With my below 25th LSAT, I'm more likely a lingering ding (that's a gross juxtaposition) than I am a WL.

But if I am WL'd, does anyone have a link to information about the process? If the list is ranked, I doubt I'd stay on.

Me too. Pretty sure I'm just waiting for a ding which, at this point, I'm totally okay with. It'll be sweet sweet relief.
+1

there were 2 JS1s reported on TLS yesterday afternoon.

What is the date that most of us will here something by? Is there accurately a commitment to 4/1 by Harvard?

- I submitted in late Dec
- Complete early Jan
- No word either way - no W/L, ding, or JS1

I refuse to rule out the possibility of a wave today. There's no rule saying it can't happen while JS1's are going on, and there are probably only a very few JS1's going on today, since it was such a small wave.

You'll hear back by the first week of april. I think there were a few Waitlisted people who didn't hear until 4/4 last year, but they probably went complete after the deadline. 99% chance you'll hear back by 3/31.

There's a lot of us in the same boat. It would be very unlikely for us to hear nothing before 4/1. I'm expecting a lot of ding/WL to come soon

Comforting myself with the thought that since I had my interview in early January, I may be included in the next JS2 wave(s). Please let me make it to the waitlist at the very least... :?

The waiting is really nerve-wrecking.

Can you get waitlist without a JS1? *also asking for a friend*

But you can get WL w/o JS1, then get a JS1 and in off the WL.

It's crazy to think many of those with a js1 are probably already accepted but they just don't know about it yet because ad comm is waiting to do a JS2 wave.
