Tell us what's important to you
Everyone needs to go UR2 but not necessarily UR3
Is there any way to do the shift click on data to filter by more than one thing if you are on mobile

do we thnk there will be a wave next week or only one major one at the end of the month
20:37
Like everyone who went UR2 around the same time as me has a decision, I’m conflicted about whether this is good or bad hahah
So when does Penn send another E wave? They just moved to the top of my law hub
Taking over a month to go complete -- after applying on the later side to begin with -- was not a pleasant feeling.

Did anyone else who got waitlisted see it on their status tracker but never got an email?

How is it that applicants who applied after me are already UR and I'm still complete and in queue for review?
If i went under review 3/6 and just had another update today, does that sound like an incoming R? seems like quick turnaround

15:11

15:12
hoping its good news, but my GPA sucks

Barbz
18:51
How do you know if you are UR2 or UR3
@Barbz If that school moves to top of Lawhub, and UR2/UR3 is when under review date changes even when your status doesn't change
Does anyone ever get off the WL at Penn? Why do they WL so many?
15:29
