JS1 Today! (I guess yesterday now) Complete 11/30. 174/3.82. Chances?

If you got aJS1 that in it of itself means your chances are high. About 75% of JS1s are admitted

[fl1993]

question! went complete on 11/28, but haven't heard anything about interviews. Stats 75%>GPA>50%, 50%>LSAT>25%

Is this a bad sign, or just the randomness of the process?

Don't lose faith just yet, recent submits. Complete 9/27, LSAT>75th, GPA just barely below median. I'm still here.

+1 I went complete 10/3... GPA > 75th LSAT = 50th KJD from a top 15 and still nothing either. People in previous cycles have posted about not having received interviews til February or even March. At this point the best way to look at it is that, until we've been waitlisted or dinged, we're still in the running.

I was told that they have 2 piles - one for KJD and one for work experience, and work from the latter first.

Anecdotally for me this makes sense. As I've mentioned I'm at or above both 75ths and went complete in September, but I'm super K/JD (graduating in three years) and haven't gotten a JS1 yet. Obviously, a ding would still surprise me with my numbers, so I'm trying to take it as it comes.

There was a 6.5 wave last year so it appears as if first JS2 came out day before 10th JS1 wave. On a different note, I wonder if Madam Secretary's daughter will get accepted at HLS or decide (as per her parents preference) to take a full scholarship at UVA Law

Why the .5? What's that based on?

I'll pop in to answer this one. I was the OP last year and there were a couple days when only one or two first time posters reported JS1s, so I called them half waves just in case they weren't real waves and people were just trolling us.

I too would like to know this, as I am below 25th LSAT but above 75th GPA with no JS1. Applied mid-September.

I'm pretty much certain that they don't do that pile thing. I was KJD and in the first wave of JS1s last year. Also FWIW fall17law, I was in a very similar position to you last year (above both 75ths and "super KJD" in that I was graduating in three years). I wouldn't worry at all about not having a JS1 yet. H is still super numbers-driven and your numbers are too good to pass up. I got in last year right after submitting fall grades, so I would recommend submitting your fall grades as early as possible; they may want a bigger sample size than just 4 semesters.

Only problem is I dropped down to doing one, four credit class this semester to work full-time on a political campaign, so it's not as though there's going to be much more of a sample.

All the c/o 2019 Applicant regulars making a return! Procrastinating before your last exam like I am?

[forum_user]

I went complete 10/3 too, LSAT>75, GPA=25, have work experience and haven't heard a thing

hi friend. similar stats, complete 9/29, radio silence.

To add a data point, also similar stats here, mid-October submission, also radio silence.

Anyone with a lower LSAT score (below the 25th) receive a JS1 yet?

I too would like to know this, as I am below 25th LSAT but above 75th GPA with no JS1. Applied mid-September.

You people are speaking my language. Reverse splitters unite!

guyz as can be ascertained from the last couple posts I think there's a silent majority of those not possessing JS1s. we just don't post everyday to announce our continued status because that would be errr kinda pathetic

hang in there buds

Announcing that I'm KJD above both 75ths and haven't heard anything, despite going complete in September, gets a bit redundant after a while.
