status date finally reappeared 12/12. how long does it normally take to get a decision after it reappears?

Don't know. Some people report theirs coming back next day. Mine reappeared on the 3rd and still hasn't changed.

I don't know if this is relevant to anyone, or if anyone has experienced this.... but about a week ago I received an email asking me to write an addendum regarding the difference in my 2 LSAT scores. Now, my status checker's "being reviewed" date has changed from 11/10 (the date of the first time it went under review) to 12/10, the date I sent in the addendum. Does this mean the whole process has started over again, or does it meant that they have progressed with regards to my application?

Got my e-mail today and I'm in! Went complete 11/3 and status changed to "being reviewed" on 12/1.

Question - for those of you who've also heard back, did your e-mail include any mention of scholarship info? I want to email Admissions to find out, but perhaps a small period of grateful waiting is appropriate before my money requests begin?

For those waiting, good luck!

Website says scholarships will go out starting at the end of January.

Update guys: I got an email last night saying I was waitlisted. Now I have to reply saying whether I want to remain on the waitlist or be removed. Do you think it's worth it to stay on? I don't really think they'd be quick to offer substantial scholarships to waitlisters... Input?

[mmlarell]

Waitlisted.

I haven't had a status checker for over a month... Anyone else having this? I feel like I got lost in admission purgatory

Might as well stick around on the waitlist and see what happens. It's not like it's a ton of extra work to stay on it. Sometimes schools offer big $$ off the waitlist because people withdraw, which opens up $$ and they need certain numbers to fill their class so they go to the waitlist to get those numbers.

Yea I submitted the 11/16, based on acceptances on this thread it looks like decisions have been taking around a month, it would be nice to hear something soon.

My status changed to "being reviewed" on 11/13, but then yesterday the status and the date disappeared and has yet to reappear. It's magic.

Thanks! Yea I was "being reviewed" since I went complete. I don't have any crazy good numbers or anything so I'm pretty happy about this one

Yes Im glad to see you got in because we have similar numbers though I applied a bit later, congrats again!

[diva857]

Waitlisted

I'll be riding this out for awhile though!

[cuboxing25]

kind of freaking out as people with my numbers are either being waitlisted or accepted.

[louisv123]

How long did it take you admitted people to get your packet in the mail after the email? I want it now!!!

[Iwanttolawschool]

If people who have been accepted or waitlisted, PM me what your stats were. I still don't have a status checker for BC. I am curious where I may stand.

[ineedacupofcoffee]

Waitlisted, but not torn up about it because I'm iffy on their LST stats.

[hearsay77]

In this morning!

[cuboxing25]

In this morning!

[hearsay77]

In this morning!

via email?

Yup!

Accepted on Monday via email (totally unexpected since they were holding for my Dec LSAT, as are all my other schools - not sure why that changed). My acceptance letter arrived in the mail yesterday. Scholarship info to come in January.

[Dr. Nefario]

Congrats to all you new acceptances! Welcome to the scholly wait! Is anyone planning on going to ASW on Feb. 20th or know if they do any travel stipends?
