@BobbiRambles Ugh, sorry friend
@legallydillydallying: Do you have an updated status or does it say you're still UR?

@WhisperingMagnificentDeer: still UR, no changes other than a new, ominous, empty mailing section

no date change, no movement on lawhub
I'll be honest, I feel like I've had that for a while in my portal and haven't had a response/movement.
On the other hand, I didn't get access to the portal until about 3.5 weeks ago since I never got the login info. Admissions said they were having issues with certain email domains apparently. Whether or not that's true idk.

By the way, just got a response from them about an update on the application. The admissions person said "Please note that our 1L class for Fall 2024 has been filled. Our office is in the process of sending out remaining decisions with the possibility of some applicants being waitlisted. "

Shoot. I was about to email lol
Man, I feel then for feb applicants. It's full before even getting to them
me, a feb applicant ):
uh oh i also have that section- does that mean its a no lol?
I feel like at that point they might as well refund your application.
lol ikr. i got fee waivers for every school i applied to (17) except Stanford

@Sippingthestars: same. I have lsac fee waiver and even then, sls didn't waive my fee. Feb applicants in the trenches :'(
wait is May 15th their first deadline
I'm pretty sure May 1 was the original seat deposit. Those with late April As might have a slighter later deadline. My guess would be May 10

i think someone reported may 15th deadline for later admits, if I'm not mistaken
does anyone know when waitlist movement typically starts? I was thinking maybe June?
