I'm a little afraid to check in in case they just reject me immediately after or something, but this just doesn't seem right.
I have the same dates and the same looong wait and finally did hear back from them today with an acceptance so don't lose hope yet. (I agree its a crazy long wait)

Thanks, man. For the record, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little jealous of your SLS acceptance! You're crushing it.

Dude you're gonna be at Cambridge next year (if not New Haven). Hard for anyone to not be jealous of that. You'll be fine!
EDIT: I see you didn't apply to Yale actually. Why not?

Thanks for the optimism! In all honesty, I had a hard time justifying forking out the dough for a YLS app when it was such a reach for me, you know? HLS and SLS seemed like more reasonable (at least distantly attainable) reaches. But dude, you're golden. I'm anxious to see how well the rest of your cycle plays out!

I predict Emory will get back to you very soon; they are sending their notifications via email now.

I'm still waiting on NYU, Columbia, Chicago, Duke, and Harvard. Is this normal for URMs?

Yeah, I haven't received an admissions decision from Duke, GULC (I did my in-person interview earlier today), BU, SLS, HLS or CLS.

No word from:
Stanford
Harvard
Columbia
Chicago (but at the rate they're going, it'll be June)
NYU
Penn
Michigan
Cornell
Northwestern
I had updates at Cornell and NYU recently so I'd hoped they'd give me word by today, but...guess not
