Last year during the first ding wave (on Jan. 20th), the only two posters who reported a deny email in the c/o 2018 thread had both interviewed.

But, past performance doesn't guarantee future results! Fingers crossed that good news is coming your way.

Been complete since 12/2 and haven't received a JS1 yet. 172 LSAT, 3.6 GPA, MA URM. Should I delete the app status link off my bookmarks and get it over with?

Screenshotted (is that the word?) your comments on the Colombia thread as evidence that you are seriously considering a Butler over HLS.

I deleted mine long ago. Not due to despair, as I had no illusion about being competitive in the first place, but because HLS's status checker is second only to CLS's in uselessness.

The only app status checker I've found remotely useful was NYU's, which spilled the beans before I got my call. Everything else has lagged behind official notifications.

However, it did make me feel a tad more in control, in that I could actually refresh something while waiting.

Well, to be fair, it does help that the Butler is real and HLS is just a dream

My status checker says "Decision Rendered", I just haven't gotten the email yet. Looks like today might be a bit of a bloodbath. God speed, everyone.

Sorry to those receiving dings!

Any speculation as to if those of us without a JS1 and whose status checkers still show us at complete are safe today? I have little hope at this point (complete as of late October) but still hanging on a bit.

Got the ding today. Not surprised, numbers aren't even close to 25% at HLS but the fee waiver made it worthwhile. Good luck to everyone else still waiting!

Just got the email; officially dinged. :(

Went complete 11/23, no interview, status changed to "Decision Rendered" some time between last night and ten minutes ago.

I knew if I wanted to go to HLS I'd have to transfer in due to my GPA. I'm not sure if I'll end up doing that but best of luck to everyone else!

Anyone complete after 11/30 and not dinged? Barring those who have been accepted already, of course.
