When did y’all get your status checkers?
I applied a few days before the deadline and haven’t received a status checker. I don’t know if this is a good or bad sign. I’m guessing that because I’m below both means that they didn’t review my application right away. Maybe held onto it because I’m URM NA. It’s kinda driving me nuts and I think I should start mentally committing to my lower T-14 acceptance
just email them and ask for it

Thank you. Is the Lawhub status checker accurate?
i'm sorry, i couldn't say. not familiar with it and haven't used it
just checked it and no, it's not accurate, at least for me.
I appreciate it. Mine updated a fews days ago saying that I’ve been submitted for review. A little frustrating.
I sent a nice email, hopefully it doesn’t impact anything. But who knows.
i doubt it. i sent one too and got in :)
Has anyone gotten off waitlist?
@AnxiousExistence: sorry I don’t know. I have Stanfords phd offer too so I entered the housing lottery before deadline and before I knew I was admitted
@LushEasyGibbon: I'm still on the waitlist. I've been scrolling here and Reddit, and I haven't heard of anybody get off the WL yet

Why not?
very small class size + looking at past cycles it seems they just accept few ppl in June and move on, but who knows
SLS sometimes takes ppl in August but I'm just managing expectations u know
