Every Monday morning I get a little extra excited thinking today might be the day when the flood gates open.

Then at 5:00PM you curl up in to the fetal position and cry because you heard nothing.

I'm not sure what the consensus is on how early we can start negotiating over money, but it seems like if schools are working with limited amounts, it makes sense to beat the pack. I typed up my first real one tonight, but I guess I'll wait to Monday after Xmas to hit submit.

I wouldn't. Might be a bit pushy this early. Some schools wait until a fair number of initial offers are made before doing the negotiation.

I just added things up ... apparently there are 8% more applicants overall: Last year 17,049. This year 1382 more. In the 170 and over range there are 17% more, so if you take out the 8% overall increase, then 9% more have scored in the 170 range.

I was hoping some movement would lend some excitement to the very slow work week. Alas.

When do rejections and waitlist notifications start to go out in full?

I don't remember where the bar graph is, but Jan/Feb is when they hit the fan. I think most schools want to get a fuller picture of their applicant pool before they reject/waitlist certain candidates (and they don't wanna send out poor news before the holidays), so they wait until after Dec LSAT scores and application submissions. Also, some scholarships have a Jan 1 deadline, so applicants to those may be on hold until after all those get processed.

Can I submit a Why X after I submitted my application? It's been about a month and a half.

You probably can but I'd wait and send it as a LOCI if you get waitlisted.
