Some Minor Questions

[Hutch976]

PowerScore Forum,

You (PowerScore the organization and this forum) have helped me so far! I seriously proselytize for PowerScore. I went from 150 to 166 because I used PowerScore. It has a versatile array of options to fit any budget, both monetarily and time wise.

While I await the decisions to come on in, I have a number of minor...and probably silly...questions. Many of these questions are frankly selfish and probably unanswerable. But I've been waiting for two and a half months, and preparing for this for almost two years now. So these questions that rattle around my mind need asking, if only for catharsis. So thank you for indulging me!


1. My status has changed three times for Notre Dame Law School (NDLS). On their website this means my application is moving through their normal process. However, does anyone have any spidey-senses or experience in this? If I were rejected would it only have moved once? Is there no way of telling this?

I want to tell myself that I have been looked at by three people. Other forums seem to correlate that UR3 at NDLS is a positive sign. I've read precisely two people who have mentioned this in all of the internet, so it's anecdotal evidence at best.

Thoughts?


2. Is there ever a point when I could reach out to the AC and ask if I could know if I am admitted before they officially release?

I would not do this before Jan 1 for any school. I would only consider doing this AFTER Jan 1 for schools I applied to BEFORE 15 Sep.

Is there some sort of unspoken protocol? Would I just assume I'm waitlisted at that point, or rejected?


Thank you! Good luck to everyone in the Admissions Quest.

Hi Hutch976,

I don't think you should read anything into the changes in status. Just take them to mean that your application is moving through the system and try to be patient. Get back into the ways you used to spend your free time before the long saga of studying for the LSAT and applying to law schools.

As for your second question, I don't recommend bothering admissions. No one is going to offer you inside or unofficial information just because you call. The only reason I would advocate reaching out is if you have a very near deadline to accept an offer from another law school--even then, you would contact them to let them know that, in case they can expedite their decision, not to find out unofficially whether you got in.

Try to just relax and enjoy yourself while there is nothing to do but wait!

Thank you! And once again solid advice for everyone...relax.

But sometimes these idle questions get the best of us!
