Adding to the thread,
Queried Brianne YA Contemporary; July 31st
Full request; August 2nd
Andddd waiting
Congrats! Crossing my fingers for you!
I queried Samantha Wekstein about 2 months ago. The last couple of times (2010, 20I1, two different mms) I queried Writers House, I never got a reply. We'll see how this attempt goes.
To update...
Brianne contacted me a few days back, and essentially right now my book is too much tell not enough show SO I am doing major revision and rewrite and she is willing to look at it again when I'm finished
Fingers crossed
I've been very impressed with Ms. Johnson. Good luck with the R&R!
Queried Merrilee Heifetz on december 18. Her assistant requested the first 50 pages on friday. Now I'm officially a wreck, since Merrilee is my number one agent, and I know the chance is still pretty small.
Update with full request on 1/23. Sent 1/25. Now I'm crossing everything I've got.
Update with R&R today. Don’t know if I should be happy or sad

I think an R & R from an agent/agency of this calibre is very encouraging.
They have my full too, but still waiting to hear back.
How detailed were their notes and did they give you an estimate of how long you should take with the revision or how long they'd take to make a decision on the revised version?
