"I've talked to a number of admissions officers, and the word on the streets is that you're a dull lot this year -- or at least that's what your essays lead admissions officers to believe. "

LSN tells us that applications completed in January are decided upon in March usually. It also shows us that high scorers usually get their decisions within weeks and much earlier than March. If this is all true we must just be flat out freaks for checking the status of our applications daily through status checkers and this board. That is, for those of who us who did not score in the 170s.

I'm happy that I haven't received a decision yet. Are you?

I can hope.
