Hey, just curious for those that received decisions, around what time would you say you were notified of them?
@Bobby101: i was a 10 week from submit to deision for me
That's crazy. I submitted 2 weeks ago. Just marked ready for review today.
I think it depends on when in the cycle you apply. I applied Feb 26, CAS report sent Feb 27, and got an email on Mar 8. I'm retaking the LSAT in June but it would have gone under review then
btw email was confirming that they reviewed my app but I said in a cover letter that I want to retake in June
