Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you
If your LSAT and GPA is below the median will you hear within the 6-8 week timeline they provide when your app goes under review or will you hear later
14:09
no one could say for sure
I called yesterday to see if the 6-8 week timeline was still in effect and they told me that the 6-8 week is an idealistic goal, but that it would reaslitically be "much, much longer" than 6-8 weeks.

@depressoespresso: they usually do this thing where they put a bunch of people on hold until March. I am expecting to get my hold sometime in December

looks like the wave was today!
My date and banner disappeared on Monday and then after the wave, came back. Now showing 11/19 for the date.
feels like a bad omen but we'll roll with it
hoping that means you're getting an A this week or next!!
11:25
We'll see what happens in two weeks. December 2nd or 3rd probably for next wave (obligatory nothing is guaranteed).
Seems like they've been releasing every other Monday... let's hope 🙏
Do you think they will release a wave tomorrow?
Also, does anyone know what time they typically send them out? I’ve seen 9am and around 4pm
