Harvard JR1 but no JR2 (yet?) Club Forum

Who here believes that (a) JR's impression of you is integral to the decision of whether or not to admit you, or (b) that it's essentially a psycho-check intended to stave off serial killers and people who can't string a sentence together.
Thoughts?

Maybe for people at the margins of the green zone, it can be a factor...like me. Many applicants are at those margins, and they have to choose which ones to accept and reject somehow, so I believe the interview is at least worth a little bit.

Don't be concerned if it didn't seem to go well. I talked so fast that he had to ask me to repeat myself, and I still managed a JR2. Try to relax.

shitty JR1 yesterday (~6 mins) - just couldn't keep it together I guess

Hold email this morning... the quick turnaround = not good!

man is that brutal. a one day turnaround for a hold seems crazy. you have to wonder with a turnaround like that if they had their minds made up already before the interview (but then why would they give the JR1? it's confusing). do you mind sharing #s?

complete email = neutral. it does not guarantee you will or will not get a JR2 or anything like that

Gah, Monday cannot come soon enough. Of course when it comes and goes with no call, it'll be a different story...

so the JR2 is a call not email? good to know.

portena · Post by **portena** » Thu Jan 21, 2010 7:42 pm

Yep, which means I'll be doing nothing but staring at my phone from 9-5 this Monday and possibly many Mondays to come.

This is one of the few times I appreciate the time difference here in CA... less of a wait.

Wow, that is awful. Definitely worse than what happened to me. I feel for you.

At least I didn't have your anxiety (though I'm still missing my SLS admission) - opened my email and was like... well shit, might as well throw me in the WL or Reject pile

ps - has anyone been WL'd yet, or just holds?

hahaha... well good... I was hoping that some how being held might be slightly better than the WL... looks like it's just an early glorified one... cheers!

JR1 12/22

Still no JR2, hold, or anything after the complete email that came right after JR1.

Should I be panicking yet?

you and me both sir/madam. although my JR1 was a bit after yours. i think we are in *slightly* better shape than the hold people, but it could be a very short time until we get our own hold emails

This is torture! I didn't sleep at all last night, and from the looks of it, this could be but the first of many angst-ridden Mondays for me.
