Additional Information

01/06/09 - called Rutgers because they haven't cashed my check yet after 6 weeks and they told me that they are really backed up due to the holiday season.

01/06/09 - per one TLSer who called Brooklyn, they confirmed that you are complete once the checklist indicates that there are no missing documents in your file. So I marked myself complete at BLS since 12-04-08.

12/27/08 - it looks like this is going to be an extremely painful cycle for me since I am not an auto-admit at any of the schools that I am applying to. It is so nerve-racking to see that people who went complete after me already got their decisions and I am still in a limbo...

12/12/08 - Hofstra status checker says that my file has been in review since 12/3. Hopefully the decision arrives soon.

12/9/08 - complete at Cardozo: " We will notify you by regular mail of your status as soon as a decision has been made."

12/8/08 - just came back from my interview at Pace and I am extremely impressed: beautiful campus and the nicest people ever in the admissions office. I was interviewed by an alumnus and he was extremely respectful, positive and inspiring. Would have to relocate for this one though - it took me 1 hour to get to Midtown :-(

12/4/08 - there are no missing documents in the BLS checklist in the status checker. I guess this means I am complete...

11/25/08 - complete at Rutgers. Email advised that the decision will be reached in 6-8 weeks.

11/25/08 - scheduled an interview at Pace for December 8th. Really excited about Pace's environmental and international law programs.

11/25/08 - "application received" email from Hofstra. Another email will be sent once my docs head into review

11/25/08 - "application received" email acknowledgement from Cardozo. Another email will be sent when the application is marked complete.

11/24/08 - -"application received" email acknowledgement from Brooklyn.Stupid Dean's certification is pending at my undergrad school. I hope I can get it in there before the end of the year :-(

11/24/08 - complete at Pace. Received the interview email - will schedule it tomorrow.

11/19/08 -"application received" email acknowledgement from Rutgers. Sent the cert. letter and admission fee check yesterday. I assume they will email again once I am "complete"

11/19/08 - complete at Fordham (I hope I survive all the anxiety attacks coming on every time I refresh the status checker of my "dream school" :-)

11/18/08 - "application received" email acknowledgement from St. John's. Says that I will be notified about the decision. No word on being complete or incomplete.

11/18/08 - "application received" email acknowledgement from NYSL. Doesn't say whether I am complete, just mentions that all the materials will be submitted for review once all the documents are in place.

THANK YOU! I found out because I applied early decision to Pace. I interviewed November 18th. I think if you are applying regular they dont start to look at applications until Jan. Is Pace your number one? I wish you the best of luck! GoodluckZZ

Same boat with Hofstra status checker. I've heard that they just sent out replies to EDs and a few RDs. Maybe we'll hear soon? lawgrl09

I find it nerve-wracking too, particularly as RDs are hearing from Hofstra and I've been in review since 12/3. We have 4 schools in common. Good luck! lawgrl09
