Top Law Schools

I'm seeing a lot of inconsistency across the forum re the time it takes to go from a UR to a decision. At this point in the game with deadlines closing in and large scholarship packages already being distributed, is it safe to start assuming that an application pending since 11/1 might be considered a WL/ding? I've seen several situations where people receive acceptances within 3-4 days of going complete in January. I'm baffled by this.

That is to say: the longer an application is UR, the more unlikely it is that you'll get an acceptance. Is there any science behind this at all or am I just starting to cave from the anxiety of the waiting game?

send an LOCI and see what happens.

Bump. Same problem but many apps been held since late September... What should I do?

First off, no its not necessarily a WL/ding. Schools have a number of reasons to wait on certain applications, including comparing them to similar applications later in the cycle, etc. If you've only been complete since 11/1 I wouldn't necessarily send a LOCI just yet, as the deadlines at a number of schools haven't even passed yet.
