Amazing, best of luck to everyone!
Anyone been and know some Pros and cons of Hastings
I got in but not sure if it’s right for me
this school has one of the strangest admissions graphs ever, very random
12:33
my status date changed to 3/5
17:42
@CatToeBean: same
17:43
So my status changed after supposedly being under review since 11/28, then I called… this is where it got weird. I asked what it meant to be under review again and they asked if I called the wrong school? Then said my application was under review for the first time on the 5th. Like wtf were you guys doing this whole time, incompetent adcomms
17:44
I literally can see on lsdata it said in review since the 28th of November… makes no sense to me but maybe I’ll be in review now lmao
does anyone have an idea when the next waves should be?
anyone have movement since the 2/23 wave?
I went UR2 2/27 but nothing since then
been UR since 12/19 /:

14:38
what does it mean if i submitted in late Dec and still not UR lol
my status date changed yesterday. hoping for a wave today!
does Hastings' status checker update when you're UR?
@mexicanellewoods: my application status changed to "your application is in review...." the day after i got the email my app was received. im not sure what it said prior to that but most likely just "application complete"
@wanderingpenguin: thanks! I asked because mine says "your application is ready to be reviewed" so I was wondering how long it would stay there lmao
@mexicanellewoods: yeah of course!! :) and itll definitely change when it's actually in review and they just say to wait at least 6 weeks
