I wasn't expecting to hear back for a while, because I think I have kind of borderline numbers, but I thought something usually happens around when you get the complete e-mail.
nope, complete email is pretty random and seems independent of anything haha
for democrattotheend:
from the 12/16 JR blog comment:
"As I read files, I put aside those I find most interesting/compelling and set up interviews with them relatively quickly. However, files don’t necessarily come to me in chronological order as we have many Admissions Officers and Faculty Members reviewing applications. Thus, while some applicants will receive invitations to interview shortly after their file is complete, others may take a bit longer, depending on how many readers look at the file before it gets to me. Admittedly, there’s some randomness to how quickly your interview gets schedule so I wouldn’t read too much into the timing. Hope this helps."

It'd be worth it just so you could meet me

Thanks, that makes me feel a little better. I don't expect to get in but I'd feel better if they waited a little longer before dinging me. Let me enjoy the excitement of getting into Columbia for a few more days...

Zara must feel pretty special being the only acceptance in a sea of rejections on LSN.

The worst part is, on the LSN graph everyone with and around my numbers already got in. There isn't one hold or reject in that vicinity. I must have totally botched the app.

I'm a current 1L at HLS and I would say that it's definitely worth attending an ASW if possible. For one thing you get to learn the layout of the campus, which is useful. For another you get to meet a bunch of your fellow classmates, which will help ease you into things and create connections outside your section for when you get here. One of my closest non-section friends is someone I met at an ASW and I don't know if we would have had an opportunity to interact had we not met there. Harvard is a big place. You'll also get a jump on knowing about some cool organizations here, and get a chance to make sure that Harvard is for you. It's not necessary if it would be a huge logistical hassle, but I'd say it's definitely worth it if you can find the time and resources to make it up to campus.

Or the rest of the people with your numbers are sitting and waiting with a blank spot on LSN just like you.
Hell maybe those accepts on the graph with your numbers only represent 10% of the people with your numbers and the other 90% are just sitting around and waiting for some news...
We can only use LSN to make judgments about our situation after the cycle.

Yeah I think there are a couple of other people in that same situation but not that many. We're doomed

Attention! Don't let this opportunity to ask JR the Big Questions slip away!
--LinkRemoved--
Apparently all you have to do is leave a comment under that post, and he'll answer it this Friday. This was posted yesterday, and nobody's asked any questions yet. It would be sad if we let Friday come without asking any hard-hitting questions to make JR squirm.
I'm going to ask him about the meaning of life! Who's with me?

Hmmm... I'll have to think of a good question. There are all sorts of things to ask. Maybe the most worth asking is approximately what percentage of Harvard acceptances have already been distributed. I'm also curious how the JR1 is taken into account in the admission decision, and how much it matters.

When are you accepting me JR? .... no but really. I want to know when holds will hear. Even if its a rejection I really hope we know by april.

Bump. I really can't think of anything I want to ask JR myself, but it would be a shame if TLS left him with nothing to do on Friday. Then again, maybe he'd use that time to make more phone calls...

Perhaps you should ask him why he doesn't use that time to make some admit calls.

Nah, I think that "ouch" is just a natural byproduct of having an acute anal cavity.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
