I haven't got the letter yet.


Bug, yes, I understood that.

I am just curious about your credentials because, if I remember correctly, in your case, the decision-making process took only 2 weeks, right? What is your TOELF score?

Baby_Luck, yes indeed it took about 2 weeks.
I graduated from the top law school in my country with honors, have 5 years of working experience (including my Paralegal years) and obtained above 110 in TOEFL.
I hope this works!

BUG, you have very good credentials! Congrats, I think you ddefenitely will be in!

I asked basically to kind of compare to my credentials to sort of get sense when I should expect a letter and what kind of a letter..

Is there anybody who could not obtain a certificate for GULC? If I remember correctly,there was one person. I am curious about his/her case....

My status changed to decision yesterday.
Over the last couple of days, it changed from complete to unavailable, to complete again, and now to decision.
What a catastrophic week!

Got acceptance package on Saturday for tax program, went to "decision" on Thursday. I am a domestic JD who went "complete" about 1-2 weeks ago.

Hey,

my status changed to "decision" 4 days ago. Today I was called by Fedex that they I'll receive the letter tomorrow - I'm international. Does Fedex mean that I'm in? I read somewhere that GULC only sends acceptance notices by Fedex - all other news by airmail.

to Ostriker,

Based on my own experience, rejection letter was sent by mail, while acceptance one was sent by fedex. I was rejected at early decision cycle, but then admitted at general cycle.
Good luck!!!

Hi everyone,
I got an interview by a GULC Alumny as part of the admission process. The email said it was not compulsory, that I could do without it if I didn't have time, but the interviewer told me that now this is in the standard process for admission.
Just to let you know. Anyway, I believe this is not the case for early admissions.

Strange "Status Check". My status turned to "DECISION" on Feb. 25. However, my status chedk page notices that it was updated again on Feb. 27 (status is remained as "DECISION").
WHAT should they update? I cannot accurately know when the decision for my application was made.

Anyway, I start to lose hope....it have already taken too much time from Feb. 25.
If my decision was sent by FedEx, it should have already reached me.

Lillipit-army,

My status changed to decision and I still have no fedex, they send everything by US Mail, so it takes longer.

Nonetheless, to know if you are admitted, you can put your info in the admitted students site. If it allows you in, it must say welcome (your name), and it will contain all the instructions on accepting the offer.

Try it, maybe it'll work. It did for me!

Hi BUG..... just to clarify....in your case is it correct that you havent received fedex/mail/e-mail yet but you are able to login to the admitted students website? Do you use the status check username and password?

My status turned decision a week back but i cant log in to the admitted students site using my status check particulars. I hope this isnt bad news??!!

Thanks.

withprayers,

my status turned to decision feb 19th, and i was able to log on the admitted student site on feb 23rd. I log on using my status check user and password.

The admitted student site says that 4 days after decision it should allow you to acces the page. If the 4 days have not passed yet, keep waiting! If not, it might be bad news, but let's hope for the best, and wait on the letter.

I think I've been admitted, but am not sure. Though I haven't gotten any letter yet. I have just received an email from Georgetown though.

I haven't received my mail letter either, but just received an admission e-mail: "Congratulations on your admission to Georgetown's LL.M. program! As someone who will read every LL.M. application that Georgetown receives this year, I can tell you how difficult (and interesting) this process is, and how proud you should be of your accomplishment."

Shortly after I received the tuition e-mail gildeyouth says about. Gildeyouth, why don't you try entering the admitted student site?

Yeah 'Gildedyouth', I just got that e-mail too!!!

Does that mean I got into GULC?

My application only went to decision a few days ago, so I have not received a decision letter yet.

I didn't receive the admission e-mail, but got the tuition/visa e-mail for admitted students.

I assume that they only lend the latter e-mail to admitted students, right?

Then this must mean you are admitted! Congratulations!
They will not sent a tuition e-mail to a non-admitted student... I bet they are still coordination the delivery of this e-mails.

My status turned to decision on feb19th, so it was way back than yours.

Same here. I also got this tuition expense and visa e-mail. But no Fedex/mail about what the decision is. I am really surprised what is happening. Am I admitted or is it sent by mistake!!
