I, too, registered for the December LSAT well after submitting my app. Does your status checker still have a check mark next to LSAT score?

It does have a check mark but status only said "received"

I called and told me my app was on hold because of December LSAT.

hmm I was wondering this too, I've been on received for quite some time now and figured it may have been bc of the dec test but wasn't sure since the LSAT box is checked

You should definitely call and ask. I'm sure your status doesn't say complete because you are registered for tomorrow's lsat

mine still says under review. I'm being pessimistic but my guess is that people who got accepted got the status checker changed but others who didn't get in didn't.
Agreed...but hopefully this status checker changing comes in waves...I’ll be refreshing anxiously throughout the day...

I got the same message on the status checker. No phone call or email yet since it's not even 9am yet on the West Coast. Let's hope it's not a bug because this is the best thing to happen to me in a long long while.

I guess because they can't call all ED applicants at the same day, so they just stop doing it at all? But I do hope we at least get an email. I'm not sure whether Berkeley has ever notified applicants by email before?

I've seen news about schools withdrawing drawing admission because of a system bug and I'm little worried.

Relax! They probably won't start calling people until the afternoon West Coast time.

Yeah, definitely this. I wasn’t ED, but when I got the call it didn’t come until 4:30 PM PST. So I wouldn’t worry about not getting a call yet

That explains a lot. I was told schools would not hold my application, so now I need to figure this out. What did you say to them when you called, and what was their response? Any indication as to whether your other schools have done the same?

So if our checker didn't change, then we didn't get ED?

Columbia, USC, and I guess Berkeley hold your applications if you are registered for a future LSAT.

I just called and asked why my status said "received" since its been over a month since I submitted application. Was told because I was registered for Dec. LSAT.

I went through all my status checkers and if any did not say "Complete" I would assume its because of Dec. LSAT since I submitted apps in October.
