I'd kill a man for a JR1 at this point.

I love how it's over the JR1, not JR2... I'm just a sore loser

EDIT: when do you think the Held folks will get reassessed?

My guess? Never. I took a look at the "Held at Harvard" threads from past years and didn't see any acceptances amid the limited number of people whose info was there. From the few people who did still have info up, it seems like a hold is just a precursor to being sent directly to the waitlist - do not pass Go, do not collect $200.

Again, though, the info I found was limited, so perhaps someone better informed can weigh in.

I just checked this out and came up with different conclusion. I should've saved the links, but I didn't. Suffice it to say that most of the received a WL. However, I saw a few acceptances as well (probably about 25% of the people who posted originally). Given that many of the people in the thread I was examining decided against sending LOCI or didn't seem like they had done much since they originally applied, I think those of us that have improved GPAs, landed impressive jobs, got a little WE, published works, etc actually stand a decent chance of--if nothing else--getting off a waitlist.

Ugh you make me want to do something with my life, rather than post on TLS, so I can get into Harvard. Think a new LOR would woo them?

I sent in an new LOR, a description of the new job I'm working at and a reference number, a description of my last semester and how it effected my transcripts (raised GPA minimally), a brief list of some accomplishments from the last five months, my plans for the next sixth months and a lot of love. Haha. hth.

I hope your LOCI wasn't as riddled with typos as the above post was.

Me too.

I would drink a gallon of milk in an hour for a JR1. Of course I'm doing it for $5 anyway soon.

Just make sure you don't vomit on anything that costs more than $5 to replace.

Wow, you're cheap.

It's something I wanted to try anyway. It's actually a bet so if I fail I have to pay five dollars and the cost of the milk. I know that's ridiculous, but at least I'll learn something about myself.

An hour might be enough time; just divide the gallon into six equal parts and drink one every 10 minutes. How long to do you have to hold it in to collect?

Every time I've done it (twice) or seen it done, the challenge is to drink the gallon in 30 minutes and hold it in for 15. That, I think, is impossible.

Tentatively the rule is that I'm not allowed to send it back up, but I can use the bathroom. 30 minutes sounds crazy.
