Hello!
Can anyone shed some light on this subject?
Why do some Law Schools periodically change the Current Status Date? For example: NDLS does this like once a month.
Initial Submission - 4 Sep
First status change - Approx 13 Sep
Next change - 14 Oct
Does this just mean someone at the AC clicked on my profile or something? Did I pass the first shake test and not get rejected out right? Is this just a monthly refresh?
UMich just shows you the current date every time you login, so not every school does this.

After scouring the internet and this site for some time, I have an answer!
Every school is different. NDLS likely equates this to UR1 and UR2. Movement is movement, and as long as its not followed shortly thereafter with a "we regret to inform you", you're cooking with gas.

Thanks for updating us! FWIW, I know it's (much) easier said than done, but really try to put admissions outcomes out of your mind for now. It's mid-October; it's still super early in the current admissions cycle. Schools don't really get going on giving out offers until mid-late November. Not to say October acceptances don't exist, but they tend to be rare, even for very strong candidates.BlueSkiesonMars wrote:After scouring the internet and this site for some time, I have an answer!

And also: fear not, schools will let you know as soon as they render a decision on your application (or even sometimes if they need more time to decide). They won't leave it to you to find out your status via their checker.

Hey I appreciate the advice! For a lot of us, and I'd think especially non-traditional students, we have spent so much time preparing and then we have the anti-climactic "submit" moment. What follows is 3-4 months of waiting around and refreshing and over thinking every possible scenario.QContinuum wrote:Thanks for updating us!

Listen to this moderator....they are a smart individual. Enjoy your few months off of not thinking about Law School admissions and chill.
Don't be like me and search for an answer that is literally the third paragraph on the NDLS FAQ section.
