Any insight into when/if there will be waitlist movement?
@PreciousThinkableDevil: im manifesting it to be soon! did you interview yet?
@CaringAbundantClam Yeah, I did! You too?
I did, did you feel like it was an odd interview? @PreciousThinkableDevil
@CaringAbundantClam: it felt pretty casual, but I actually really liked that. I tend to feel better in interviews like that. I just got the call this afternoon! Hope you hear soon too!
Hi all- need to know what my realistic chances are. I have a 3.54 LSAC GPA and a 167 LSAT. My GPA started off bad, but I have had a 3.97 for the past 6 semesters. BYU undergrad.

3.65 and scoring around 167 on practice tests. T3 softs and some good experience
14:27
Dead chat or?
Idk lol. I am applying here but I'm hoping for BUI
14:34
I just want to have some more movement. None of the schools other than WUSTL and ASU have been doing anything
14:34
for the ones I've applied to*
I have a 3.99 gpa but only 157 lsat do you think I could get in with a scholarship? ?
9:43
@PermissibleFlagrantGreyhound: honestly dude, I've stopped asking that question and for your mental health, I would too. These applications and people getting in with what they have are so all over the place that makes me think it really is a holistic process
9:44
So to be honest, no clue. But fuck whatever I say mate, not only am I a Canadian but a first time applicant. Just hope for the best and be so delirious with positive thinking you'll get it.
i have a 3.52 and 167, I am hoping for a scholarship because nonresident tuition is bullshit when I have been at BYU for the past 2 years
11:07
Does anyone know when the first round of RD get sent out usually? I applied back in September, and the website said 6-8 weeks from the beginning of September. But I was wondering if anyone had any better guesses?
@QuirkyBison: They said 6-8 weeks *from the start of November* So I would imagine anywhere from the 15th to the end of the year in your case
11:13
You're absolutely right. I don't know why I typed September haha.
10:59
Anyone got a guess as to why they are taking extra long this year compared to last?
17:13
I think they just barely welcomed a new dean of admissions -- that's my guess
18:21
Did they call or email those who got accepted?
