Maybe we should take heart from today's tweet?

""[L]aw school for me was a 'when' not 'if' decision."

[Timantha]

but when we all meet in Cambridge in August I will host a belated celebration party to make up for it

Yes please

Also, give up for today? Any wild speculations for the rest of the week...?

[schocolate]

I had to go to class, and then when I get back and am able to check TLS I see that not only have we reached page 100 (great job guys), but also there has been some huge outpouring of love for me. You guys are all awesome. I'm getting married in June so I wont be able to meet any of you in time to invite you to the wedding (though if Winter gives me his spot I might make the best man thing happen (although I would rather he didn't withdraw so that we can all be buddies and go to schocolate's pastry parties (but I totally understand taking the Ruby instead (I wonder how many parentheticals I can nest)))), but when we all meet in Cambridge in August I will host a belated celebration party to make up for it (we're having a dry wedding so you guys would probably have more fun at the party anyway )

I have found my calling in life.

Also, eee, weddings! My inner wedding fiend has recently developed, and I'm super excited for you guys and I hope it's beautiful and magical and everything nice. And I look forward to this party. Maybe there will be pastries.

I've officially decided you are my new law school bff.

Does anyone know if the LSAC website may have more updated admit/scholly info than the school's online status checker? (For Harvard and other schools)

To the best of my knowledge, no information of this kind is available from LSAC.

Okay, I thought so! I just saw a post in another thread saying they found admit info on the LSAC site, but they might have meant the Online Status Checker .

[Hildegard15]

You're going to let QC take WinterComing's spot without a fight, and you claim you're not soft?

Not soft, just strategic. Why fight over one spot when I know at least two other TLSers who will most likely be withdrawing? You don't get to be my age without learning how to pick your battles

Another day, another missed JS1 wave

[Schneidersbetter]

Hey quick question guys. LSAC just updated my transcript with the Fall grades I sent in, and I imagine they are going to send a new report out to all the schools. Any idea if this will push back when I might receive decisions, just because they need to reassess my file? (Asides from the fact that my grades dropped a bit?)

This wait is brutal

BUT just wanted to point out--for fellow JS1s still holding out hopes for a JS2--that at least per the LSN data, we're pretty much right on track with last year. This time last year, about 15-20 people had reported being admitted on LSN, and about the same number had reported being rejected.

Graph: http://mylsn.info/d/harvard/1415-NoED/

This year, almost exactly the same: http://harvard.lawschoolnumbers.com/app ... ort=status

This suggests we should be on the verge of a big wave of acceptances, like Feb 2-3 last year (see graph above). This should alleviate any concern that the "big wave" of JS2s has already passed, especially for early applicants. The "big wave" on Feb 2-3 last year included lots and lots of October-November applicants.

So...tomorrow?!?!

ETA okay maybe it shouldn't alleviate any concern, but I'm hopeful

The use of the letters/acronym JS2 outside of a large block of text just gave me a panic attack. Please avoid.

Really looking forward to another day of you guys making the wait infinitely better, and hopefully if we are lucky, well... you guys know.

Have other admits been super impressed with the students and alumni that the school puts you in touch with?

You need to take your admitted privilege to the c/o 2019 thread there's no room for that here.

[Euthyphro]

Have other admits been super impressed with the students and alumni that the school puts you in touch with?

When did they put you in touch with alumni/students? Are they people in your area?

January admit, so I might have to wait a bit, but I'm just curious (and excited).

I really like everyone that's reached out so far!! Interests right up my alley and such great resources for decision making
