What's the latest the first interview invite wave has gone out in the past ten years? Do we have data on that?

It's in the first post on this thread, but there only 4 years of data are compiled. We are definitely the longest waiters.

Seems like it should go out today or tomorrow?

First JS1 Invite (c/o 2016): Wednesday, October 31 (~4 PM EST)
First JS1 Invite (c/o 2017): Tuesday, October 15 (~4 PM EST)
First JS1 Invite (c/o 2018): Monday, October 27 (~4 PM EST)
First JS1 Invite (c/o 2019): Tuesday, October 20 (~11:45AM EST)

I think it depends on what your GPA is, exactly. There's a big difference between a 3.5 and 2.0.

I've seen those and the LSAC probability calculator as well, what's more reliable? According to LSN, 15-20%. According to LSAC, 32 - 46%

Probably shouldn't expect too much, bleh.

In almost the exact same boat, GPA<25, 75<LSAT. Not holding my breath, but hoping they at least give me a shot at an interview. Keeping my fingers crossed for both of us that HLS is feeling splitter friendly this cycle

With their median dropping, there's a chance of them lowering their GPA floor.

Would be an awesome start to the weekend if they came out today. Someone said that of the applicants given interviews about 75% get accepted? Is this correct?

Around 70% of those interviewed get in, so yeah, if I just got a shot at an interview I would be happy with that.
