If your LSAT and GPA is below the median will you hear within the 6-8 week timeline they provide when your app goes under review or will you hear later
14:09
no one could say for sure
I called yesterday to see if the 6-8 week timeline was still in effect and they told me that the 6-8 week is an idealistic goal, but that it would reaslitically be "much, much longer" than 6-8 weeks.
