I'm pretty sure at least some action will continue during next week. It looks like there hasn't been a single URM / URM-type of admit so far- which makes total sense, they wan't to get their house (medians) in order first and follow up with invites for the rest afterwards.

This data is dif from OP. Is this because you can't find dates for the data points you don't include? I would suggest that the ones w/o dates are from after the wave cause that's when people are most likely to include the date.

Did they admit as many people this year (prior to WL) as were accepted in previous years?
In case they admitted a lower # of people, there will be more post-WL admits to compensate (hence the large post-WL js1 wave)

Yes that is exactly why.

Maybe. Maybe not. Still far too speculative for me to feel comfortable drawing conclusions that may not be true. I'll still try to list the numbers though.

Will probably add this to OP.

Does anyone think it's worth sending a brief LOCI updating them on graduation and specifically stating that I'd attend?

Yeah. They like to know that you did indeed graduate, especially if your GPA didn't go down!

I finished school and December but just walked last week and am now "officially" done - does that matter? Thanks for replying!

Hmm. I'd send it if you walked with honors or something. Otherwise there isn't anything new.

Looks like there is one, Aiaea (my guess). See spreadsheet!

Even as a URM, this WL cycle hasn't lent itself towards a 3.52/162 getting in yet. All the pulls have been big GPA non-URMs, so I'm very skeptical that their info is legit.

Good catch! Aiaea has the same the LSAT but a little different GPA, so maybe it isn't real.

Time for the long wait.

What is everyone doing in the meantime before we get accepted?

Just loungin...

Will probably be URM / Strong softs the rest of the way -- fine-tooth-comb time.

Any thoughts on when the next acceptance will come?

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
