Top Law Schools

I applied a few weeks ago, didn't see a thread so figured I'd start one!

I applied!

Checking in!

Applied on 9/16 and went complete on 10/10.

Applied 11/12, 160/3.6, good luck everybody!

Haven't gone complete yet because LSAC still has to process a rec of mine. I'll give it another week before I start hounding them.

Accepted RD via email today!

Mine still hasn't gone complete...they should have gotten my last rec 2 days ago. I'm getting way too impatient with this process, and it's still kind of early in it...

And congrats!

Do you know when you went complete?

Yes, I received an email noting that my application was complete on 10/10.

Tagging this. Suppose I'll be hearing soon; received the emial saying application received on Oct. 14, but never received an application complete email... Is this normal?
Also, did you get offered any scholarship info for those of you admitted?

I can't comment on your lack of an application complete email.

No scholarship offer in the email, but the message did indicate that I should receive a letter in the mail with "additional information about [my] acceptance." I suspect that the letter might include scholarship information.

Haha thank you. That would be my special-looking dog.

Anybody receive an email from Al Watson today asking for an app. addendum? They want me to answer these two questions within 10 days:

1. Explain what you currently know about the University of Cincinnati, and/or the greater Cincinnati area, that you believe will enhance the quality of your law school education.

2. Given today's uncertain economic outlook, what do you believe will distinguish you from others as you prepare to enter the legal job market in the coming years?

Maybe they just don't like MA residents

Hm. I didn't. Maybe they're sending it in waves? Or maybe they don't like MA residents That seems strange that a school would do that. It wasn't mandatory, was it? Not that I ever pass up extra essays, but that would make it even weirder.

^i didnt get that email

but i did get an email about 2 weeks ago asking for a GPA addendum

i hope the fact they asked for an explanation is a good thing

I got that email today as well. I wonder why

Now I'm wondering why I DIDN'T get it.

When did you go complete? They might not have looked at yours yet. I've been complete for about a month.

Ah, true, mine hasn't gone complete yet for some reason, although it should have. I might shoot them an email about that.

After some nudging, I went complete today. Said there should be a decision in 4-6 weeks

Also, do they send status checkers or just update via email?

Not to take over the thead but I called Cinci a few days ago to ask why I never got an "application complete" email. I applied like 2 months ago and hadn't heard anything. The lady was very nice and helpful, but she said that because I went Early Decision with Penn, they were not going to even look at my file until I heard a decision from Penn...
So my problem with this is: If I wanted them to wait to look at my application, I would have just waited and applied after I heard. Then, I could have saved the application fee if admitted. BUT, if Penn does not accept me, I will now be competing for less seats and less scholarship money. Sorry for the rant, but this seems unethical on their part...

How do they know you did ED to Penn?

I think it asked on the application if you had ED'd anywhere
