How long from report request to decision?

[Gummo]

I'm sure this widely varies from school to school, but for those who applied last year or before (especially for those who applied really early like I did), how long did it take from the time the school requested your LSDAS report for you to receive a decision?

I don't think there's any answer to this question.  It will probably depend on when you apply and how busy they are, how competitive your application is compared to the rest of the pool, and who else knows what.  I would think it varies not only school by school, but application from application.

don't schools request a report immediately when they recieve your completed application?  i agree with jacy, i don't think it would be that indicative of an immediate or prolonged response.

Good point.

there IS no answer to this question.  my first decision came within 3 weeks of my application being complete (aka them getting my report).  the last one came in May?

Was that first decision a school you were borderline at, or autoadmit or reject?

i was competitive at that school.  but nothing automatic when you have a 3.13 LSAC
