  It's hard to define "normal" with law schools, especially with this cycle. It's been a very slow cycle. However, if you're waiting 6+ months for a response...that's probably not normal and you are probably dinged or WLd.

  Personally, I heard back from T14 schools within a month. Average of 3 weeks. Other T1 schools took about a month - month and a half - I'm guessing that they have fewer resources in their admissions offices. I got very lucky though. Many people that applied when I applied are still waiting.

  If you are accepted, schools will send a combo of an email, snail mail, update to the status checker, and sometimes a phone call! Rejections are sometimes emailed, but more common by status checker and snail mail.

  I see. So checking my status will do the trick for the most part. Though Baylor and SMU don't have a decision checker.

  I am wondering if the tier 3 I applied to will have a quicker turnaround since I am well above their average gpa and LSAT scores. Just out of curiosity that is.
