Also unnerving that it is now February and I haven't heard from over half of the schools that I applied to.

I haven't even heard from my regional schools :roll: . At least if I heard from them, I'd feel somewhat okay with it all.

Yup, shows that it isn't just about the numbers for some schools. That's awesome.

Yeah, and he has what most TLSers would call 'average softs' (i.e. he didn't cure cancer). But still great softs IMO. I'm very excited for him!

Also, does your username mean African American JD to be?

Thanks for getting the results thread going, AAJD2B. Since my cycle just started, I'm going to wait for a few more acceptances until I contribute.

Same. I considered checking in, but I applied to most places mid-January.
I'm still working on a few apps.

I'm expecting it to hurt me, but hopefully it doesn't kill me.

Congrats!!!! I don't know how successful my JS1 was yet, but feel free to PM me with questions :) The advice on TLS is pretty good, if a little obsessive (I don't think lighting is that important, TBH)

Jodie, I PMd you. Harvard's first URM wave was the first week of February last cycle, so a lot of people might be hearing back soon.

Hello everyone, I'm an AA male who's been lurking for a while now. Just wanted to jump in this thread and say hello!
I just sent in apps for USC, UCLA and Loyola a couple days ago and will be sending out 8-10 more apps (including Harvard, Columbia, Penn and Vanderbilt) in the next few weeks. Hopefully the fact that my apps are late in the cycle won't hurt me TOO much but I'll keep everyone posted as to how it goes.
