Harvard Law c/o 2020 Applicants (2016-2017) Forum

so if I haven't gone JS1 but also haven't been rejected, I'll probably be waitlisted? Thoughts on writing a LOCI now?

I think it's hard to infer one way or the other. I would not do a LOCI though.

Is tomorrow a snow/WFH day too?

I doubt it.

Shouldn't be. The show is supposed to stop late tonight which will give them plenty of time to keep the roads clear. Tomorrow should be a regular day but if not it should only be a delayed start

I doubt it.

I work at Harvard and have meetings tomorrow on campus and haven't received any messages telling me offices are remaining closed, so I'm going to say the university will be running normally tomorrow.

Prediction based on LSN: Almost all rejections have occurred. If you're still standing, you are probably WL or A. If you haven't gotten a JS1, it'll either come by 3/31 -- or it won't. Almost everyone will know something (JS1/JS2/WL) by 3/31.

Recommendation for your and my and our communal sanity: Moving forward, post results instead of speculation.

But speculation is so much fun! And we've got to get to 180 somehow...

Also, haven't there been a fair number of late-March dings in past cycles? IDK where I read that, I could be wrong.

Not that I noticed, but I only looked at last year's wave. The vast majority of rejections occurred by mid march, with a few speckled in after. I don't see why the response bias for earlier rejections would be higher than for later ones, so I think it might be a real trend.

I encourage everyone to look for themselves and draw their own conclusions. My statement was an "almost all," so I am aware that it's not a universal rule...

I guess we're just disagreeing over "most" vs. "almost all," so it's not a big deal. I'm pretty sure that there'll be at least a few splitters rejected (for example), but how many "a few" is remains to be seen.

Yeah, I would say that's true. I'd say maybe like 10% of rejections haven't happened yet.

The trends from prior years have not necessarily held this year. I think we're extrapolating from incomplete data. I encourage optimism in this process, but let's not speculate without basis. I think our resident data analyst, Pozzo, is on a flight today, and, without him, I think we MUST forsake trend analysis in favor of childlike hope.

I hate to be the one to relay bad news, however, in reviewing posts from last year's Harvard thread there were large ding waves on March 17th, 23rd and 28th. I see no reason for great optimism beyond my usual hopefulness. Good luck to all, may the admissions cycle bring you the result you need.

If Im still here on April 1st, I'll be giddy.

Should we assume that all the JS1 waves have happened for this cycle? Or do you think there will be one more next week?

Clearly they're reading this thread's tweet-overreactions and deciding to toy with us because it's hilarious

Means they'll sit down together to have committee meeting and decisions will come out tomorrow or Friday.

[lawschool2016nyc]

Well, they did the same thing, tweet that they are back, after last month's snow storm. So maybe just striving for consistency...?
