Whoa 53 slots is a lot - I'd imagine we'll see a big wave once the office opens again.

Late but I got my js1 Christmas Eve day! I'll have my interview jan. 6th!

Any tips??

I haven't had an interview yet, but from what I've heard it's very conversational - know why law and why Harvard. Congrats on the JS1!

Last cycle (from LSN), the first JS2 wave after the New Year came on January 23rd. Also the first wave of rejections came on January 17th. Don't know about the first JS1 wave though.

They seem to have substantially strayed from trends in the past years so lets hope that that translates to JS2s and JS1 invites this week

I hope you're right!

It was surprising to see the January 17th rejection wave though. Didn't realize we were creeping up to that point in the cycle so soon.

No movement yet? It is already 13 mn after 10

I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't any real movement today. Another school I emailed who took the same break had an auto-response essentially saying "Don't expect us to respond within a week, we'll be digging out of the accumulated Christmas-vacation junk until 1/12."

Yeah, because of the long break the school took, I wouldn't expect any offers (JS1 or JS2) until next week or so so that they get everything sorted... Plus they have to conduct the JS1s invited just before the Christmas break

Sounds reasonable. Are there stats on the December lsat score out there?

IIRC there was another batch of JS1 slots available for next week, implying that we would see a JS1 wave this week. But it also makes sense that they'll need to catch up from the break first.

[lawschoolplease1]

did anyone get js1? thought these might be automated...

The slots are still there, so probably not

[GomJabbar]

It seems like the turnaround between interviewing and acceptance is going to be considerably longer this cycle. Is that a fair assumption?

At this point it's a fact.

There were Js1 last cycle on January 16th.
Hopeful for some movement by Friday, but next week seems more likely.

[morimoto1991]

seems weird that we would have to wait so long. seems like other schools have shown some movement this week.

Had an interview today - I was a little surprised, but it went well. I love Harvard's style. Feel free to PM if you want any insights into the process.

I know this cycle is different from last, but that sea of red from the graphs in the OP for decisions in Jan, Feb, Mar, and April are starting to scare me...

Move all the greens from November and most of the ones from December into those months though, and it looks much friendlier

Had mine today as well and, while I wasn't really surprised, I agree with the sentiment that it was very conversational.

[LSCHI]

I know this has probably been covered before (Sorry!) but how long does it usually take to go from complete to receiving JS1?

[pylon]

It really depends. There are some people who wait a few months, and some who wait less than a week. However, I believe the most recent complete date to receive a JS1 on the Dec 24th wave was around Dec 8th - 12th.

Thanks! That relieves some of the anxiety.

I found some of the questions subtle and intriguing. Largely the interview seemed like a test of your ability to communicate/socialize. But it definitely seemed like she was clarifying perceived weaknesses in my app as well.

Really wish we knew more about the faculty review process/timeline.
