Apparently they aren't re-reading files until May 1st, so I expect that we'll se JS1s around that time.Marshmallow wrote:last year on April 25, there was a JS1 wave.

Current HLS 1L who applied literally the first day the application opened --> Held --> Waitlisted --> Accepted.
I was an unlikely acceptance (below 25th percentile LSAT after third try, among a few other reasons). I'm sure this won't ease the anxiety much, but there is hope! Hang in there!

Re: Harvard Waitlist 2017 - WITH SPREADSHEET!
Anecdotally I've heard of people getting accepted in August, but per LSN and the last WL thread it was pretty much over by late June last cycle.
On another note, given that an adcom at ASW said they will start looking at our applications again this week, there could be some JS1 action soon.

Thanks for the encouraging words. I remember reading about your acceptance while browsing last year's waitlist thread.kfischm1 wrote:Current HLS 1L who applied literally the first day the application opened --> Held --> Waitlisted --> Accepted.

Re: Harvard Waitlist 2017 - WITH SPREADSHEET!
Just got an email from UVA (forgot to withdraw) that they don't plan on using their waitlist much if at all.
I am worried schools overcorrected from last year and we wont see much wl movement.

Maybe, although UVA consistently has a tougher WL than Harvard does.
