I wonder when the end of January submits are going to hear back.
That’s a great question, is there a deposit deadline coming up at some point that may influence decisions?
Deposit deadlines are due 4/15 for my other schools... so I hope to hear before then
I applied in early December and still haven't heard back... anyone else?
DiligentSmoggyFlamingo
20:32
still nothing...

im hoping this upcoming week will be more fruitful
Is anyone else not able to input a school decision right now>
Seems like USD really only puts out decisions on Tuesdays
Just give me my R so I can move on :'(

Is the status checker moving before yall get your responses?

@whoopsiedaisy: delete the school and re-enter everything again, it will work. I figured out today, it was so annoying
where is usd this week :(

I am so shocked they have been silent.
DiligentSmoggyFlamingo

I am so over waiting.
Can they hurry up and give me my R
I am fairly confident they are waiting on people to decline offers at this point in unison with some deposit deadlines coming up.
And the next waves will be to cage their LSAT and GPA medians
@TediousBrightPossum: real id like to move on with my life
yeah looks like last year people who applied later in the cycle didn't hear back until may or June

i didn't feel like january was THAT late but maybe I am wrong
DiligentSmoggyFlamingo
15:58
so I should expect nothing from them until mid-April?
it probably depends on your stats as well, but I'd say that's a safe guess!

I'm right on both medians that's why I am kinda sad.
