According to the spreadsheet, so far the average time to hear back is 55 days, and it takes up to 2 weeks to go complete.

Wow thank you.

I contacted Mr. Janecek who helped me sort it out directly via Facebook invitation. But it's certainly good to know and should be noted for those who might need it in the future.

haha thanks :D I made the mistake of making my lawschoolnumbers account my actual name (and I'm anticipating some serious scholarship negotiations), so I had to choose something else. So I choose how I've been feeling for the past 2 weeks haha!

This is also only the 2nd year final exams have been held before Christmas, so timing grading + admissions files could also be a work in progress.
+1 seems valid to me. faculty are just not focused on reading apps

Yeah, I'm surprised (lol not really) that there hasn't been movement today. I thought the tweet implied that they had a lot of admission decisions to make up for lost time. Apparently not; these waves seem super small, even for Yale.


Yeah, I wonder if we are in for a large wave ever, or small groups from now---april?
