Random question. (and congrats to JS2s btw!)

Any value in replying to a rejection with a reaffirmation of interest and mentioning that I plan to reapply during a future cycle?

Might go to grad school first, then reapply to law schools. Could a response like this help? Hurt? Make absolutely no difference? ... I'm guessing it's the last one.

Couldn't hurt, as far as I can tell. I could see it being something you could slip into next year's JS1 or something maybe. If its concise and well written and you want to give it a shot id say go for it

oh and CONGRATS JS2s:)

So, should we expect some more dings on Monday, or do you guys think we can breath for a bit?

What should us JS1ers who haven't received a JS2 or a ding be feeling? Unofficial hold, possibly waitlist?

As someone who interviewed months ago, I'm feeling unofficial hold/soon to be waitlist.

My email was at around 11:30 east coast time...so you're probably safe today.
My stats were 177 highest LSAT (there were retakes) and 3.86 GPA
I think there may have been a lot of little things that did me in, though, when they broke down my raw numbers. For my JS1, I thought it went alright...but I wasn't super enthusiastic for Harvard in it, which they might have taken personally. Oh well, on the plus side I might not need to stress very hard about where I matriculate. Not a K-JD, work experience was internships.

I've been dreaming of this post for a long time.

HOLY CRAP I'M GOING TO HOGWARTS HARVARD!!!

A huge thank you to the whole TLS community. Although I mostly lurked, this site was my rock when studying to retake the LSAT, and my anxiety provoking rock as I waited to hear back. Also, shout-out to Mike Spivey for his generosity, wise council, and for being an all around incredible human being.

I will add my details anonymously to the spreadsheet, but for now I'm off to celebrate!

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
Just kidding ... it's still FREE!
