I applied 11/2, went complete on 11/3. Now it's just a waiting game. Although, according to LSN, the first wave of acceptances last year went out the first week of September.

Do they accept via Status Checker or email, or just snail mail? Anyone know?

Snail mail. My acceptance letter came in a big white packet with scholarship details included. My status checker still says "Decision Rendered." No notification via email.

I submitted on 11/12 and went complete 11/15. Status checker changed to "Decision Rendered" on 11/22. According to the 'Mailings' section, the decision was mailed on 11/23. Due to the holiday (I assume) I didn't get it until 11/29.

Well, congrats! I haven't gotten the "Descision Rendered" update yet, so I'll just have to practice patience (something I'm really terrible at, lol). McGeorge is actually one of my top choices, because I like Sacramento and want to move back home to practice eventually. A TON of the attorneys in my market went to McGeorge. At my firm we have, like, 15 UOP grads.

Hi everyone!

I applied November 9th and received a "complete"s status on November 15th. The waiting game is driving me crazy now that it's December. Just wondering, does McGeorge go from "complete" to "in review"/"in committee" or will it just go to the decision notice?

Thanks!

Oh, it means "yield protect." Schools (sometimes) don't offer admission to over-qualified applicants if they fear that the applicant would not attend if the applicant is offered admission to a school more "in their range." I don't know if McGeorge does it, but that'd explain why I haven't heard nary a word from them yet. My status checker has been UR for weeks.

I don't know, it's not like I have a 175 or something though. I am 2 points above 75th, although my GPA is way above 75th I wouldn't think THAT would paint me into a corner with 'em. Sigh.

Good luck to you though! Hope this cycle proves to be fruitful for you!

thanks, and likewise. At this point I'd just like SOMETHING, be it rejection or otherwise. LOL.

My phone has gone with me quite literally everywhere except for where direct water is involved for the last 4 1/2 weeks. I already told all of my instructors that I am expecting an urgent phone call that could come at any time for the remainder of the term. Hopefully this state does not persist into January.

you do realize that the phone call will come at the worst possible time ( like right before or during a final exam)? You just jinxed yourself. Best of Luck celebrating for 10 seconds, then getting back on track for the test!

Since I am working with all 3 of them on my honors thesis in one way or another, I suspect they would like that :P
