Unfortunately not. Although on LSD (lawschooldiscussion.org) several people got their acceptances before anything changed on their online status checker. Georgetown seems to be doing the same thing as well. Apparently schools don't want a million requests for decision status over the phone so they wait to change the online check until after they think you've received the letter/phone call. Hope this helps, if you hear anything different let me know. Good luck on your cycle, nice to see a fellow Hispanic doing well! FLJDHopeful

Questions Friday, November 28th, 2008 at 7:48 am
Hi,
Congratz on Harvard and Berkeley! You must be sooo, sooo happy.

I was wondering if you could please just tell me a little about yourself, to give me some insight...We basically have the same numbers, although I am applying next year. I was really thrilled to see someone with my numbers accepted this early in the game.

Is there any way you could give me any advice? What did you do as an undergraduate that set you aside from the rest? Was there something specific about your essays? etc. From one fellow applicant to another, I'm really interested.

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it! And CONGRATZ! You must be so happy! Happy Thanksgiving! – RickyT
