I see the JS1s rolling in this morning! Any thoughts on when we may expect some JS2s?

JS2's always seem to be Thursday/Friday, so I'm hoping for end of this week

Is JS2 wave typically in the morning or afternoon ?

First JS2 wave this cycle started at ~11:30 am on a Monday!

I also got a JS1! I submitted early January. LSAT between 50 and 75, GPA>75. So excited!

Congrats! When did you go complete?

I applied in mid-October too! Hopefully they're circling back to those files now

Also am a js1er today who went complete in early November.
50<LSAT<75, 25<gpa<50

Maybe this is the start of schools confirming lower applicants this cycle and going back through earlier applications...

12/19/2016 was a Monday; 1/19/2017 was a Thursday, though.

there were JS2s on 1/19?

Lol my bad, looked at the wrong month on my calendar. No January JS2s yet, just the December wave.

[dinan15]

praying for a JS2 round today or sometime this week!

Hello - looking for input? I've recently started several new jobs, one legal related, since the beginning of the calendar year, and these obviously weren't listed on my applications for places like Harvard and Columbia at the time. Is it worth it to send an updated resume now, since I'm still waiting to hear back, or should I wait since waves of admits are likely in the near future and only send it if I end up waitlisted? Thanks for any advice!

JS2 pleeeease.

Maybe this is the start of schools confirming lower applicants this cycle and going back through earlier applications...

Hoping this is right! I went complete around the same time, with similar stats.

JS1 this morning!! Went complete early January. Has anyone made a sort of compilation of types of questions that are asked?

Does VA2lawschool's statement mean that we suspect there are less applications this year? Does that seem to be the case?

we know it for a fact - based on the data that spivey released (originally published by LSAC i think).

In theory a cycle with less applicants should be pretty good correct? I wonder if their goal of interviewing 1200 has been affected by this.

Congrats to all who received a JS1 today!

If I went complete early January but didn't receive a JS1, is there still hope for me? I'm @25 LSAT and GPA 25-50

Yes! Check the admissions spreadsheets from this year and last for wait time distributions. Personally, I waited about 2 months (but did apply earlier).

I like these discussions—they're a bit like LSAT LR questions.

Answer is probably, but not necessarily, yes. What if all the goobers decided not to take a moonshot at the H-bomb this year? Then there would be fewer apps, but the average app would be of higher quality.

[R. Jeeves]

yeah its never a definite yes.

171-180 scoring applicants are significantly down which means that the H applicant pool is probably weaker in terms of #s this year
