Ugh god I've become so edgy that I've forgotten to be skeptical.

Twist: "just" received JS1 invite a week ago, has a zen-like ability to refrain from checking email for long periods of time.

I scheduled mine with the speed of summer lightening after getting the invite. Like actually within 2 minutes.

Does anyone know if there were different rates of acceptance between KB1s and JS1s? I wonder if certain interviewers are more likely to get favorable impressions of candidates.

Guess I should prepare myself for the long haul. Nothing seems forthcoming today.

Seeing Oct JS1 being admitted in this wave makes me feel a bit better about my odds at HLS though. Maybe they review all the outstanding JS1's before each wave regardless of when those JS1's are. I will be checking back to this thread next Friday.

I think someone talked about this a few pages back and figured out it made no difference. But I could totally be making that up as all these threads are running together for me.

yep, like I said, seems like they don't wait till April to review all the outstanding JS1s. They seem to do it before each wave to gauge whether those JS1s that they are holding are diverse enough (i.e., whether they are too similar to most of the ppl already admitted) for the upcoming class. I don't think number is as important once you have a JS1.

:shock: I thought there is no more KB? Or now we are referring all non-JS interviewers as KB1?

Draw's referring to the previous cycle, I think.
