@SplittingNotQuitting: If you click on the name, you'll likely notice that they are updating their profile with decisions received on multiple different days.

Ah, I understand. I was under the impression it was interfaced with the automatic status updater. Thanks.

@SplittingNotQuitting: I actually haven't seen anyone on here say that the automatic status updater works. Just lots of questions from individual users as to why they can't get their updater do work 🙃

Haha. I was wondering how legit it was. I'll just continue to watch my LSAC status tracker and email like a hawk.

Is a $30k total difference in COA between two similarly ranked schools too much? Even if the most expensive one has a niche concentration I want to pursue?

UnderRepresentedTryhard

22:54

uhhh if you're rolling in dough (hundreds of millions to billions) sure...but if you're taking out a loan, don't do it. You can pursue what your niche falls under and their may be a course that teaches that niche. check courses if they're available tho
