If i'm a borderline applicant (splitter) will visiting the school increase my odds at all?

Yes! They would be more willing to take a risk on an application that has a face and personality. Meeting them wont create miracles but it can help if your application is on the fence.

Just curious - how do you meet with these people to discuss your application?

Any movement? My app went complete on the 2nd.. nothing since then

Thank you, I have signed up for a tour! I'm very excited to see the law school in person it has been years since I have been there.

Anybody with any pointers of things to say/do to impress upon the school my desire to go there/help my chances as a borderline candidate?

Exactly what tuco said. Sign up for a tour, info secession, etc. and stand out. Make sure you introduce yourself to the people running it, stay after to talk and ask questions. Just making a positive impression can give them the encouragement to move your app to the accepted pile when they were uncertain before. I wouldn't bring up your scores or anything, just use the interaction as a supplement to your application. As a work-study in the admissions office at the law school at my UG institution, this was the advice the dean of admissions gave me for my reach/splitter schools. It can only help.

I'm in review since 11/02. Submitted 10/07 and complete shortly thereafter. I expect decisions in the first or second week of December.

I agree. BC doesn't seem to do the gradual releases many schools do.

My app just updated to 11/18 from some date in October, both for "under review", so maybe they'll start making decisions soon?

Submitted today and just got the status checker, always good to see.

Anyone else have like " Your application is being reviewed" since 10/24

[thelawschoolproject]

Being reviewed since 11/2 for me.

[msblaw89]

Been complete since 11/2

[BeerMaker]

Does application complete mean that it has already been in review? What's the difference?

[msblaw89]

No, complete just means they received all of the necessary materials for your application to go into review. It should say "in review" or "under review" when it is actually being reviewed

Anyone else have their status date change while under review? I went under review 10/6 and it updated to 11/18 on Friday.

No, I haven't had the luxury of any movement since 1/02- @ application complete

Same, except 11/3

Anyone know if BC does solicited waivers? I'm considering throwing an app their way to bump scholly offers with BU, but don't want to spend $70+ to do it.
