Good to see the fighting spirit back - I was afraid the JS1 was making you soft

No one on this earth would ever call me soft

What's the consensus: does JS1s in the AM suggest JS2s in the PM?

That was my initial thought, but there were no JS1s the morning of the first JS2 release, unless I read the thread incorrectly.

+1. Also, be sure to post your stats and/or update to reflect your JS1 in the H applicant spreadsheet (link is available in the OP thanks to non-soft Hilde)

Congrats, JS1s! Could you update us with respect to your submission/completion date?

Now, to wait for JS2s...

My interviewer mentioned something about a short recess, and told me that I should hear back within 2 weeks after the fact. Does this hold for everyone, or is this a blanket statement Harvard asks them to make? I noticed that other users were told different things (such as rolling admissions, and the possibility of hearing back in January, February or March...).

I was a JS1 on Dec 3 and I was told that we would be hearing back between January-March. Not too specific.

+2, should I bother continuing to hope?

I'm not sure about the more recent waves, but I am certain that some of the waves have sent out emails not all at once. People were reporting JS1s on the day I got mine a couple hours before I received the email

See, I think it was your post that made me wonder about this. That and another user commenting on the black box that is the post-JS1 Harvard application (i.e. a faculty member needing to sign off on you before being admitted). I wonder what they are told to say, or if what they say is their own estimate.

Please channel your nervous anxiety and speculation into rain dancing for JS2s today or tomorrow before they close down.
