BC just went to the top of my Lawhub status tracker, but my application still just says complete. Has this happened to anyone else?
@8888887777776t6t: I spoke to both and they both place very well in BL especially for a school that isn't a t14
8888887777776t6t
15:47
@ColorfulThickBullfrog: thanks, that's helpful. When you say you spoke to both, do you mean that you spoke to people in the office of career services for both, alumni of both, both, none of the above?
@EnvironmentalLaw: Same happened to me a week or two ago. Went UR a week later. Not entirely sure what it means but I don't believe you are UR quite yet
@8888887777776t6t: I spoke to one of the Dean's at BU and an admissions specialist at BC. It's in my notes but one of them had 60% of their last class go into BL.

Good to know. Thx.
I’m guessing there will be one of their biweekly waves tomorrow

if my app just went UR today, does that mean i probably won’t hear tomorrow? I applied in november

@yellowtomato: mine went UR the day before the last wave and I haven't heard yet :/
yellowtomato
16:04
@ecko: ugh ok, thanks for letting me know!

does the bc status actually say ur? last I heard it only marks as completed with a date change
yellowtomato
12:18
@willypetey27: my tracker through lawhub recently updated to in review, but my tracker that i received from BC in the email after i applied still says complete
WillyPetey27
12:37
@yellowtomato: oh??? interesting, mine was marked completed a month after it was marked just complete. thanks!
Does BC usually just do 1 wave when they release? Are we likely to get another wave later today? This one seems much smaller than previous based on data here

Are we sure that the waitlist document section is there for everyone ?
yep been there for me

Has anyone who's been admitted, as a regular decision applicant, received scholarship information yet? I received access to something like an admitted students portal, but I haven't look through all the data yet. As I recall, when I looked at it last, some page said that scholarship info would be sent out in March. But I'm not sure if that's true for everyone or not.

all the info, pages of text, etc. on the admitted students portal*
@MiniatureMachoYeti: I noticed that section on my LSD status checker a few days ago. I received my WL Feb. 1st
15:14
BC went to the top of lawhub today 👀
did the status change tho?
13:55
my status changed on lawhub the other day to under review
WL today after 3 months of waiting ...
guess that's the norm
15:00
is BC wave over today?
CurtsyingKing
15:07
i'm wondering the same, are people still getting decisions

So having a waitlist document section is normal? That's not indicative of anything?
you have to log in to BC to get your admission letter, it just said that the status had been updated but they didn't email the letter directly
@8888887777776t6t: BC has higher BL placement than BU. idk about portability for BU but BC has good networks in the Bos-Wash corridor and apparently Florida and California as well. Most people I've talked to (from MA) rate BC higher but that may be an anecdotal bubble. For me, I am choosing between UMN, UGA, and BC, all of which gave me around the same $
