Like they wanna see their entire applicant pool before they start offering money. Like LS is merit based scholarship so to set the standards for offering the merit based scholarship they may be wanting to see their applicant pool to set it

@BreakableNonchalantBrain: I really hope so and that it is a good sign instead of a bad one
Do you y'all think it'd be worth applying now with a slightly lower-than-median LSAT or waiting and getting a better score? I don't want to wait too long like I did last cycle.

@NoisyIrateLoon: people said they got voicemails about it and I am sure the school will also send a detailed email as you can not retain or reference significant information off of a short phone call
@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: thank you, this gave me some peace of mind.

@MaxWoofBark: I just wanna go back to pending decision, them switching me back to under review makes it feel like a bad sign which sucks cause I'd pay that seat deposit over the phone if I got the A call.
i applied about 2 weeks ago and my status is still on pending verification for completeness anyone know what I should do or is this normal?
It's normal I'm pretty sure. Mine took around the same time before it went UR.
