I skipped to the end for the bloodbath. #masochism :|
I remember the end. It was brutal.

At least it all came before deposits are due ...

Oh well, back to refreshing the UChicago thread I suppose.
It's kind of like an advanced waitlist I think. I think we'll hear back sooner than the waitlist though, and we can still get waitlisted from here. Take that how you will...

hey guys joining the group. I'm not really sure how updating your file works so I'm hoping you guys can help me out. Should LORs be sent through LSAC? and due LOCI directly to admissions via email or snail mail?

(Asking on behalf of a friend--I got a straight-up rejection my cycle.) Are there any hold --> admits who did not have a pre-Hold JR1 (but submitted early enough that they could have)? Sorry, I know this is remarkably specific, and I didn't see any from a quick skim on LSN, but just trying to figure out if I should encourage her to hold out hope or if that is cruel! Good luck to all of you!

Held today as well ....also dinged by Michigan and Georgetown. Weird day for me. But I have to say that I am NOWHERE near Harvard's LSAT range. I am truly wondering why they did not flat out reject me. Oh well, here's for false hope!

Yeah they've been holding a lot of people today who think they should've been auto-dings. I wonder why they're being so loose with their hold list. I feel like they should be on Hoarders since they just can't seem to let go of any apps.

Hey everybody. I was held today as well - nice to see some familiar faces around here. I have no idea what I'm doing here, to be honest. Given my numbers (174/3.4) I've been expecting the auto-ding for some time now. I guess this is a small victory in itself for me.

Someone's gotta teach me how to do a LOCI and if I get another recommendation, do I use LSAC or send it straight to Harvard?
