I received an email this morning from UVA inviting me to call the Dean of Admissions to talk about my application, I called and he asked me a couple questions regarding if I was still interested and if there was anything else admissions should know before they make their decision and then I was offered ADMISSION!!

He told me I was accepted and that I would be getting $60,000. It was a great conversation and he was SO nice. If you get this email definitely don't stress and just be honest. Best of luck to everyone!

3.87/165 URM MA

Complete: 11/2
Acceptance Email/Call: 12/12

Congrats! Yes, this year Harvard will conduct JS1s by Skype as opposed to by phone. I wish you all the best for the interview. I'm sure you will do great!

haha! All fingers crossed, and all knuckles knocking on wood (including the the toe knuckles).

I am still wishing all the luck to everyone still waiting and sending out encouragement to those who doubt that things other than numbers matter. 164/3.96 aa male. with an early js1. You can do it too!

Blanketed the T14 but I'm starting to get nervous, havnt heard anything...I dont have much money, but should I start borrow a couple of hundred and start spraying 15-25?
I doubt it, but if you do, I wouldn't apply much lower than Vandy/Texas. A couple acceptances might make you sleep easier

Worm lemme tell you something. I'm a reverse splitter and I let TLS convince me that I wouldn't have a chance at the T-14. I applied anyway for shits and giggles but ED'd to GWU because I hoped to maybe by some miracle get into a T-20 school. Now I'm in at UVA with money and really annoyed with myself for EDing to GWU. I said that to say this, your numbers are way higher than mine and if I can get in, surely you've got more than a shot.

All I need is one...I'm starting to have faux panic attacks about not getting into law school.
I have one (Texas) and I am still frantically refreshing email/status checkers. You applied lateish right? Every time someone who went complete after gets a JS1 I lose a little hope. It's not about one acceptance, I think its about the one.

Thank you! FYI I submitted the same day as efresquez88 who was admitted about 2 days ago and interview was about 2 weeks ago. So, no one count yourself out just yet. It is still early!
