+10,000. I'm running out of ways to occupy my law school thirst while I'm waiting to hear from schools.

So, given the timetable and turnaround for adcomms and interviews, it's pretty much a given that ED applicants who haven't been offered an interview at this point will either be rejected, WLed, or moved to RD right?

Speculation is always dangerous and tricky, but I think what you're saying makes sense.

It would seem that anecdotally, an interview is all but necessary.

I'm pretty sure everyone in my class who was just straight accepted interviewed, but I know a few people who got in off the WL with no interview, and at least one of those people got a very substantial scholarship.

I've been UR1 for almost a month now without an interview offer. Time to worry or just slow cycle?

I wouldn't worry too much yet. It seems like a slow cycle, plus it doesn't seem like that many interview invites have gone out in late Nov/early Dec. Have to remember that Thanksgiving was in there, too.

It's promising that those who are WL -> Admit still have the possibility for scholarships.

RD First Decision Dates, according to LSN:

2017: 01/21/2014 Tuesday
2016: 01/23/2013 Wednesday
2015: 01/13/2012
2014: 01/10/2011

I looked at dates where more than 1 person revealed the decision they received, assuming anything before were ED'ers reporting their decisions.

Prediction for this year: Tuesday or Wednesday January 20th or 21st. According to last year and the year prior, they seem to release decisions after MLK Day, early in the week.....but hoping a return to early Jan. decisions, which might come true since they began interviewing RDers early this year.

I support this line of thinking...

Interesting. Thank you for the clarification.

Hit UR5 today- ED decisions coming soon?

Yes, they guarantee all ED decisions by the end of December, traditionally it's right before the holiday break - I'm assuming Monday or Tuesday the 23rd or 24th

[NimChimpsky]

I'm not sure what precedent there is for this, but today I went to UR 3, with still no interview request or anything.

Yeah there's precedent- I was UR3 before interview, UR6 now.
