Congrats to the recent admits! Still waiting to hear back.

How long did it take any of you recent admits to get a decision after status moved to under review?
VersedEnchantedCrab
17:26
Under review now. We shall see how it goes :]
VersedEnchantedCrab
17:26
Super excited!
12:13
Anyone have an idea why my application status went from under review to not showing anything? I applied on 10/18/2023
12:14
It was under review for several weeks so I'm worried something techy happened
12:09
Nothing to worry about, I've seen this happen with other schools
12:09
The LSAC portal is known to be buggy at times
12:09
Hopefully that means a decision is coming soon!
VersedEnchantedCrab
16:45
My status is gone too! Hopefully that means an A is on the way :]
10:57
Ope. Mine disappeared and now says decision rendered
VersedEnchantedCrab
11:51
Mine too! Did you get the email though? I haven't gotten it yet
11:59
Nope
VersedEnchantedCrab
12:30
Oof maybe we'll get them later in the day. Good luck to you
12:40
Just got an email!

13:47
Congrats! Me too :]
15:31
@VersedEnchantedCrab: Is Drake your top choice?
21:07

@MorningPercy: They are high for me. Great connections to the gov in Iowa/clerking and Des Moines is awesome
Woohoo! Good day for us!
@VersedEnchantedCrab: Agreed with you for those exact same reasons!

Applied a month ago and not even in review yet...
I applied in Dec but just took Feb LSAT and it says my application is not complete til I get my score UGH
I already submitted a score but took it again
@LawSchoolFinder: same thing happened to me. I applied on 01/31/24 with my Jan score but was already registered to take Feb. I got an email that my file was complete and in review a few days after applying but then I got a new email about a week later saying it was back to incomplete until my Feb score. Which I just got today (obvi) and it IS THE EXACT SAME SCORE lol. so they held on to my app for no reason haha
How long did it take to go Under Review at Drake? My application status has been stuck at Ready For Review for nearly 4 weeks!
12:58
My app did not move at all on LawHub. I just got the notif and the status said "Decision Rendered" and told me to check my email.
