Got a call from a California number and got so excited, but then it was a 949 (Irvine) and no voicemail, so probably just a wrong number. :(

So at what point should we stop checking our phone every few minutes (you know...in case the ringer stopped working) for the day? 5pm PST/8pm EST or earlier? FWIW, application complete on 11/1, UR on 11/16. LSAT>75%, 75%>GPA>50%

If it makes y'all feel any better, latest application I saw that received an acceptance was mid-october (if you applied earlier than that, I bet they're just making the phone calls alphabetically [if your name is early in the alphabet, I'm sure they're just making the calls randomly]).

Congrats to all accepted!

Anyone have any prediction as to when people who submitted last week (like me!) will hear?

Based on my experience of last year and the fact that they started accepting people later this year, no. :D I just went complete today so I'm in the same boat

Are they done matching scholarships? The website says it was discontinued for the 2017 admissions cycle. Is this the 2017 admissions cycle or the 2016 admissions cycle?

Hoping this means they'll just offer $$$ without making us ask to match with another offer.
