Hoping so! Sounds about right based on previous years. Fingers crossed.

I'm not as stressed since I know I won't be in the first batch of JS1s

If you don't mind my asking, what makes you think that?

Acceptances to UVA and Duke have given me enough confidence to officially check in to this thread!

Did you do the ten day thing? Not sure about being in North Carolina, but its a great place and I'm enticed by the potential ego boost and comfort of having a good admission in the bag. Also their Dean was at an event in DC and he seems like a cool guy. Downside: I get dinged at a school that is easier to get into than some other places I applied and it backfires spectacularly. What to do...

There's no downside to applying PT(the 10 day thing). Schools are not going to know if you've been rejected from another school, so it will not hurt your chances. I would definitely do it if you're invited since it waives the application fee.

That probably wasn't clear, I meant the downside is an ego blow instead of an ego boost. I appreciate the encouragement though!! I think I'm going to do it

If they knock me, I'll blame you and Ruiz for my deflated self esteem.

It's too late. Harvard has witnessed your actions.

You have committed crimes against Harvard and her people. What say you in your defense?

I am nice!

I am the nicest!

In the compendium my last few posts have been about the logistics of buying twelve corgis!

New Poll Idea: When will the first JS1s come out?

It can be like everybody's favorite waiters thread poll where everyone's guesses are wildly early/optimistic and then they actually come out like a week later but by then the whole thread is pissed off because all those October 20 for JS1s! votes got their hopes up

Real talk though, I'm pretty sure I scared away a former lurker who popped up in the NU thread so I'm trying to atone for my mistakes in true Ice Clown form.
