Top Law Schools

Has anyone here applied to Catholic U? I sent in my app in the very beginning of November, but have not yet received a status checker email, or an application received email. Does anyone know how this works with Catholic? Thanks!

Edit: edited subject

I spoke with an admissions rep a couple weeks ago who said they were going to start reviewing apps last week.

Thank you !

I applied around the same time. I did get a status checker email, but it has just said "Your file is complete" for a couple weeks now.

Just got an email that I'm complete and ready for review.

FYI, they said if you submit by Dec 1st, you'll receive a decision by Dec 22nd.

Last cycle, Catholic was the school I heard back from last.

I went complete very quickly at Catholic. I got the same thing the others described about hearing a decision before the new year. I guess that's better than no timetable at all.

Should I contact them tomorrow because I haven't received an email from them yet? I know LSAC sent my report a few weeks ago... hmm

I applied to Catholic about 10 days ago and got an email from them the next day I applied and I just recieved another email today that my file is complete. Catholic is one of the few schools I have heard.
In the email it says those whose applications is complete before Dec. 1st will most likey hear a decision by Dec. 22nd.

Ok, this is crazy !!!

I called today to ask about my app, and the guy said he has it. But I have YET to receive an email, and I sent my app in the first few days of November!!! Should I be worried??? I am worried now ! Why didn't I get an email??

OK honestly, CUA was the worst school I applied to last year, and it was also the worst with communication. Not sure if they are related or not. I had autoadmit numbers but they still took forever to process the app, sent me emails with broken URLs (in duplicate) and were just all around irritating.

When you say it was the worst you applied to, do you mean in terms of ranking? And where do you go to law school now? And I will eventually hear from them despite their communication problems, right?? (sorry for all the questions)

yes in terms of ranking

i'm not in law school now. i got some apps in last cycle and realized I didnt want to matriculate that year, so I took another year off. I have apps out this year but am not sure if I want to do law or a Masters program.

You'll hear from them eventually. Good sign if they have a status checker! They didn't have that last year.

Just heard back. In! Got 2 emails: an acceptance email, and a scholarship offer email.

in this morning with a nice chunk of change.

I'm VERY frustrated. I sent in my app November 5 to most schools, and within 3 days I was complete at ALL schools (had status checkers), EXCEPT for Catholic. I called them again yesterday and they said my application was under review, but I have not received a status checker to date. What should I do?

Relax.

My case is opposite of yours. The first school I heard after I sent applications was Catholic and I went complete very quickly. However, my status says "Complete" since then

Wish I could relax! Did anyone else hear back from Catholic ?

I'm just worried, cause what if I won't hear from them even if I am accepted, because they didn't send out a status checker to me? I mean I called them twice, what is up with them? Why can't they send me a freaking status checker?

Not to feed your anxiety, but after I applied, I and went complete/under review the next day via status checker and email--I applied 2 weeks ago.

Did you at least confirm with the admissions person that you were complete, even without a status checker? If you did, then I think you can relax a little bit.

I went complete 11/16 and did not receive any status checker or anything.

I heard back from Catholic yesterday. Same deal, 2 emails. One congratulating me, the other with a scholarship.

Just called again, they said I went complete on 11/12, but a decision hasn't been made yet. She said definitely by the 22nd, but hopefully within the next week. I hope I get in, I just really wanna go to a school in DC, and this is the only one I have somewhat of a shot at now.

Has anyone heard anything?

I was accepted with $ on 11/24 by email. I never got a status checker.
