most people who applied around my time (on this site) have a decision by now. I wanna say this can only be a good sign but maybe they're just really torn between R and WL lmao
12:48
So I take that to be bad news..
Anyone thinking we’ll see some WL action soon with their first deposit being due yesterday?

Anyways, I emailed them on April 16th and this is what they said to me: Thank you for reaching out about your status and for your patience during the process. I know it has been a challenging cycle for applicants, and we are a bit delayed getting some decisions out because both our volume and quality is up. I understand you may have deadlines coming up quickly at other schools, and, unfortunately, we can't give you a final decision right now as we are in a bit of a holding pattern. We are evaluating the deposited pool after our 4/15 deadline just passed, and we have some outstanding admits with a 4/30 deadline. I anticipate being able to give you a decision in the next 2-3 weeks.
Anybody still waiting on a decision? I feel like a big part of every weekday for me now is googling 'what time is it in minnesota right now'

anyone on the waitlist have "waitlist-high interest" as their substatus? I know mine did not say high interest before but not sure when it changed
@DivergentSpikyDragonfly: yeah I have this too. I'm curious about the timelines of other people who have been admitted since the deposit deadline - anyone got info on this?
I just applied recently but they have my app on hold for me retaking the LSAT in October. They are very nice! toured there in April. I would love to even get WL'ed here
Has anyone done the Minnesota Kira yet? Is there any crazy questions on it?
@LordSplitterXVIII: yes it's kinda random but it's fun
I just did it, it's very lowkey, not stressful at all
yeah super chill
20:01
How long did it take for you guys to hear back from your first school? Whether a rejection or acceptance
20:02
UMD is my first choice and I've heard that they can take a while
20:02
oops, wrong chat
@GPASufferer: lol I applied there as well
looks like we got a wave. ugh this is my top choice I need an answer soon
adcomms told me after thanksgiving so not bad
18:59
