Congratulations!! I don't know if you noticed, but we're both much in the same boat. I'm also a Utah Non-trad with similar LSAT (not as good academics as yours, but a successful career before now), and I would dearly love to get into BYU. Would you be willing to tell me more about your interview if I get asked for one? Any advice for getting an interview? Congrats again--I'm happy for you!

Oregon question

Hi! Congratulations on all of you acceptances. I applied to Oregon and I have a question about them. Were you looking at your status checker regularly? If so, how long did it take for you go from "In Review" to being accepted? I've been waiting a couple of months and my anxiety is taking over. Good luck in all of your future endeavors!
