Hey guys, the portion of my status checker that shows what the status is disappeared. Did that happen to anyone else?
Happened to me too! Heard it means that a decision is coming... however I'm not sure if it'll be tonight or tomorrow
12:30
When did that happen for you? Mine has been this way for almost a week now :'( lol
same been about a week for me
18:22
Did anyone also apply to New England?
15:01
My status disappeared and the message that says my app is under review disappeared as well. Did anyone receive a decision shortly after that happened?
that happened to me and it reverted back to under review
no decision yet
does anyone have under requirement list, final transcript with degree conferred? don't know what to make of it
getting the sense that maybe they didn't receive my final transcript? haven't had any trouble with other schools
12:05
@HangingInThere: I do, but it's checked off.
@SuperEiyah: I did; NELB and UNH both. Being in NH and non-traditional, UNH was always my top choice. The offer from NELB would have had to have been AMAZING and UNH's close to nothing in order to make it worth the commute into Boston every day

Like they really didn't even reconsider me....

Some schools do not reconsider scholarships for anyone
They responded and said no because I don't have a new GPA or LSAT score xx <3
Just got accepted today. A $3,000 scholarship is kind of crazy though lol ik Suffolk is ranked higher, but the scholarships at NESL are so much better
It's not like Suffolk is ranked THAT much higher than the other schools around here
