One post just to say this. Highly suspect.

Ya know, a Hamilton reference on twitter would do a lot to confirm the user's cred.

If the April 1st deadline holds true, interviews would need to take place early next week, giving the adcom ~2 weeks to process and decide. This means that JS1s, if any, should come out today or Monday at the latest... IMO unless the snow day really pushed things back, then we may have a 2-3 day leeway

What do you guys think?
As a fellow JS1 waiter, I don't have much hope of there being another JS1 wave. That seems like a difficult turn around time at this point.

Though, yes, if there was going to be one it would have to be really soon.
I'm still holding onto the tiniest sliver of hope for a JS1. Not expecting one though. :(

can someone go through this thread to count which days JS1 waves have been since Jan this year?

From a previous post, until Jan 4th 2017, we had 11 JS1 waves (http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... s#p9763232)

11/04
11/10
11/14
11/21
11/23
11/28
12/02
12/05
12/14
12/20
01/04


Last year there were 24 JS1 waves until Mar, but there don't seem to have been that many so far.

I think 2:15 would be the ideal time for a wave today (splitting the difference between last year's 3/10-3/11 wave times because it's a combined super mega divine tsunami).

Last cycle, there weren't any JS1 waves this late in the year. Of course, you could always go waitlist->JS1->admission.

In years past, I gather that there've been JS1 waves super late in the cycle, and then JS2's given out a week later. So it's possible.

If I were you, I'd hold out hope until tomorrow. After tomorrow, I'd start managing expectations. I think the odds of another JS1 wave with less than 2 weeks until the due date are quite low.

The more realistic hope is that you'll get in off the waitlist; the best estimates we have say that about 1 in 4 people do. Those aren't bad odds, and even if they aren't great odds they're better than the odds of a JS1 next week or later.
does H do several JS1 interviews simultaneously? how many slots they usually do in a day?

Also seriously, how do people keep discovering how many slots there are/when they are? Is there a secret website I know not of? Enlighten me, o wise ones.

If you've been invited to interview you can access the calendar where you schedule one, even if your interview is complete. The calendar shows which time slots are still available or which days they're holding interviews but the slots are full.

yeah but my guess is that they post them literally as the email invitations are going out because right now there's nothing on the calendar at all!

It's officially over. If they were gonna make some decisions they would have at least announced it on their twitter. Today is not the day. I am sorry I let everyone down with my predictions. Ann Taylor roll through da cribo.
