No interview, I went complete first week of December (don't remember the exact date)
Your acceptance gives me hope given the closeness of our stats. Congrats!!!

Just peeked at your LSN. You're having one hell of a cycle. Congrats!
Thank you! It feels very surreal, did not think I'd get this lucky.

In about 30 minutes ago, complete early October, interviewed late November/early December (I forgot), GPA>75, LSAT<50. It seems no one has gotten scholly info. Is it possible it only comes in the hard copy of the acceptance? Holding on to hope here!

It's also possible they don't give scholly info until February or March. There's a few schools I've been accepted to that just don't give out scholly info this early.

Congrats! This one gives me hope (although my LSAT is a 167). Were you URM by any chance?

So am I most likely going to be waitlisted if I interviewed in mid December but was not part of this wave?

What time were you admitted at? I'm curious if the wave was sent out quickly over a ten minute span or if acceptance e-mails will keep going out for an extended period of time

I think there's quite a few waves to be expected between now and February (which is when the first wave of rejection/WL seems to be) aka don't worry yet.

no. I'm also an undergrad still so I'm really outperforming my lsn % chart thingy.

Sent app in September, interview mid-November, this probably means I'm waitlisted right? I guess I would've heard back in the first wave if I got accepted.

Looking at last year's LSN info:

They had their first wave (admits only) 1/19, then another 1/21 and some people the 22nd and 23rd too (including one WL). Next wave came 1/26 (admits only), and seems to have just continued for a couple days. Then there was the first wave of WLers 2/5. First straight up rejection was 2/10.

All that's to say, for anyone worried about not being in this wave, if CLS is sticking to their past schedule (which it seems like there are) there will be QUITE a few more waves of acceptances before the month is over.

Edit: aka we can worry together in February because I'm pretty sure I'm getting a WL at best, ding at worst lol.

Same exact boat. Above both medians, thought I had a great interview... few more waves before the WL/rejects, but definitely not feeling too hot.
