Status Types
Your application will have one of the following status types:
Application Received
The Office of Admissions has received your application and is reviewing it to determine if there is any missing information.
Incomplete
Your application has been reviewed and your Law School Report has been requested from LSAC. Files are Incomplete when we are waiting to receive and process the information we receive from LSAC in your Law School Report.
Complete
Your Law School Report report has been received and reviewed and your file is now ready for review by the Faculty Admissions Committee. Files are forwarded to the Faculty Admissions Committee for review in the order in which they are completed, and it typically takes eight to ten weeks from the date of completion for a decision to be made. If you have indicated your intention to sit for a future LSAT exam, we place your file on hold and wait for your new scores before passing your file on to the Committee for review.
In Review
Your application has been sent to the Faculty Admissions Committee for review. It can take anywhere from 6-8 weeks for an application to go through the complete review process. We appreciate your patience during this time. Once the Faculty Admissions Committee has completed the review of your application, your online status will be updated to reflect the Committee’s decision.
HOLD – Letter of recommendation

Decisions on applications for transfer or visiting student status are typically not made until mid to late summer. All applications will be placed on hold as they are completed and are ready for review by the Faculty Admissions Committee.
Withdrawn
Your application has been withdrawn from consideration either at your request or by the Admissions Office because you did not complete all of the application requirements.
