Held over to Regular Decision. Hoping an improved score on the December LSAT will push me over.

Do we have any idea of the numbers from previous years of those moved to RD, who were then subsequently accepted?

Generally pretty good. Splitters especially tended to get held --> accepted.

And then $ is just a crap shoot at that point?

RD

[bmurp]

Also moved to RD! Do they reject or waitlist anyone directly from ED or just move us all to RD?

no dls yet... but when I log into the DLS site, it shows a different complete date than the checker (3 days later) -- do we think my decision has been made and they're just waiting for the wave? does it just take a few days between updating "complete" on the status checker and the DLS site? other theories?

commence speculation.

I only have a completion date on the DLS site, not on the status checker. Applied mid-Nov, interviewed a couple days later. DLS completion date is about 10 days after the application was received, so I'm guessing it hasn't been updated since my file was initially completed.

With absolutely nothing to back this up, your dates sound like there's a decision coming soon on your file.

I've been ascribing to this wishful thinking, too. I've been complete on the status checker since early November but on the DLS site it's 12/15.

your dates give a little bit more credence to the theory, imo - here's hoping NU shows us some love, already!

How did you get the 150k with a 3.4 and a 160? Nobody on LSN with those numbers even got accepted last year, let alone with the ED scholarship.

URM obviously... yaaay affirmative action

Yo, call! That's a long time to be on hold without them looking at your app. I'll be calling tomorrow just to make sure there isn't a glitch. Given that it's an online forum (or at least for me it was), there really shouldn't be a huge delay.

Lol I know... I really should. I'm hesitant though because my alumni interviewer is handling my application and it's not going through the regular channels, so I'm waiting it out. I should definitely give someone a call.

I called the admissions office in a similar situation - just frame it as "making sure there isn't anything else expected from me". If it actually is just the interviewer, they'll confirm that you had the interview already and then follow up with the interviewer on their end. Mine flipped to complete later that day.

People way overthink getting in touch with the admissions office... if you have a legitimate question, they have no issue with you calling in. They all go as far as to specify that we should do that.

On campus interview was amazing. Was about 45 minutes long with a student

So I dialed the number for Admissions and as I listened to their automated greeting I thought maybe I should check my status checker one last time just to make sure I'm not magically complete after all these days. And I was!

Glad I checked! Thank you for your insight though, rska. Good to know other people are being recruited in this manner as well.
