as to residency, is this not valid? http://www.law.washington.edu/FinAid/Residency.aspx

i went to uw undergrad but now live in ca. should i get into uw law and go there, i think i could make a strong argument that i was returning to washington for other than educational purposes. otherwise, i was going to rely on this.

Well, it doesn't seem like they have a password-protected admitted students website, so I guess there's no way to find out what the decision is until I get the letter in the mail.

I hope "decision" doesn't only mean rejected or WL...

just bc some status checkers change to "congrats, etc."

Good Luck!!

I'm still in review also (01/05)

I'd guess that all decisions at this point are positive.

TwinA · Post by **TwinA** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 8:39 pm

That's a good way of looking at it haha.

And if they are the type of school that puts "decision" only when making a rejection, I'm haping I'm still in review.

If they are the type of school that refuses to put positive or negative status, then I'm anxious.

I also have "decision" as of yesterday. Hopefully that means something's in the mail.

TwinA · Post by **TwinA** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 9:26 pm

Considering the stats of everyone that has "decision," I'm thinking it's a good thing. They probably handed out "decisions" the the yes pile today and will begin looking at the "maybe" pile tomorrow. As I'm hoping to be in the "maybe" pile, it means more waiting.

My status changed dates from 12/2 to 1/15 but remained "in review." Not sure what that means...

i changed from in review (since 12/2) to "decision" (1/15). hmmmmm....is this my first ding?

Decision as well... I'm going to guess that most of them are acceptances based off the numbers of people going to decision.

natelaw · Post by **natelaw** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 1:51 am

Oh my god.... I went to decision today too!. Im pretty freaked. I have been dreaming about going to UW for a long time. I live in seattle, and walked by the law school so many times...... God I hope the early decision are acceptances.

Good Luck to everyone!!!!!

bingo · Post by **bingo** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 11:06 am

for those of you who have gone to decision (good luck!), when did your go complete? i went complete on 12/20 - still in review.

malagueno · Post by **malagueno** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 11:17 am

"In Review" today...but judging from the length of time some of you have had the same status I guess that's nothing to get too excited about.

ben1185 · Post by **ben1185** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 11:51 am

I went complete 11/13, In review 11/28.

Yikes! This gives me no hope of a decision until March!

Marmot · Post by **Marmot** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 12:03 pm

I'm beginning to doubt whether the UW adcomms actually look at anything before Jan. 15th. My overactive imagination also tells me they don't look at any out-of-state apps until they've admitted or dinged every Washington resident.

My chances are extraordinarily low number-wise, but I'm still holding out serious hope. UW has great public interest and international programs, plus I'm really dying to get back to Seattle after having lived there for a couple of years. I'll likely get into SU but it'll be hard choosing it over any of the east coast schools to which I've applied.

WAsRuralTransplant · Post by **WAsRuralTransplant** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 12:38 pm

If it helps with any of the speculation, I went to decision on 1/26 with a 3.8/169 and WA residency.

Also got into a good number of higher-ranked schools with the same essays, etc., so I would hope that there's nothing horrible in my UW essays to warrant a rejection or WL.

As a WA native, UW is one of my top choices. Nothing beats the PNW!!!

Amen.

My status checker changed on 1/26, but the decision was dated 1/15. I would assume that this means that my file was reviewed and decided on before 1/15, but they were holding off on notifications for some reason.

I think that turnovers will start coming faster, now that they have decided to release the first batch of decisions.

jcl2 · Post by **jcl2** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 2:58 pm

My status just changed to decision this morning (dated 1/18). I really hope it means something good is coming in the mail soon! I am a resident and UW is definitely one of my top choices.
For those of you that are interested I had been "in review" since 12/9, my LSAT is 75%, GPA a little less than 25%, + relevant M.S. and other good "softs"
