PS: Concerning my junior year crisis of, after working in a research lab second semester of sophomore year, deciding that I didn't want to work in research, and how I decided to switch into going to law school. If you want to read it, let me know.
LORs:
One from the director of the Honors program here, who I've known since freshman year when he worked to get me into the program despite not being offered it initially. He was also my teacher one semester. He's a very well-read and articulate man, so I'm assuming he wrote a strong LOR.
Another from a teacher in the Honors program who I had sophomore year and who loves my writing style. She's been like a second mom to me up here at college and helped me through some rough times. She read me the LOR and it was AMAZING - I couldn't have written something about myself as positive as she did. She's also my thesis advisor. The letter was about her thoughts on my writing style and my work ethic.
Another was from my academic advisor who had me junior year for a class. This letter was for the sole purpose of having someone in the administration describe the difficulty of my courseload - taking all the classes through the chem instead of bio dept., etc...
Finally, one from a family friend who's known me my whole life. Another strong one about how she's watched me grow as a person and has always been proud of me.
Yale 250: I can guarantee you I'm the only one who wrote about this subject. It was entitled 'There's no Wrong Way to Eat a Reese's, but..." (and that's not an analogy for anything; I wrote about eating my King Sized 4 pack).

Sent is the day that I submitted it via LSAC.
Received is the day that I was informed by the school (via status checker or e-mail) that they had received my application.
Complete is the same as received, except in the case of Harvard. I received the 'interview' e-mail the 17th and spoke with him on the 18th. I received notice of my file being complete on the 21st.
Decision either upon phone call (UVA, UPenn, Harvard), receipt of letter (NYU, Stanford, Chicago, Columbia, Yale), or status update (GULC). I withdrew from Duke before I heard from them.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Acceptances:
UVA via phone call, letter followed (small envelope with two folded sheets)

UPenn via phone call, letter followed (big envelope/packet with info on the school and a copy of Philadelphia magazine)

GULC via small letter, after status changed on their website

NYU via letter/info in large envelope

Harvard via phone call 2 days before Christmas! I was asleep on a car ride up to a holiday party with the family and woke up to a call from a 617 number. It was kinda cruel since I go to school in Boston so I figured it must be one of my friends. Mr. Stock also called from a different number than during his initial 'interview'. I was shaking the rest of the car ride up! A letter followed, dated the 20th.

Columbia via snail mail (big packet) on 1/25.

Rejections:
Stanford via snail mail, small envelope
Yale via snail mail, small envelope

Deferrals:
Chicago via snail mail, small envelope - They said that I was on the preferred waitlist, whatever that means.

We'll never know:
Duke, I withdrew from before they issued a decision
