I have a weird feeling that the rest of the day is going to be just acceptances... call me crazy but I have a good feeling :)

It would seem we are due for one more JS2 wave. Thinking happy thoughts for our hopeful JS1ers out there!

Hate to be a downer, but there'll almost definitely be another waitlist or rejection wave today as well (unless they actually lost my application).

There are currently 561 people in the FB group, so that seems like we have room for at least a small JS2 wave (wishful thinking for you all!)

I'd say a large JS2 wave. There are usually 900-ish admits at HLS to yield the class of 600. So there's still plenty of room on the FB page.

Does the facebook number cited above include invited members, or just members?

Harvard actually doesn't invite at all. You request to join them and they approve. So it could be under by as much as 150-200 luddites. But I doubt its 350 people off, so I think more JS2s are on the way.

Last year it got up to 742 and the year before 786 which I think should be comparable to what it will this year (assuming same # of admins etc)

What's the word on sending a LOCI, and / or additional letters of recommendation? They only took 3 originally, but maybe a 4th would help?

Still nothing from Harvard today. don't understand why they can't just send out a mass WL or denial email. Why the issue with timing. FRUSTRATING!!!

Real question, are they sending out these emails one at a time? An email from "Office of Admissions" at the John Marshall School of Law just gave me a heart attack.
