@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?

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 $
anyone else's status checker detect movement? I was WL Feb. 1st so movement now is strange to me especially because the seat deposit hasn't passed yet... fingers crossed this is a good sign!

how long between applying and hearing about admissions?
Are we going to get scholarship info at some point? I'd really like to get it before the deposit deadline.
I assume BC knows that FAFSA is super slow and that lots of people have submitted their FAFSA already but that it's still in review.
Got the scholarship offer today. Happy with it all things considered.
