I don't know that this is accurate. Looking at LSN, I'd say that you were probably right. Almost all the URMs who were accepted had extremely high GPAs, and a few had LSATs in the 170-174 range to match. However, since early-March, it seems like those who have been interviewed have been less competitive on paper. I know of a couple of people who are below both 25ths who were interviewed and one who was accepted.

The usual issues about LSN not being representative of the general applicant pool are salient, but I don't think you can say that only the numerically strongest URM candidates have been accepted so far.

fair enough. how about MOSTLY?

I mean for this batch of holds. I assume there are a ton of others they haven't gotten to yet.

Wow. And I thought my late March hold was surprising. Welcome to this very large and growing club.

I never comment on TLS but this is so stressful I feel like I need to actually participate in a community of people who will understand.

I went complete 2/9/11
JS1 3/1/11
Held 3/20/11
Sent an LOCI on 4/1/11

Now I am just waiting.. and trying to not completely freak out.. I am sure you all understand.

so basically, anyone that isn't an auto reject? good to know...
does the knowledge that everyone and their brother is on hold make hls slightly less appealing to you guys?

Geneva, just to be clear, I was totally messing with moneybags

Just saying, because I did get a PM from someone asking where I got the statistics on the number of holds

Very much so. Its like everyone who applied is on hold. But hey, every day I'm not rejected is a day I'm hopeful.

Look on LSN and you'll see all of the rejections that have begun to pile up...

I think the list is somewhat screwier than "not auto-reject." I noticed a fair number of people with numbers/applications better than mine that were rejected outright, whereas I was held.
