Johann's cryptic tweets are really taking a toll on my blood pressure.

WE'RE CLOSING THE OFFICE BUT WON'T TELL YOU WHY LOL

(probably a nice department luncheon, tbh)

+1

Closed from 12-2? Sounds like a luncheon to me as well lol

[fallingup]

Maybe it's just crunch time and they want 2 hours of uninterrupted work time?

ETA: Obviously this doesn't matter at all but it's fun to speculate.

Interesting read in part about the benifets of the AJD, with views from NU's dean

It seems like they've just been letting in auto-admits so far--any consensus?

Complete since 12/13 and I'm waiting...

It's def not just auto admits because they let in a few yesterday with lower numbers then me and I am not an auto admit

Maybe URMs?

Don't think so. I am definitely not a URM... (unless you count Asian as URM)

You also have a 176/3.85 which is auto-admit regardless of URM status

And I wish Asian was URM

[shntn]

Nope.

Yes but you are an auto admit

They didn't say so I dunno.

Oh, I misread that--yeah, it is unclear as to what the groupings were, if any.

Johann's twitter:

if you were having issues with your hold letter. the issue has now been resolved.

My problem with my hold letter is that it doesn't say I was accepted.

[Ramius]

My date changed to today from 11/9, but still just as complete. Anyone experience anything like this, and if so, did you receive a decision soon after?

Not me personally, but other people have reported changes in their complete date without a decision letter available. Maybe one of them will chime in if they received a decision soon after...

[mosquito]

Any one know the 2 year JD program for international lawyers in NU? Is there a decision on applications for this program available?

[Jaqen]

I was WL yesterday. Now my decision letter says held.

[alwayssunnyinfl]

Damn, mine still says dinged.

So it was a mistake and I was supposed to be held from the get-go?

Isn't waitlist the same as hold?

[az21833]

Beginning in February, we expect to complete our re-evaluation of those candidates who have chosen to remain on
hold.

From the (new) letter. Whereas if you're WLed you have to wait longer I think.

Those are probably ED applicants that didn't specify that or those deferred admit people.

No. Being held and being placed on the waiting list are different things.

so i already answered one of the optional essays with my original application. Thoughts on sending in the other one now in a desperate attempt to tip the scales in my direction?
