Anyone apply to FSU law?

I sent my application on 1/31 and it was marked complete and ready to 'process' today. I see on lawschoolnumbers.com that a lot of people here back from FSU just 1-2 weeks after their application is complete and I was wondering, does anyone know what I can expect? I've applied to 7 schools and it'd be nice to get my first accepted!

I had my application in and complete by the end of OCTOBER, and just got a letter 2 weeks ago. I thought they had a rolling admission, but maybe not, and you will get yours soon. Good luck!

i'm guessing that it totally depends on where you fall in the applicant pool, especially if the school has rolling admissions.

Usually there's 3 piles- immediate acceptances, immediate rejections, and we need to think about this person more. They usually have a grid type thing and if your LSAT/GPA combo falls in a certain area, they'll admit you, don't really need to discuss you unless there's something very strange about your application. If your combo score is in the we-don't-think-so pile, unless something is very outstanding or unique- essay, recs, you'd probably get rejected. I don't know if there's as many immediate rejections. Then there's the we need to talk about you more/think about you more pile... which also is dependent on how the other applications that roll in are. Being that you applied sorta late (not that that's that bad of a thing... i didn' t apply to my school until January), you might get a quicker response because they already know what the applicant pool is like.

But a one or two week turn around time would be fairly unusual unless you definitely fell into their yes list. I did get a very quick response from my school, I think around 2, 2 1/2 weeks, but I know I fell into the yes pile for various reasons.

GO NOLES!!! I'm a proud alum of FSU and I can tell you will love it here. I have a good friend who's in his second year. There's actually someone else greekchat who's in her first year at FSU law. Many people talk about Florida maybe having a better law school than FSU but year after year, our passing rate for the FL Bar is much higher than UF's. Go figure!

I don't know if this post makes me more excited to go to FSU or more depressed 'cause I might be rejected. Hey, I should've had you write a LOR

It's been a week since they marked my application 'ready to process.' If I hear something within another week I'll be happy. Especially if it's an accept!
