Mine came at 4:33 EST, so I'm assuming you're a west coaster?

Yup. Maybe they did all come out in a batch.
The ding reports were bunched together quite tightly, so I'd say a single batch is plausible. No JS1s or JS2s reported if I'm not mistaken though.

Sorry to the dings. :( Many with similar/stronger numbers than me, so I'm sure they're just prolonging the inevitable. :?

It was me. It just feels like they haven't dinged a lot of JS1's yet, but I probably haven't been following closely enough.
Well there was at least one ding with a JS1. This guy. womp womp

That fact that they could ding FD and had the temerity to turn down a >75 >75 makes me think they've hit their desired medians (accounting for yield expectations). Not saying numbers are totally out of the picture, but I think there might be many more :shock: -worthy decisions to come now that they have more of a free hand.

I had a JS1 2 months ago and a ding today.

Sorry to everyone who got dinged :( ... Damn I can't even imagine how that would feel but I guess I should start preparing. Crazy how soon this thread will be done for good.

I agree with you.. They're probably filling in the last few (~100?) slots at this point..

Got the ole JSNo just now. It was a huge reach but I couldn't resist as a native masshole. Applied early November with a GPA below the 25th and a below median LSAT. I was not interviewed. On the bright side, I suppose it's nice to avoid the ambiguity of a long-shot WL ride. Good luck to the rest of you!

No way they know their yield at this point though; there will be some numbers driven wait list action once some admits jump ship.

Eta: just re read your post nep- nevermind.

these past few seem to be somewhat splitter-heavy (going off of LSN)?

Still alive somehow! Had my JS1 a few weeks ago. Maybe I'll hang on for a JS2, but I think I'm likely waitlist. Anxiously refreshing email oh phone


Sorry to all of the folks who got dinged :( Nasty wave

There was a non-URM in the wave. I don't remember what her username was, but it's a few pages past today's drivel.

chicky wasn't a URM, and the one acceptance as reported on LSN may not be either.--ImageRemoved--
