Doubt it...I think there are still phone interviews scheduled for tomorrow. The ball keeps on bouncing.

grats on your phone interviews!

and wow, almost 15min, totally squashed my 10. why couldnt i have been more interesting?! lol

and sfdreaming, i dont think it'll be too big of a problem, and DEFINITELY hope it does not push JR2's back...i know TS went on some 3 day break thing and it threw off TS1's for a bit, but the first batch of TS2's still came like clockwork.

Hmm is the HYP= H? Then probably a decent shot at getting in... more of a coin flip if its YP tho

Yale is pretty good, also. Princeton is the more debatable boost.

30-32% of Yale applicants get in depending on the year. I think Princeton is a bit below that.

That doesn't tell us anything, since Yale has a high LSAT average and severe grade inflation to boost GPAs.

Yeah I'm just pointing out the raw statistics. I don't think there's a special "boost." Just lots of people with good numbers.

We live in the age of technology. Long-distance phone calls, my friend.

Sadly the HYP is not H.

And to completely erase any doubt and mystery, hoping that all this paranoia about stats and identity is unwarranted, sadly no grade inflation here either :( Looks like my HYP is going to be of little help here.

So everyone get the picture? LONGER JR1's = Greater chance of acceptance!

<6 min. = Things aren't looking to hot for you my friend
6-8 min. = Eh, decent, but Josh just isn't that in to you
8-10 min. = Josh likes you, your probably in.
10-12 min. = Pack your bags your going to Cambridge!!!
12+ min. = JR will offer you a secret scholarship that Harvard claims not to have

that call was more just routine for you, it wasn't necessary to know that you were already too good for them.

aside: tho solar's post was a joke post, i think TS's phone calls were in general shorter than JR's. looking at old posts, TS calls were like 6-8min, but JR's often dance around 10 (and apparently now even 15 lol)

haha, i know. :P assuming average 10 minute phone calls to 1,000 recipients, JR is going to spend more than 4 full working weeks (40 hours each week) talking to people on the phone. good lord.
