Looking at the stats on LSN, I feel like they're just playing with your head. Looking at Harvard's 25-75 ranges I'm a major splitter (175 LSAT, 3.6 GPA). I keep on toying with the idea of applying but honestly don't know if it's worth the effort/money.
Worst case scenario is you're out 100 bucks. But at least you don't have to deal with asking yourself "what if."
Yea, I just applied.

More info for everyone: I also got a JR1 invite for Monday. I was part of the big group that got held, and I haven't sent in new materials or anything; I'd actually resigned myself to my fate. Numbers are uninspiring, PM me for them, so there's more hope for everyone who got held (and everyone with shitty numbers).

So I just realized that my complete email has a status checker link, but no user name or password. Has anyone else had this and is there any reason to check the status check? I'm pretty much assured an auto-ding so I'm not all that fussed, but it is a little odd.

I went complete first week of November, I had a lower first score that's held me back some as I've been WLed from Chicago and Penn, but I'm in at Duke and Georgetown

I went complete in early December, and haven't heard anything either, not even a hold.

Still sitting pretty at UR 11/30. But given my #s, I'm not exactly getting my hopes up.

I think there should be a system similar to what rating agencies use for rating countries' economies for people that received no news at all, like me:

Application Under Review

Outlook: Positive / Negative

I have currently no idea what they think about me, maybe they took my application form out and atm using it as dart board.

No, I never had a JR1 - you have me confused with someone else.

You sent the LOCI after you got the hold today? Did you already have it written or did you write it today?

Make a new thread for us to wildly speculate in? Entitle it "I Haven't Heard Shit from Harvard 2011"
