Does anyone else's status checker say it will take 10 days? I was looking at past posts and it seems like it said a week for people who got in...

Feeling nervous... I wish they would just tell us!

I received my admit email the same day as when the status checker changed to 'decision rendered,' but I do remember seeing people say on past threads that it took longer for them. I guess I was lucky! Good luck everyone!

Decision rendered 2/1 and got my admitted email today!
Surprising because mine said within ten days

Hastings really is taking their time this year! UR since mid-Jan, seems like it's usually faster than this. Sincerely, impatient

UR 1/13, well above both 75ths.. does anybody know if Hastings gives full schollys?

[adidasz]

In via email eaaaaaarly this morning with some money!

[brewpub16]

Checking in. Went 'Decision rendered" on Feb 1st, says to expect an email within 10 days but thus far, there has been no movement (checked spam folder as well). Should I be worried?

Yes, Hastings offers schollys up to full, though usually only with a competing full offer from another school.

[adidasz]

Has anyone started negotiating?

[brewpub16]

Are decision emails ever sent on Saturdays?

Did you get an email specifically that you went under UR, or did you just see it under status checker?

[Downwardoggo]

What is the deal with the scholarships being 'confidential'? Can we not use their offer to negotiate?

Not sure! That's a good question though.

When did you apply? I applied in early December and am still under review. I find it strange that I haven't had a status change since December 6th.
LSAT: 159
GPA: < 25%
Really great softs, 3 years out of undergrad.

I dont have a response but confidential is pretty clear in its definition. You are not supposed to share the number which means you'll have to be vague in your negotiations.

I saw it on the status checker

When they say scholarship is confidential like how will they know that you told? Do they really crack down on this?

I used mine to negotiate. Nothing happened and I got a bump.
