Harvard Law c/o 2020 Waitlist Forum

[CA1993]

Does anyone know what percentage of post-waitlist JS1s get in? Is it still around 75% like the pre-waitlist?

[curry1]

Can someone with access to the calendar see how many interview slots have been claimed?

all of the spots on the 10th are still open, 11/16 on the 9th are open as well

If we could also get an update on slot fillage maybe that would add color too...

still 11/16 on the first day, but only 14/16 on the second day remain.

That's interesting. If all the emails were sent 2+ hours ago, part of me wants to think the slots would be filling faster? Again, trying to force myself not to spin in a thousand directions though hah.

I think it might take a while for people to arrange their schedules to respond given that they have to interview with just a week's notice. And at least based on this thread, a significant portion of the invitees might be international and not have even seen the good news yet.

I wonder if it will be weekly waves and we'll have to wait until next Thursday or so again.

I'd have thought the same. I booked INSTANTLY.

I think there will be more tomorrow.

No stats here but I'd say so, if not higher than 75%.

I just got a call from a Boston number and my heart stopped, but apparently they had the wrong number .

I also think that the info on the calendar might be a bit delayed: after I booked my slot it still remained open for a while, despite me getting the confirmation.

So is it all over?

Spivey tweet...

And will grow? Does he have some inside info here?

For those reading the cryptic "Spivey tweet" posts. Sounds like a few more JS1 spots coming soon. Which would make sense, seems like these early ones were just a handful of (mostly international) JS1s.

Oh for sure. He especially has ties to HLS.

Today has been a wave pool of emotions.

[SpookySalem92]

If they actually did try to adjust for people's time zones that would be especially considerate of them I guess

This def makes sense--give international applicants first crack at interview times.

I'd like to agree with you all, but I think he's referring to the cascading effects down the rankings.

The fact that the next day has only 16 spots​ to begin with is frightening enough on its own!

More like a cess pool on my end! Lol

[hellsbelles1]

Anyone with a JS1b?

[SpookySalem92]

I guess another noteworthy point would be that the invites went out on a Thursday; in previous years (at least the last three) they've gone out on Friday, so perhaps a two-day cycle isn't beyond the realm of possibility. Onward, rampant speculation!

SPIVEY CALL-IN
what do you mean?

Sorry to jump in here as someone not on the Harvard waitlist but is on this thread because of what Spivey means I think this is what he is referring to-

He has described the waitlist game as a wave in general and that Harvard usually starts it and it waves through the other schools to follow. Meaning Harvard lets people off the waitlist so other lower schools lose their deposited students and admit students of the waitlist and so on and so forth. And this year in particular is supposed to be a bigger wave because of the lack of high LSATS. So the wave starting and growing probably means Harvard has pushed the first domino they are all about to fall all the way down the line not really in reference to just Harvard's pool speculation though

I've been on here waiting for you guys to get movement hoping eventually soon I'll get movement on my waitlists

[Rigo]

Ugh I refuse to accept any interpretation that doesn't conform to my conveniently optimistic narrative.
