Early Jan applicant, no JS1 no ding... Waitlist bound??

FloridaCoastalorbust · Post by **FloridaCoastalorbust** » Thu Mar 19, 2015 1:56 pm

10/15 complete w/ a 169. I'm WL-bound for sure.

middlebear · Post by **middlebear** » Thu Mar 19, 2015 1:57 pm

I know we've seen some stats about how many people are accepted off the waitlist... does it happen to be ranked? Probably a newb question.

170, same complete date. Woo. Starting to think about that LOCI, if I'm not dinged.

Back about 5-6 pages Pylon came up with some really useful numbers:

2013-2014 Cycle
Total
JS1s: 247
JS2s: 162
Dings: 85
WL: 101

As of March 12th
JS1s: 155
JS2s: 122
Dings: 26
WL: 0

2014 - 2015 Cycle
As of March 12th
JS1s: 174
JS2s: 96
Dings: 35
WL: 0

Even after the big wave at the beginning of March, HLS is still way behind in terms of accepting students this year. They've probably got like 40% of their class left to admit (give or take). There are (probably) going to be a lot more acceptances before WLs.

Denied via email. It was always a long shot. Mostly glad I have one fewer status checker to check every day.

Good luck to everyone else!

Dinged just now. Not shocked - no JS1, submitted 1/5, complete 1/21.

Oskosh · Post by **Oskosh** » Thu Mar 19, 2015 2:10 pm

Ub3r, iirc you had other good options.. I really lament the ding.

peace of mind, at the very least. I expect the same for me, but there is little to substantiate that belief, so only anxiety remains.

It looks like HLS has a good number of JS2s to hand out but JS1s seem done until the waitlist, judging from those numbers. Although, last year a few JS1s trickled out about the same time as the first big wave of dings following ASW. Small solace for some of us, I suppose.

Hey, thanks for the support. I do have solid options, I think, and it was gonna be tough to convince myself of Harvard at sticker anyways. It was, like many others, a matter of having a nonzero chance of getting into Harvard that led me to apply.

Best of luck to you.

New to thread. 11/5 complete, no JS1

3.9, 168, URM, K-JD

Likely that I will be WL'ed? Would consider it a win at this point

Well...I fall into this category. Going to prevent the ding from happening by just logging out of my email now...

To those getting emails: are you getting them now, or were you in the wave of dings earlier this morning and just checked? I know it is a terrible feeling for you guys, but knowing this is informative for those of us still in the dark.

9:00 AM this morning.

"I regret to inform you that after careful consideration of your application, the Admissions Committee is unable to offer you admission to Harvard Law School. This year we received a large number of applications from an exceptionally well-qualified group of men and women, and we have to turn away many outstanding candidates.

During this admission season, over 5,000 applicants are applying for a limited number of spots in our entering class. There are many excellent law schools in the United States, and this denial of admission to Harvard Law School is not a negative estimation of your potential to study law, nor should you allow it to be a judgment of your achievements. It is only the result of having many attractive candidates for comparatively few spaces in our class.

I want to thank you for your interest in Harvard Law School. I hope that you will accept my sincerest wishes for your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

Jessica Soban"

So if we weren't dinged today (yet.....), does this simply mean we live to fight another day? Or, are we headed to the waitlist? (which I would be completely fine with.)

Early Jan submit.

there'll definitely be more dings and more acceptances before the WL, so ya i'd just interpret it as living to fight another day

By all the metrics we've got on the admissions timeline they haven't filled the class yet, so don't give up hope. I'm personally hoping that this last wave of dings means we'll be getting a wave of JS2s soon (tomorrow?)

Early Jan submit.

Looking at LSN from last year, there were three final ding waves on 3/25, 3/26, and 3/27, which included early submitters who had been passed over in previous ding waves. This was followed by the WL wave on 3/28.

I don't think anyone's safe with HLS until the decision email/JS2 comes in.

Got it, thanks for the input everyone. Looks like next week could be rough.
