They'll have enough to talk about in a JS1 that you shouldn't worry about what you write in the LOCI.

Apparently they aren't re-reading files until May 1st, so I expect that we'll se JS1s around that time.

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!

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. :)

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.

Nice - maybe allow multiple options for those double depositing? Or do you want us to just pick one once and for all :) 8)

Evidently there are 2 now. Congrats on making your decision!

Also, wtf is with all the Columbia ITT and in the TLS Class of 2017 thread?

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
