How Long does the Decision Take?

[Rebecca]

Can anyone tell me how long it takes after receiving an application for a law school to accept or deny a student?  I sent my materials in very early and my LSAT score was just released--when can I expect to hear from my schools?

I think it depends greatly on the school and whether you are applying early action or what not. Some schools start looking at them right away and take about 4 weeks others wait until they have a good amount turned in so it will be nearer to the application deadline and maybe as late as march/april...
