Okay for purposes of interview stress alleviation. Story-time (my H interview):

Q: So what kind of law do you want to practice?
A: Oh! I'm super interested in practicing A-B-Z law. Here's why. *Gives long explanation of A-B-Z law which doesn't actually exist*
Q: I can see why you'd be interested in A-B-C law? *knows what I meant to say, being nice and helping me out*
A: Yeah! A-B-Z law!!!!
Q: :roll:

Later

Q: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
A: Um... keep on practicing A-B-Z law (which, may I remind you, does not actually exist). Except, doing more important... stuff? Like, in charge of stuff! That's important! :oops:

I was still admitted. Make whatever wild conclusions you like from this.
I definitely had an awkward moment or two as well. I got in all the same. To those scheduling/preparing for/stressing over upcoming JS1s, remember they just want to see who you are, that you aren't insane, and that you have a good idea of what you are doing (or are clear that you don't really know yet and are OK with that).

Then again, I read similar advice in the lead-up to my JS1, and I still freaked out about it before, during, and after, right up to when JS called today. So you know, whatever. :p

Did you have a perfect GPA and LSAT? Or are you just a normal person like me and maybe there's hope? :mrgreen:

I really don't know how to tackle the "why law school?" and "what type of law?" questions. I'm not one of those people who's wanted to be a lawyer since they were little. Like I want to go, but putting it into sensible words on the spot is hard.

Typically, no. However the last 'wave' this cycle was three days long, so we are hoping this is a trend that continues.
jaywil08 wrote:Was the JS2 wave on Sunday of ASW last year followed by more the next day?
No, just the Sunday. There was a few weeks gap between that acceptance wave and the next one. However, this cycle is different from last so I wouldn't put too much weight into this.
jaywil08 wrote:Also, when waves are two days long, does it often happen where two people interviewed on the same/close days but are notified on different days of the wave?
Great question; I have no clue.

Hope that helps!

if not this week, then this month for sure. i don't see a reason why the huge end of march WL/ding/acceptance would be moved later, as then we're getting closer to deposit deadlines. so between now and end of march they have like half a class to fill (not sure if it's half or not, but a sizeable portion of their class).
