that said, my predictions have been so poor that i'm not even willing to put monopoly money on the line haha

There's a reason we're all armchair AdComs (or Monday Morning Admission Deans?).

[DiniMae]

Does anyone think the new rankings next week will determine their # of admits (versus accept off a wait list)? As in, might they want to initially admit less people than the normal 900-1000 (I think that's the ballpark)?

It just seems like there is a long way to go on JS2s so late in the cycle.

I don't think the rankings are gonna tell them anything they don't already know. Pretty much all the data that goes into the rankings is already public. Let's say H falls to 3rd. That happened two (three?) years ago and they didn't shrink class size. Other factors COULD lead them to shrink size, but it won't be this year's rankings. Not to mention the fact that IIRC schools generally announce a class size change before the beginning of the cycle, not during.

Oh ok

Yes that's what I want as asking.
Sorry, just realized I misunderstood your question. I think you're talking about H admitting off WL rather than straight admit b/c of ranking's effect on yield. While I suspect they won't let the rankings affect yield calculation, I don't have any evidence for that. This is a good question for Mike/Karen in the ask an adcom thread.

sorry to those rejected today

so - was there a js2 wave today? I think it's been so long since our last wave, that if there was acceptances, more than 1 would have shown up on LSN... my gut is saying (or maybe also hoping) that it was just a mistake on LSN from an acceptance in the earlier waves.

Seems like it was a ding wave, not a js2 wave.

sry, I meant js2 wave in addition to the js2 ding wave (some discussion about an acceptance reported on LSN in the morning)

edit: because my original comment made no sense

qwerty is drunk haha

but no, i think the general consensus is no js2 wave in addition to the ding wave. our guess is the js2 from LSN just reported late.

Yeah, I figure this morning's acceptance was probably an anomaly and not part of a wave. I think we'll see a significant JS2 wave sometime this week, maybe even tomorrow.

[everything_bagel]

every time there's a glimmer of hope means i have to actively refrain from obsessively checking my phone every 10 minutes

are you the bastard child of blueberrycrumble and everything_bagel? if so plz PW

do itttt

Really sorry to hear about the rejections ITT...h doesn't know what it's missing!

[Oskosh]

Are the dings sequential? What are the complete dates of this ding wave if so?

[blueberrybagel]

dinged today. JS1 in january. above 75th GPA and between 25-50 LSAT. hope this info helps. good luck everybody!

So sorry to hear that. Are you a K-JD?

[Oskosh]

Sorry about the dings. Could we get completion dates, and not just JS1 dates for those of us who have yet to receive a JS1?

[Atmosphere]

Most recent complete -> ding was 2/28 w/ like 171 | 3.4ish

[DK21]

Really sucks to see so many rejections. Do we usually see rejection and acceptance waves come around the same time? I think some people had said their interviewers suggested they'd hear back early march, so this week makes sense, but I'm wondering if waves like the one today have been signs of more decisions to come at other times this cycle.

[Cerberus12]

Still no JR1, submitted early october... Not really expecting to get in Med <LSAT>25 and GPA<25 but it would certainly be nice of they would make a decision... Or at least open my application.

Based on wild speculation and mylsn.info it did look like in past cycles it went rejection acceptance waitlist. Not sure what the changes in this cycle connote or if I'm deriving a pattern from tea leaves but such is applying for law school.

[Veronica2015]

Checking in! Just received my Feb score. Hope that JS hasn't called too many applicants

[pylon]

Sorry to everyone who was rejected today; I'm sure you have great options elsewhere!

[pylon]

I can't believe it's been basically a month since our last JS2 wave!

[whosinthehousejc]

But for real... today's the day, right?

[pylon]

Below is a graph of applicant movement by month, comparing last cycle to this one (using info from the threads). Movement defined as JS1, JS2, Rejection, and WL.

Now, we know the cycle is different, but it is exciting/scary to see how much is in store for March (I say scary because a lot of the movement in March were WL and rejection waves at the end of the month)... Also my monopoly money is on today.

Another ding posted on LSN just now w/ decision date of today 3/3, but it was posted at the same time as another decision on poster's profile (decision-dated 2/10). I think it was probably from yesterday's wave, or at least hope so. Don't wanna see another ding wave today, and I think 9:30 EST is a bit early for decisions, right?

[Ris19]

Sorry to kick it off but Dinged this morning, no Js1, complete mid November.

Wow, another day of dings. Sorry to hear that Ris. Good luck w/ the rest of your cycle.
