I think the JS2 might come out b4 the KB2s...i mean Jessica has had 3 days now to go through all the files and make her picks..
I think the next batch of KB/JS1's is going to come out before the KB/JS2's... :lol:
as long as your in it, i'm cool with waiting another day
haha thank you! The support on here really does mean a lot to me, though at this point I'm pretty sure my chances are slim to none. Now that I've come to terms with that, watch me be proven wrong.

I've been more like:
"Nah, she ain't gonna call now."
*Does some work*
*Looks at phone*
*Goes back to doing work*

Tomorrow it'll be like:
*Stares at phone*

Love the meme :D

So Elendil, where are you off to, assuming JS and KB continue to not give a fuck about us? :)

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to this forum but I've been following TLS for about a year. I applied in late November, was put on agonizing hold till early May when I got my waitlist offer, and finally today I got my JS1! Don't lose hope! I'm Canadian, low LSAT high GPA splitter, 2 years WE in a multinational corporation, of East Asian descent, and female. Good luck to everyone; this forum has helped keep me sane in rough times! My interview is on Friday.

You got your JS1 email today, or had your interview?

If you got the email, when is your interview?

Come on guys, your KB/JS2s are just a matter of time. At least this gives people in my position hope for a Friday KB/JS1! :D :D :D

Oh, and congrats! I'm also from Canada/low LSAT/high GPA!

the optimist in me is saying "Maybe JS has made a decision on those she interviewed last week and will contact them tomorrow" But the realist in me just punched the optimist in the face.

Yea. This staggered JS1 stream without earlier JS2s is very disconcerting.

Perhaps people are deferring? I can't imagine so many people having poor interviews...

I don't mean to sound too hopeful for people like me, but I think it's worth mentioning that not a single person who had their interview before being waitlisted has been contacted yet (or at least none have reported). I'd expect that at least a few people from this subgroup will be re-interviewed (really doubt they'd blindly accept one without talking to them again).

So maybe a small wave of these folks before JS2s, but who really knows...

I also find this curious and am in the same boat. It's probably wishful thinking on my part, but if they will be admitting a larger than normal number of people off the WL (and this would seem to be the case), then I'd be very surprised if not one KB1/JS1--WL didn't get one. In past years there have seemed to be a decent amount of JR1(b)s offered to these people but maybe KB and JS are operating in a different way.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
Just kidding ... it's still FREE!
