Been following multiple WL threads out of morbid curiosity. I'm seeing movement at Yale, Columbia, and now here.

Let's get crazy.

Congrats guys! Does HLS usually have a WL URM wave first? I wasn't sure. Is there hope for non-URMs still? Also JS is back....what a weird cycle.

...and does anyone know how long the "URM wave" typically lasts? A day? Two?

Of course Harvard picks the week I'm out of the country to start emailing. I'm paying 0.75 cents a minute for this!

Anyone think we'll get non-urm JS1's before June 1st deposit deadlines?

Does anyone know what % of phone interviews off the waitlist lead to acceptances? Is it higher than from the general applicant pool?

Congrats to sharktank and fingers! Anyone got the answer to this? I remember seeing somewhere it was 100%... can anyone confirm?

Huge congrats to all the JS1s today. Way to go, guys!! <3

Also two questions: a.) has anyone who's non-URM received a JS1? and b.) do we have actual reason to believe that there will be a continuing/second wave this week into next week? Or are we just all really optimistic/relieved that there's movement at all?
