Re: UF Law C/O 2021 Applicants
Mine is saying the same thing about no decision made. Do we think thats bad? Im a reverse splitter, I could potentially take the December LSAT but im not sure when they'll be telling me and if its worth taking it again.

I also wonder if it's worth taking the LSAT again. I wish they would give us a timeline on when to expect a final decision.

Thanks, same to you!
That's what I'm thinking. I hope I don't get offered zero. FSU offered full tuition as well. Maybe I should give the office a call?

Does anyone know how long it generally takes them to make an update from the "no decision made" status?

Re: UF Law C/O 2021 Applicants
I'm not sure - it almost seems like a modified waitlist - apparently the committee continues to review applications and the HOLDs competitively.... I assume we won't hear anything until Feb.... Just a guess though.DCKMK13 wrote:KPUSN07 wrote:Same thing.kmac1243 wrote:Update: my status date didn't change (was put on hold 10/30) but the text above the date changed from "Initial Review Complete" to "Review Complete-No Final Decision Reached-Explanation below."

Re: UF Law C/O 2021 Applicants
If I have the “review complete-no decision rendered” status, is it worth sending a LOCI or should I wait until they actually make a decision?

Re: UF Law C/O 2021 Applicants
Pretty much everyone gets this “no decision made” status. I applied last cycle—submitted October 30th or 31st, no decision made early December, acceptance early January (with an 80% scholarship).KPUSN07 wrote:I'm not sure - it almost seems like a modified waitlist - apparently the committee continues to review applications and the HOLDs competitively....

What were your numbers? My LSAT is above 25% but below median, and my UGPA is below 25% (no curve though at the Academy)....hegotmoneyyyyy wrote:Pretty much everyone gets this “no decision made” status.

Re: UF Law C/O 2021 Applicants
Maybe wait until they make a decision. You can always email them and see what, if any, additional materials they need for your application. As much as it sucks, that “no decision made” status just means more patient waiting on our partsEli1 wrote:If I have the “review complete-no decision rendered” status, is it worth sending a LOCI or should I wait until they actually make a decision?

Re: UF Law C/O 2021 Applicants
Wait until they make a decision - no need for an LOCI - I sent an email saying I'm still very interested in the school, but was short, sweet and to the point.kmac1243 wrote:Maybe wait until they make a decision.

Funny thing happened today: I'm an intern at the FL House of Representatives and was taking the elevator in the Capitol building. The doors opened, and standing there was President Fuchs! I almost had a full blown anxiety attack, but I kept my composure and introduced myself. I told him I had applied to UF Law, and that UF has always been my top choice, blah blah blah. We talked for a few minutes, then when he went to leave he said "Go Gators, Kelly!"
I hope to take this as a sign...
With that...has anyone heard anything??? Any status changes???

Here are the responses:
1. Does this institution make a distinction between held and wait-listed applicants? If so, what criteria differentiates the two?
Held files - a final decision (admit or deny) has not been reached
Waitlisted files - the applicant has been offered a position on the wait list, and should he/she choose to remain on the wait list, could potentially be offered admission through early August.
(Answer after I clarified my initial question) Wait list and initial deny decisions are usually released in close proximity; however, the dates vary each year.
2. Are applicants rejected throughout the cycle or are rejection decisions made and issued in early Spring only?
Applicants may be denied at any point during the application cycle; however, the first denies typically occur in early Spring.
3. Is it likely that a held applicant could receive an updated application status by the end of January/early February? If not, when could a held applicant reasonably expect to receive a status update?
Final decisions are made on an ongoing basis. Held files may be updated in as little as a few weeks, or the process could extend several months.
Hope this info helps satisfy our (now) neurotic curiosities *blows kisses*
And nope, no status change for me. #kayneshrug

Re: UF Law C/O 2021 Applicants
Smitty thank you so much for all that info!!! It’s really helpful.
I bit the bullet and decided to retake the LSAT in February. I was on the fence about it and wish I had made the decision before the deadline for December, but I feel my LSAT isn’t competitive enough at this point for a decision that’s not the waitlist. I’d rather be held for a few more months and improve my LSAT score than be waitlisted or even denied. My LSAT is currently at their 25th, GPA a little higher but not much. I sent them a LOCI as well as notification of my retake and they said the following:
“Yes, an increased LSAT score can be a factor in the re-review of your file. However, different files are held for various reasons. An increased LSAT score, of course, does not guarantee admission.
If at all possible, applicants with future test scores will not receive a final decision until that score is released. Your letter of continued interest has been added to your file.”

Hello I’m new here. First time posting. May I ask when you applied? I have almost the exact same stats (3.2 GPA with 2 BAs and 161 LSAT) and I’ve had the ‘no final decision made yet’ status since November 21st.

Re: UF Law C/O 2021 Applicants
Has anyone who got the "no final decision made" status seen any movement yet? Should we expect to not hear anything until after the December LSAT scores/applicants are considered?
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
