I like this group of 170 friends we got here. I like the 170 batch idea, hope you are right about the 170 club.

Heck I may just start a 170 club thread.

DO IT.

Good things can still happen even if you have been waiting for awhile. Sometimes they come from unexpected directions. I've been UR at Harvard since 10/19 but got into Yale yesterday, applications submitted within days of each other. Crazy, right?

Congrats! I hope to duplicate that!

Congrats to everyone that has already received a JR1 or JR2!!! I went UR on 11/15, and got an email about being complete 11/22, and was just wondering what people thought my chances of getting a JR1 are. I am 174/3.87, right out of college, nothing especially unique in terms of softs, probably good recs.

I have basically the exact same numbers/submission dates and I'm still waiting for a JR 1, too. I think we've got a pretty good shot, but we're going to have be really patient.

I'm right there with you also. Identical numbers to ivan and no JR1. I'm a retaker though so my chances are probably only half yours lol.

Maybe we'll all be in the same batch... which will be sent out today...

What's the normal wait between going under review and an interview request?
I see that I've been under review for a couple weeks now.

Tomorrow will be 4 weeks for me.

[123kl]

I got one after 5 weeks yesterday!! Have hope! I have far from amazing numbers.

[cardinals1989]

Alas, I am at 2 months, but I already knew if they were even going to look at me, then it would be much later.

Does anyone have a sense of the proportion of people that are held? And can you be held if you applied back in September, or are you pretty much rejected at this point (because in some sense, you have already been "held" for 3 months)? Are people that are held typically from later applications (Nov/Dec)?

[hoopla14]

Think I was a little over two weeks - went UR around the middle of November, JR1 email November 30th.

Do you get a "held" email if you end up being "held"?

If I remember correctly, there was a "hold" batch in mid-January last year. I don't know if there were any subsequent holds.

Could you imagine? "An email from Harvard? A JR1????....'Held.' "

Haha, well better than a rejection, no less.

Yes I would be very thrilled with a WL. I would go nuts with an acceptance.

[Ragged]

I was held/rejected last cycle. If the 4 extra LSAT points will not atleast get me a WL I will be
