This whole “Application has been reviewed and is pending a decision” update status is cruel and inhumane

I've been on "pending decision" since 4/15. Is that a bad sign? I'm way above the 75th LSAT but nervous.

The fact that I got WL but have 2 friends that received 153 LSATs and got A leaves me speechless.

Any updates on their waitlist? I was hoping to see some movement now that we've passed their seat deposit deadline.

Any ideas why a bunch of schools Tuitions have changed to 0? Is LSD just in the process of updating their data?
