Interview request at 9:50.

Does anyone know if the questions in a post-WL JS1 are any different from a pre-WL JS1?

Is it the case that people who were waitlisted after a JS1 get JSWs?

I think so. I was asking about whether the actual interview questions change at all for post-WL JS1s, or if they're the same as the pre-WL JS1 questions that are posted.

Congrats to those who just got an interview request!

On the flip side of the coin, if we don't get an interview request today is there pretty much no chance of getting one?

I would speculate that if you don't get an interview request today, you probably won't get one for this wave. But of course I could be wrong.

Is there typically more than one waitlist wave?

Is there typically more than one waitlist wave?

If I recall from last year's thread, it was two waves in May with more trickling in over the rest of the summer, mostly in June. Looks like the playbook is different this year, though, so who knows?

18 slots is rough - there were 40 last year for the first wave. Please report on the final number of slots open!

Are all 18 slots filled, or are there going to be more emails out today?

Congrats to those JS1s! The 19th is my bday so I'm still holding out hope there will be another few emails going out...

[kelloggcookiemonster]

got an interview invite this morning what are the chances of being admitted now? No pre waitlist js1.

Congrats!! I believe that means you have a slightly stronger chance of admission than those who interviewed pre-WL.

Ah I see...I thought it was guaranteed admissions I mean...why interview more people than you need to when you know the WLsters will accept.

There are still 7 slots open - I have my fingers crossed for you!

Thanks!

And here's to JS2s for all

[thestruggle]

Congrats to the interview requests today!!

18 really is one of the smallest first waves though :/ I wonder if there will even be another in may

Is anyone having trouble accessing HLS applicant data on LSN?

[kelloggcookiemonster]

A number of people has asked me for my stats and whether I had sent in a LOCI. If this helps anyone, here it goes:

- GPA = median
- 25% < LSAT < median
- LOCI submitted in mid-April
- LOCI word count 750+
- Work Exp = 2+

Let me know if you need anything else.

I'm assuming all the interview slots are full now? I told myself that if I didn't hear anything in the first wave then I was moving on so I'm probably withdrawing next week. Congrats to all JS1s today!

[berek]

Woof - I was blissfully unaware that JS1's were going out. Congrats to all who got 'em! None for me, but I'm a glutton for punishment, so I'll keep clinging to hope.

Also, hope this isn't too creepy, but I lurked a bit on the '19 FB group to try and (fruitlessly, irrationally) get a sense of yield. In the group of 600, there are: 2 admins, 8 definite YLS commits, 1 definite NYU commit, 2 definite SLS commits, and 71 definite HLS commits.

Feel free to pontificate wildly about what this incredibly scrappy data means

4 slots still open!

So you're telling me there's a chance.......

ETA: something tells me those four slots are people who just haven't checked their email yet and/or haven't scheduled the interview. But of course I hope I'm wrong.
