Go ahead and email it to them. My interview request came a few days after I submitted mine.tominusprime wrote:I submitted 11/8 and went complete 11/9, and while I haven't received a rejection, I haven't received an interview request, either. All it says in the checker is, "Your Texas Law application file is complete and ready for review as long as we have received your CAS report," and LSAC confirmed that the report was requested and sent.
Anyway, all that to ask a potentially dumb question: I've been thinking about submitting a Why Texas essay while I wait for a rejection or interview request, but do they usually ask for that specifically or do they expect you to turn it in unsolicited?

They usually ask for it if you're OOS but I'd definitely write one unsolicited if I didn't have clear ties to the area.tominusprime wrote:Anyway, all that to ask a potentially dumb question: I've been thinking about submitting a Why Texas essay while I wait for a rejection or interview request, but do they usually ask for that specifically or do they expect you to turn it in unsolicited?
edit: whoops, didn't see wmbuff's response. I'd just echo what he said.
Yeah it seems to vary a lot; mine had a ~15 hour turnaround between confirmation email and interview invite. (ahhhhhhhh! so freaking excited.)saltshaker wrote:Nope; it took me 10 days. 7 days since going complete.SusanSays wrote:Thanks. Seems it takes more than a month to receive interview request

Did my Texas interview today. No Why Texas question, which surprised. Also no request for a Why Texas essay. I'm out of state, so I just keep waiting for it.

Might be random.

Re: Texas Law Class of 2021 Applicants (2017-2018 cycle)
I received my interview invite this afternoon, and I just completed my interview. I got through all of the video questions without an issue, but I ended up scrapping me essay half way through and switching to something totally different so the time crunch got me. I think I answered the question pretty clearly, but I can't guarantee that it was perfectly written. How much weight do y'all think they give the written section, or the interview in general for that matter? I am in-state and already submitted a Why, so my question wasn't Why Texas.

Interesting! I had already submitted a Why, and still got it for my written question. It felt like a softball, having already done my research.HenryHankPalmer wrote:I received my interview invite this afternoon, and I just completed my interview.

Rejected. Splitter, applied early, no interview, no why Texas. You might wanna send in that Why Texas if you're thinking about it!

This is credited. I'm also a splitter, and sent a Why Texas, then got the interview request soon after. Still pending, but that's a better place to be than rejected.split_777 wrote:Rejected.

Still no movement. I guess I'd better submit a why Texas before they reject me.

Anyone know how many people get interviews? Is it a good sign?

ED, just got held for RD. OOS with low LSAT and high GPA. Any chance they offer me any scholarship money? I would assume not, hence why they held me for RD.

Re: Texas Law Class of 2021 Applicants (2017-2018 cycle)
I'm ED, applied in early October, and have heard nothing. I was under the impression that submitting a Why Texas on top of applying ED was redundant, but I'm starting to reconsider. Maybe I should submit one anyways...wmbuff wrote:RD.ebrook93 wrote:Are you ED or RD?wmbuff wrote:This is credited.
