According to their academic calendar, classes are still being held on Monday. If classes are being held, I would assume the office is open also. http://www.law.harvard.edu/academics/ca ... index.html
This assumption is false...I have to go to class on Monday, but my workplace (an on campus department) is closed.
Alright, I stand corrected.

Not everyone gets a 3-day weekend. It's kind of a sore spot actually.
Hear hear...but we do get 2 weeks off for Spring Break and a whole week for Thanksgiving to make up for it.

Tuesday seems like a decent turnaround time. Let's get those phones ringing again.
Am I right in assuming u go to Harvard? You still have it nicer than we do. We don't get a three day weekend either... and we only get one week for spring break and the normal Thanksgiving break... You're lucky.

OK submitted 12/5 and u/r 12/12 but I think they were probably holding for my second LSAT score.
I've been complete since 1/5 with absolutely no word at all.

Should I be getting worried?

Don't think so, at least they haven't this year - so just relax, try to take your mind off of it for this weekend, and enjoy your JS2 next week. :)

I went UR about a month ago. Would it be ill advised to send a LOCI or resume update next week?

3.7/170 URM w/ strong softs. Any idea of my chances at this point?

no Loci needed. I went UR more than a month ago and I have pretty good numbers. Don't stress it; I'm pretty sure they are just a little backed up with applications right now.

You might be able to do a resume update if there was a significant accomplishment in the past month or so.

I didn't know you guys also had to write a thesis for undergrad? and I'm so envious how did you right your thesis last semester? I wish I'd been able to do that. Enjoy a well deserved last semester/spring break!! Where r you planning to go to law school so far?

So am I right in thinking that no February completes have heard anything yet? Because it took a full month between submitting and going complete for me (presumably because I'm an international), I'm starting to run out of fingernails to chew...

Since almost every full-international with good numbers has been held, I'm betting they're waiting until later in the cycle to decide about us. I wouldn't panic if you don't hear anything this month.

Let's just pretend that they are indeed closed tomorrow so I can sleep through the night and not wake up every 30 minutes with mini panic attacks.

Just curious when people use "full-international" is that excluding Canadians?

They mean internationals with no numerical LSDAS GPA.
