I'm a little late to the party, but I was also given a JS1.

You got this Brett.

Congrats to the JS1s! Good luck and I hope you all get in. Unfortunately, I also want to be admitted and feel like I just had my heart ripped out this morning.

I know the feeling.

Don't lose hope too quickly though; today was the first group of JS1 invites and there could very well be more this week.

Lol JS1s..... This feels like a flashback to October.

Congrats everyone!!!

Thanks Draw. I'm sure you have felt like that a few times in your post js1 purgatory. I think today stung a little because it was the first time I actually had some hope. After looking up what happened last year on tls and lsn, it seemed like applicants with similar numbers as me had outstanding success off the waitlist. Obviously what a school needs/looks for from waitlisted applicants changes from year to year and I have no idea how that will affect things this cycle.

Any baseless speculation as to how this JS1 wave impacts those who had pre-WL JS1s? Could we possibly see a JS2 wave this week?

drawstring · Post by **drawstring** » Tue May 06, 2014 7:02 pm

According to an adcom, JS2s are starting around the 15th-20th.

WL JS1b usually comes after the majority of the WL JS1s are done. According to earlier posters, JS1 can be scheduled all the way to Friday this week, so that effectively rules out this week as far as I am concerned. I am also not very optimistic about next week unless JS will not do as many WL JS1s this cycle compared to last. Given the late timing of WL JS1s this cycle, early the week after the next is more likely.

Looks like we are in the same boat (h and y waitlisted). Did you happen to notice that harvard has a "wait list " whereas yale has a "waitlist?' Cleary one of them must be wrong.

Anyway, it seems like making the waitlist at yale suggests you are a pretty strong candidate for Harvard, given the relative class sizes. Thoughts?

I'm also waitlisted at Y/H and received JS1 today. I applied mid-late January, so not sure if that hurt my chances at H.

I have no idea where to start with my LOCI, anyone have a template/their own LOCI they're willing to share? PM me if you don't want to post it in the thread. I will forever be in your debt!

LOCIs tend to be personal. You don't want a cookie-cutter one. Try this link:

Your Butler + MBA deal with Columbia looks incredible though. I'd probably go with that.

Given my preference of living in NYC/CA I think Columbia's 3-year program is a really good option, though I wouldn't want to pay sticker for it. If I get off the waitlist at Yale that would be a lot cheaper though due to likely need-based aid at YLS and a scholarship from SOM. Not really interested in a 4-year program but if I did go to HLS would consider applying for it there (didn't apply joint this year).
