@sheare: okay thank you fhdjsk i think i just kinda needed to hear it from someone else, it's very easy to get inside your own head and overthink things during this process

sheare

17:31

I relate. Do yourself a favor and get yourself a therapist for this cycle, if you can hahaha

ReverseSplitterDreaming

17:38

Is there any reason why an RD applicant would go UR after me but get a decision before me?

ReverseSplitterDreaming

17:50

I'm also RD

sheare

17:58

Who knows? The ad comms are juggling so many apps around, and that renders the UR indicators as speculative at best

CravenSkinnyHavanese

18:36

what does ur mean

CravenSkinnyHavanese

18:36

under review?

ReverseSplitterDreaming

18:38

Yeah I'm hoping it's just a "that's just how things happen sometimes"

ReverseSplitterDreaming

18:38

Yes UR is under review

NaturalKindBarnacle

22:24

anyone got a uchicago status checker yet? mine has no check mark next to the cas report even though it shows as sent on LSAC

WhimsicalComplexTuatara

22:50

Will applying in December put me at disadvantage? I’m considering retaking LSAT 4th time. Have gotten 160 twice and first one was canceled

sheare

7:43

@NaturalKindBarnacle: I would send them a quick email or call.

sheare

7:43

They've been pretty quick about sending received/completed emails

sheare

7:44

@WhimsicalComplexTuatara: Are your practice tests higher? December isn't a bit later than ideal, but one extra point is worth it.

sheare

7:44

is*

HexagonSquare

12:12

@WhimsicalComplexTuatara: I'm also debating whether to take October or November, I feel like Nov I'd be more prepared but I don't want to apply so late

SecurityMatters

12:22

@NaturalKindBarnacle: Yes, I applied the morning of 02SEP and got a receipt email that afternoon.

SecurityMatters

12:32

For anyone who applied to Minnesota, I emailed their admissions office and they said they're experiencing delays in responding to applications due issues with their new database.

somethingspecial

13:33

Round 2 law school apps let's do this!!!

NaturalKindBarnacle

13:56

@SecurityMatters: and in your status checker did you see all items were checked?

crocluvr19

14:43

should i be worried i havent gotten status checkers from several schools i applied to on 9/10?

SpicyMushyEel

15:01

always take when you're more prepared IMO

SpicyMushyEel

15:01

3-5pts can be the difference between 0 dollars and 100k scholarship

somethingspecial

15:25

from what I'm reading applying in December shouldn't hurt you too much just make sure you have everything else in your app ready to go. Last year I had hangup after hangup and got pushed to apply at the very end of the cycle so I decided to pull my apps and try this year instead

HereticalWarmAntibodies

15:45

anyone else getting the "unknown error" for HLS?

[A] cryptanon

16:27

@HereticalWarmAntibodies: just fixed "unknown error" for HLS

HexagonSquare

17:29

Thanks guys, I'm gonna take in Nov & feel so much better about it

SecurityMatters

6:38

@NaturalKindBarnacle: Yes, all boxes checked and application was marked complete on the 14th

HereticalColdAntibodies

9:39

thanks @cryptanon! Can you make it so that I can leave "first choice school" blank? I don't love that there is no option for "blank" so it is currently sitting on golden gate

HereticalColdAntibodies

9:39

and their super hot night school babes

Petree

10:04

Does anyone know anything about St. John's video interview?

cryptanon

10:08

@HereticalWarmAntibodies: so it wouldn't show up in your profile at all?

abjectchickadee

10:46

@cryptanon: I think a couple schools (I've noticed this w usc and washu) have changed their status checker systems? Like instead of logging via a separate status check username and password, the status checker link takes you to the LSAC login page and you have to log in with your LSAC account

Petree

10:47

@allymcbeal: Hey there! They said that they'd be open October 1st.

abjectchickadee

10:48

idk if anyone else has noticed that change w some schools' status checkers

ponderosa

10:48

yeah I think it's a new thing, kinda interesting. You just login with your LSAC instead of making a dedicated login for the school

ponderosa

10:49

I think its kinda weird though because GWU can't even get it to work lol

abjectchickadee

10:49

have you figured out how to configure it on lsd? i haven't been able to!

ponderosa

10:50

nope but I also haven't really tried so probably not the best data point. I've been doing those ones manually

cryptanon

12:54

@abjectchickadee: thanks for the heads up, i'll update the bots for those schools

NameNotImportant

14:45

Im pretty convinced they made that switch because of these automated checker sites

SpicyMushyEel

15:32

anyone go UR at Chicago

cryptanon

16:12

maybe, but it'd be far easier and more effective to add a captcha to the login page. could just be LSAC trying to improve and streamline the experience

eastcoasthopeful

22:38

im UR @ uchicago @spicymushyeel

blinky07

7:52

thought it was nice to get a fee waiver from tulane, apparently it's waived for everyone

blinky07

7:52

well played

blinky07

7:52

this is like the 3rd school that has sent me those personalized fee waiver emails only for it to be waived for all applicants lmao

Hamotron

11:54

Anyone else have their Wash U interview today?

ReverseSplitterDreaming

13:10

ASU status checker reported a change but the status still is UR. Any reason behind that?

crocluvr19

13:56

im confused... ive been looking at the recent decision list and people are saying they're getting in at UVA and UGA and when I click on their profile it says school year 2021-2022 but some people have their sent dates as sep 4 and then other schools at dec 4... does the 2021-2022 mean last cycle or this cycle?

JoyousCeruleanHummingbird

13:59

Some people made mistakes in setting up their cycle apps

JoyousCeruleanHummingbird

13:59

2021-2022 is this cycle. Some people just accidentally put in their dates for last cycle this year

crocluvr19

14:02

thank you!

Hamotron

14:08

@ReverseSplitterDreaming: It probably means you went UR2. Did the status date change?

ReverseSplitterDreaming

14:25

Yes it changed to today. I didn’t know

ReverseSplitterDreaming

14:25

Oops. I didn’t know that ASU did UR2!

blinky07

15:05

happened to me too 4 days after I went UR @reversesplitterdreaming

blinky07

15:05

Still UR smh

ReverseSplitterDreaming

15:08

Oh wow so there may still be a bit more waiting

blinky07

15:14

I noticed that it happened to a batch of people

ReverseSplitterDreaming

15:26

Andddddd rejected

blinky07

15:49

oh no

blinky07

15:49

im sorry :(

ReverseSplitterDreaming

15:51

It’s okay. It’s good to have a feeler like this so I can continue to improve my application!

blinky07

15:51

fingers crossed now 🙏

blinky07

16:05

@ReverseSplitterDreaming: did your "file complete" date update on the status checker as well?

Hamotron

16:22

Sorry :(

Lost-In-The-Sauce

18:10

Sorry Mate

GoofyFuturisticFlounder

20:44

What do you guys look for in a law school that makes it a school you want to be at

SpicyMushyEel

21:10

just went UR2 at UVA

SpicyMushyEel

21:15

anyone else?

abjectchickadee

22:58

I went UR2 today too! I'd forgotten the feeling of getting a status update lmao

JoyousCeruleanHummingbird

23:33

Me too! Also went UR2 at UVA today.

JoyousCeruleanHummingbird

23:34

I just went UR1 on the 13th so I’m a little…concerned but hey, gotta chase those status change highs!

MagnificentBrightHare

6:16

I went UR2 at UVA yesterday too

abjectchickadee

10:35

I went UR1 on the 15th so it seems like Complete-UR1-UR2 moves pretty quickly this early in the cycle

JoyousCeruleanHummingbird

10:46

oooh, that's good to hear! I applied in Dec last cycle so things were not moving this quickly haha

songtoaseagull

16:05

is it a good sign if you move quickly to UR2? or does it matteR?

crocluvr19

16:55

What does UR2 mean?

sheare

11:11

@crocluvr19: So when you go to the status checker, there is a status type you'll receive called "Under Review"

sheare

11:11

It'll switch to it when your application is considered complete and undergoing review by the admissions committee

sheare

11:12

And you'll typically get a date associated with the status change. For example, let's say you went UR on 9/16

sheare

11:12

UR2 is when you're still Under Review but the date changes

sheare

11:13

It's speculated to be that your application has moved further along in the review process, went to a second ad comm, is prepared to make a decision soon, etc.

jberg

17:59

is it possible to search by ED or do we have to do that manually?

whyisthelsatsohard

22:10

so i submitted my apps today and am so confused on how to check status and link that to here, like do schools send an email with the log-in?

JoyousCeruleanHummingbird

23:13

@whyisthelsatsohard: congrats!! so yes, schools will send you an email with your log-in info. it might take a while for some schools, so don't get worried! i know for example that I think Mich said they wouldn't be sending out status checkers until October

JoyousCeruleanHummingbird

23:14

heads up too that some schools don't use status checkers!

abjectchickadee

9:32

ok so I wrote a one-page Why Notre Dame essay but now I'm looking at the instructions (which I should have done earlier) and it says "no more than two pages"

abjectchickadee

9:32

please tell me it won't look bad just to submit the one pager lmao

SpicyMushyEel

9:40

why essays are annoying sometimes

SpicyMushyEel

9:40

why do u want to go here

SpicyMushyEel

9:40

because you guys have good employment stats

SpicyMushyEel

9:40

...

SpicyMushyEel

9:41

but I think 1 page is fine

abjectchickadee

9:43

hopefully they think i'm enthusiastic AND concise

JoyousCeruleanHummingbird

10:36

I think 1 pg is totally fine

somethingspecial

12:10

Half the schools say "you have this amount of space but really we LOOOOVE concise writers." so as long as you felt like you got your point across then I wouldn't sweat the 1 pg part

crocluvr19

14:03

has anyone gotten status checkers from fsu, miami, or emory?

blinky07

15:35

nope @crocluvr19

blinky07

15:35

last cycle, they took awhile

HereticalColdAntibodies

16:20

@cryptanon: did you remove the option for "accepted, withdrawn" and "accepted, attending"? I don't see them in the dropdown

mv17

16:52

@crocluvr19: I have from FSU, however it shows my file is still missing materials from LSAC to this day when I submitted my app on the third of this month

blinky07

11:25

hoping for a random tuesday ASU wave

littleleafloaf

12:49

@blinky07: same ;(

abjectchickadee

13:42

Anyone else just get an LSAC forum follow-up email from an NDLS student?

deanzismyhero

20:41

has anyone heard anything from asu?

blinky07

20:43

3-4 people got accepted today according to reddit and lsdata

blinky07

20:43

not me tho smh

blinky07

20:43

fingers crossed soon

letstrythisagain

21:17

anyone else notice their percentile for june 2021 lsat revised down (slightly) or am I imagining things?

blinky07

22:18

yep haha, they all decreased

GeneralHallowedSetter

8:43

Everything 173 and below decreased I believe

SpicyMushyEel

8:56

yea mine went down 1 percentile point

somethingspecial

9:16

is anyone else getting the same email over and over again from utk that says it could take at least 8 weeks I've gotten like 7 of the same email

scottyjetpax

10:59

give penn state wave pls

Hobojoe

11:40

Is there anywhere where one can find the new percentiles? I am curious about where a 170 stands now

Unamused

11:54

@somethingspecial: yeah it's annoying the crap out of me--glad I'm not the only one getting them

UnbiasedCreepyChicken

14:05

@somethingspecial: YES! I have gotten every night at midnight since I applied

somethingspecial

14:49

Maybe I'll respond to the next one and see what they say

somethingspecial

15:03

I emailed them I'll let you know what they say

somethingspecial

17:31

@Unamused: They said they have fixed it now!

somethingspecial

17:31

@UnbiasedCreepyChicken: ^

Lost-In-The-Sauce

7:21

Does a school asking for residency information several weeks after applying indicate anything?

ColesLaw2022

9:31

It means they want to know where you live

ColesLaw2022

9:32

I don't think anything beyond that. Maybe a forgotten form where you were supposed to click non-resident or resident.

CrimsonBuffalo

11:05

Can we get some MFin waves

CrimsonBuffalo

11:05

Downside of applying early in the cycle...waiting forever for decisions.

ColesLaw2022

12:27

I'm trying to make myself patient and not worry till mid-November. ASU spoils us for real.

Nsqui

12:36

submitted ASU two days ago, rest of my apps going out this weekend... so it begins

ColesLaw2022

12:48

Good luck! That's so exciting

blinky07

14:05

ASU UR3?!?!?!?!

blinky07

14:08

this is the third time my asu app went ur

pilkyboids

14:11

People getting UGA acceptances who applied after me is making me think I'm getting donged...

Unamused

14:23

@pilkyboids: It's weird because when I met with an adcom a few weeks ago, they said they wouldn't be making any decisions until like Novemberish. The acceptances might just be extraordinary applicants

blinky07

14:23

I thought so too

blinky07

14:54

omg penn state A tho :')

somethingspecial

14:54

it happen to me for ole miss last cycle I applied late in the cycle and they were already full so they accepted me already for this cycle so it could be situations like that

Unamused

15:09

@blinky07: did Dickinson send you an e-mail yet?

CrimsonBuffalo

15:17

My ASU app just went UR again too

blinky07

15:17

not yet, I'm assuming they'll send one tomorrow honestly

CrimsonBuffalo

15:17

maybe a friday wave?

blinky07

15:17

@Unamused:

blinky07

15:17

@CrimsonBuffalo: i would love that... my asu app went ur THREE TIMES

Unamused

15:29

@blinky07: mine just came through!

Nsqui

15:34

For those who have received unsolicited fee waivers from schools, should those reflect when you first begin the application and it shows the application fee $ amount? Or does the waiver apply at the end when you're checking out?

KWFlyingMonkeys

15:46

@Nsqui: just did one and it showed up when you checked out as $0

KWFlyingMonkeys

15:51

@GoofyFuturisticFlounder: So I started this late last cycle which was not great but I learned a lot watching alot of people do well and alot of people fall flat. First, just like college apps have schools that are a resonable reach, a moderate chance, and fall back schools. Next thing and probably one of my biggest deciding factors was geography. Where I want to end up. (easier to land a job in x state if you are a graduate of a x state school). Look at good or bad reputations of the school. One

Nsqui

15:54

@KWFlyingMonkeys: Sweet, thank you

blinky07

15:54

@Unamused: mine just did too LOL

KWFlyingMonkeys

15:55

One lesson I learned last year, for first time appliers, is to keep all school status checkers the same password when you change it. They will send you a temporary log in and then you change. Somehow since it is all linked through LSAC, if you change one you will not be able to get in the others

ABC2022

Got the Kira Interview Invite from UT Law as a super reverse splitter...

Thanks. Excited :)

18:20

Has anyone heard from PennState Dickinson? I wish they were as speedy as ASU :(

blinky07

18:21

They do waves multiple days a week it seems

blinky07

18:22

Also, they don't do UR from what ive heard. Mine went from completed to an acceptance

JoyousCeruleanHummingbird

18:35

@SerbianKitty: I heard back in about 2.5 weeks, hang in there! :)

SerbianKitty

18:59

Ooooh! Congrats on your acceptance, Hummingbird!

TryingNotToObsess

19:08

What are your opinions on how many LORs to submit to Michigan? It says they require 1 but encourage 3 - I have 2 recommenders, do we think that is sufficient?

TryingNotToObsess

19:08

I don't really think I could get a third that would say anything different about me

MyGPASucks

23:27

I see that under URM you can specifically select your race and see that Middle East/ North African is an option. Does that mean North Africans get a URM boost?

MyGPASucks

23:28

I see some people getting into schools below both medians as a URM with that option selected. I was under the impression us Arabs are just "white"

sheare

8:09

Interesting. I'm half Arab, and I didn't even bother checking the URM indicator on this site

sheare

8:11

I didn't make it a huge deal on my apps because I had the same impression as you

SpicyMushyEel

8:20

theres no boost, I'm also middle eastern

JoyousCeruleanHummingbird

9:42

In at UGA!!

somethingspecial

10:06

*Insert Fireworks* Congrats!! I went there for undergrad :)

@CrimsonBuffalo: can i ask what your stats are??

blinky07

13:37

asu dong :(

CrimsonBuffalo

13:39

@songtoaseagull: my stats are super low. I think the only thing saving me is I’m an officer in the army, combat vet, non trad student

CrimsonBuffalo

13:39

I fully expect to be rejected from Cornell lol

TryingNotToObsess

13:46

so sorry @blinky07

ColesLaw2022

13:53

UR2 at Berkeley and UPenn. Wish me luck :0

ColesLaw2022

anyone ever respond to emails for events and thank them to show interest? A school id love to attend sent an email for an event happening but i work and its a 5 hour drive. id go if i could! not sure if this is a no no though as far as the email goes

Literally have all my apps completed and ready to go but I'm too afraid to press send lol

@Honeycomb94: I emailed the admissions office, they said they're going to take a while to get everything settled after a database shift, so hopefully they start reaching out soon!
