bayou...my status was SDT last year, when I got the invite to test in the fall. Now that everything has started over with the application process, I'm in the same category as everyone else...awaiting results...which is fine by me!!

bayou, sorry for the confusion (saw your post in DC invites thread). I honestly can't remember WHEN my original status changed during the 2013 app process. All I know is that I didn't hear anything for a year after everyone else in the "higher scoring subgroup" had been and gone to DC. I didn't think to check AM and wasn't aware of this Board at the time. Had I known, I could probably give you a more accurate sequence of events. IIRC, once I was invited via "next higher scoring subgroup," my status was SDT. That never changed until I reapplied in April. Clear as mud, right?

Its almost as if AM was useless as a predictive force. Which is a GOOD thing. Although predictive for us, we are lucky most of us did not end up with involuntary commitments with our AM obsession. or at least early onset dementia as AM caused more destruction to our brains than all the "lemonade" we drank in college and well by law school, let's be honest, it was straight up tequila. maybe Jose Cuervo is a secret sponsor of the lsat cause it recoups way MORE of its money back over the following 3 years while we trod through the h.... outsiders call law school

Its almost as if AM was useless as a predictive force. It is useless as a "predictive force." The sooner this class realizes that, the better off they will be--and the better off we will be. At least most of them have learned to post only in this thread. It is a lot like litter box training. Pixie

I'm not sure if this has been covered in the past 27 pages (search didn't reveal any obvious entries), but note that as a 10 pt veteran who applied via emailing the aljapplication@opm.gov email address, my application does NOT appear in Application Manager.

But we don't have anything else to torture ourselves with regarding our chance of employment. Idle hands and all. Perhaps knitting or macrame is in order. I will create an angst-ridden scarf.

Don't get roped into this knotty issue.

Macrame is the use of knotting rather than weaving or knitting to fashion decorative objects, such as beads, fringes, ropes and all of those things the hippies found so interesting. Thus, the comment by minny. I am glad to see this thread getting sidetracked. It is the most obsessive thread on the entire board. Even after I posted the links to 5 threads on Application Manager when I started this thread, we still got 27 more (and counting) pages in this thread. I thought surely after reading the threads I linked to, there would be very little additional comment about that which is the least predictive of all of the signs, symptoms and laboratory findings. What this tells me is members who are obsessed with Application Manager don't read prior threads to see if their question might be answered in one of those threads; they just jump in, ask questions and obsess over topics that have been covered before. Fortunately we don't have many round one candidates currrenty on the board. desertobeach is the only one I am aware of. Board Member Gunner was good enough to leave us with a time capsule. He was knocked out in Round 1 back in 2013 and received the dreaded "See Details" tab in application manager. Her is the link to Gunner's message along with even more comments: aljdiscussion.proboards.com/thread/2196/travel-details-means-rejected-sorry

Yesterday, I received 2 emails: one from the aljapplication email noting a changed status and nothing more. I later received an email that referenced AM. Out of curiosity, I went into AM and there is no reference in there to the ALJ application process.
The thing that I find a bit surprising is that I haven't received any notice to move to the online component. I appreciate that they likely need to validate that I qualify, but the other emails I've received have been timely.

Never depend on OPM to move at the speed you expect of them.
Before you move on to online testing, you will need to clear the application hurdle. I believe that is referred to as round one. Many are knocked out of the running at that stage. If you have done your homework on this board, you will have read the prior posts about getting knocked out in round one and will know what to expect. If you haven't read those posts, you may well find yourself a casualty of OPM's strict adherence to questions asked and answered.
By regulation of its own making, if you clear round one, OPM is required to test you by the end of March, 2017, There are plenty of slots available for DC testing in February and March, if you should be so fortunate to make it that far. Pixie

I just received a PM from a member who was concerned that with the soon to be released NORs, there would be grief and consternation over the changes in AM. I hope we are all beyond that, and I hesitate to open the door again, but if there are questions, please post in this thread (if you must post at all). Remember, as our resident sages Gaidin and Gary have often told us, AM is worthless as a predictive force.

Agreed totally.
It is useful (as long as you are allowed to use it) for holding much better formatted versions of the documents OPM emails to you, like your NORs, Appeal Rights, and explanation of the scoring (in general terms--not specific to the individual).
