the case. I've been UR since 11/18.

Yeah it looks a tad random: http://bc.lawschoolnumbers.com/applican ... order=desc

Also UR 11/15

You know what kind of sucks? Being on hold. They can decide on me tomorrow and I would have no idea. They only promised to get me a decision by February 28.

Being flat-out rejected would suck more, no?

True dat. Uncertainty sucks though, especially when it's out of your control...

Yes, but that doesn't take away from the suckage that is being put on hold.

I have scheduled a visit and I'm going to sit in on a class and meet with as many Dean Type Things as I possibly can while I'm there. I am grateful to have been given the opportunity to be "on hold" as opposed to dinged, so that I can at least go out there, demonstrate that I really, really want to go to BC, and then wait more.

I wanna do this, too! When will you be going?

The end of the month! I'm thrilled... a little worried about getting snowed in, since I have class on the following Monday, but I have already informed my instructor that I might miss that class.

I doubt it'll really change their decision anyway but if I look back and ask myself if I did everything I could, and I didn't, I would never be able to live with myself. My numbers seem to be a bit of a reach for BC so... we'll see.

So you're going on a weekend and BC will be open?? I'm planning on going at the end of the month, but hopefully Sunday-Tuesday. Something like that....

Oh, no... the last Friday of the month, I think it's the 28th. They give guided tours on Monday, Wednesday (Or was it Thurs?) and Friday, one of the admissions folks e-mailed me back a while ago about it (Way before winter break). Once the law students were back in action, they had a spring schedule set up and you can make an appt, go in and meet'n'greet, and if you want, you can visit a class provided the professor approves.

What ho all,

I applied to BC in mid-December and went under review yesterday.

Good luck to everyone!

Wow, I applied early December (6th) and went under review on the 15th. Not sure if that's a good or bad sign.

I don't think it is a bad sign *necessarily*, as we have to think about winter vacation and whatnot getting in the way of all that.

Wishful thinking?

Congrats, hopefully I'm right behind you. When did you go under review?

Bela · Post by **Bela** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 11:44 am

I've been UR since 11/15. I'm tired of waiting.
