Interviewed last week, not received a decision yet. When do you think we'll hear back? Any chance of this year...

Just interviewed. Wasn't brave enough to ask about a decision date. Any predictions from sage metrics people based on previous years?

I think RD has historically heard back in late January according to mylsn.

I had an interview on Friday, and I was told to expect a decision around mid to late January.

I'm assuming you didn't apply ED?

Interview request! Do we know if interviews actually mean anything since people have gotten in without them?

If I remember last cycle right, they tend to interview borderline and scholly candidates

Given your stats they're probably scoping you out for a Hamilton

As amazing as that would be, I think my lack of WE may have already knocked me out of that game. I have solid softs but nothing incredible.

What kind of LSAT score might be considered a candidate for Hamilton?

I looked through past threads about it and it seems that all but one had 176+, but that didn't guarantee you one. Softs and WE seemed important (at least the recipients I saw had them).

Got an interview as well. Don't know if it's for borderline or scholly though.

Just got an interview request. Why is it conventional wisdom that it means borderline or scholly candidates?

I'll chime in and say conventional wisdom could very well be wrong. I got an interview request as well and I'm right at 75th GPA and just below 75th LSAT. I think that puts me above "borderline" but not in consideration for a significant scholarship. Not sure if you're in a similar situation, but thought you might be.

Agreed, I am around 50% for both GPA and LSAT so I don't think that necessary puts me in either the scholly or borderline camp.
