Sorry to hear :cry: . I think we can confirm. And that it's a mixed JS1 and JS-less wave.

Any other huge splitters waiting on JS1s? Maybe they're pushing splitter decisions off for a while?

This biggest lie :lol: :lol: I gotta get back to work, man.

Not sure what qualifies as huge, but I'm still waiting at <25th GPA and =75th LSAT. Went complete late January. It makes sense that splitters would be among the last to be considered, though, because that way the admissions committee has the opportunity to run the stats on their already-admitted pool and see if they "need" us to balance out percentile brackets.

reverse splitter, technically. GPA>75%, LSAT<25%. complete early December.

Bumping this! Got my JS1 tomorrow and not feeling very confident with my stats. How much do stats matter post interview?

I think the weight is applicant specific. Weighs more heavily, I would imagine, for the people further from the medians.

This really needs to be the LAST thing you are thinking about in the 24 hours leading up to your interview. Stats are already baked into the cake. Your application attracted their attention and you were chosen to interview while thousands of others this cycle were not. Be positive, be yourself, and don't try to self-prognosticate prior to your interview!

Trust me, you will have plenty of time to worry about these things after your interview. Good luck!

I'm calling now that there won't be a JS2 wave until next week, but I would be more than happy to be wrong about that.

Assuming that the ding waves are over for the time being, I do think it is a good sign for any of the leftover Dec/Jan JS1ers who survived yesterday and today, but I am basing that purely on speculation and not any sort of prior thread analysis.

Really hoping you're wrong, but you're probably not. A lot of January JS1-ers in the last wave. I think the early Februarys (read: me) can rest pretty easy also.

Looking back at the thread, it seems as though the JS2 wave on Thurs. 2/11 started off at about 12:30-12:40, but then went all the way to 5:30 or so. Jan. 14th it looks like reports first started coming in at around 3:30. So maybe there is still time to get started today into tomorrow.
