Does JSHmmm = JS1.5?

(for a second I thought it said JS Ham and was like, yeah, providing us with snacks really is the least they could do.)

JSHmmm = JSjk = JSW.

Oh no no, JShmmm = JS1.5.

Just think about it. JS interviews you. She looks at your file, your LSAT, your recommendation from Larry Summers. She thinks. She goes Hmmm.…offer? ding? waitlist?


wait haha is your rec really from larry summers?

Nep... you're down with Law School Larry? Awesome.
Soooooooo... is there still hope for today?

I'm really wondering whether a rec from Larry Summers would help or hurt. Maybe he fell asleep halfway through writing it, as if he were in an important meeting of economic advisors. Or maybe he wrote something like, "She's an excellent student, even if she is a woman." I would be afraid.

From what I remember from stalking Harvard's thread a long time ago, was that Harvard sent out valentines acceptances last year... Not sure if my memory is accurate

LOL, no, I don't have a recommendation from Lar-Bear. I was just providing a hypo to set up for my cumbergif.

That being said, the usefulness of such a letter will obviously depend on the length and quality of interaction between the recommender and the applicant.

If there are no JS1s, are there no JS2s? Or is that just a usually on JS2 dates, there are JS1s kinda thing?

JS makes calls and sends emails according to the following conditions:
If there are JS2s, then there are JS1s.
If JS wears her mauve shirt, then JS1s occur on Friday.
If JS2s occur on Thursday, then JS1s do not occur on Monday.
JS1s occur on Mondays or Fridays, but not both.
JS2s occur on Wednesdays.

So yeah, we all go this.

thanks for making my day!

Someone please post a JS2...

I cant wait till everything is finalized and theres no more waiting (atleast until law school starts)

[drawstring]

And preferably a JS2 for one of us long stuck in limbo

I haven't been in limbo as long, but this purgatory of being above the ding threshold but below the sure-thing-JS2 threshold feels endless nonetheless.

Are we thinking Th/Fr might bring some good news? Or more dings maybe

[lawschool22]

Always about you, draw.

Generally speaking, what percentage of applicants who are invited to interview (JS1) are eventually admitted (JS2)?

[drawstring]

I'd honestly love to see any of us long waiters get in

[drawstring]

Generally speaking, what percentage of applicants who are invited to interview (JS1) are eventually admitted (JS2)?

I think about 70 or so

[lawschool22]

Generally speaking, what percentage of applicants who are invited to interview (JS1) are eventually admitted (JS2)?

850/1200 give or take.

Also, for those of you super frustrated with waiting, maybe Spivey's most recent post will cheer you up a bit:

Nope, made me more depressed lol. Summer?!?

[drawstring]

Well there's that

But it makes me feel a tiny bit better about actually getting in. I'd rather get into a school at some point this cycle (well, maybe not like September) than not at all.

Yep, they did. A friend of mine got it
