I think if you are below 1 median, especially the LSAT median, without significant work experiences, we are probably stuck in silence until end of March/the processing of the Feb scores.

I went complete 10/15 and still haven't heard a word. 3.8x and 172. Anyone else in a similar position?

Not quite as bad as you but there are several of us who had JS1s a long time ago and are still waiting. Since there have been several waves of acceptances and waves of rejections, I figure this means they're still thinking about us. We're in the ballpark but they aren't sure about putting us in the batting order yet.

There definitely have been people who had long delays before getting JS1s, though. If they haven't rejected you, I wouldn't give up hope

+1 although your GPA might be a bit higher than mine.

This is what I'm thinking.

I like the theory - except that it doesn't explain my tortuous wait At least no ding yet?!

[hwannabe1234]

No movement today?
Silence is torturing me

I'm expecting a slower second half of February, with activity picking up in early March again. If you're still in the hunt (like me) I would recommend just sitting tight for a little bit.

So you're saying I might be able to stop hovering over this thread and actually get some work done?

Well I'll say this, I definitely got more work done today than I have in the past several weeks. Way less time was spent on TLS for me today. I really don't expect much. There may be a trickle of activity, but I think we've seen the last of the "waves" until March.

Grain of salt as always.

This thread is missing its former optimism...

"¿Tomorrow?"

But each day it does get a little easier to not check incessantly

"¿Today?"

Perhaps a flurry of JS2s will accompany today's snowfall.

Please... God!

What's the general time frame between completion and JS1s? I know some people have gone a crazy long time (2+ months). Has anyone heard within a week or two?

I think the spreadsheet on page one will have what you're looking for.

There's been huge variation. I heard after three days, some people not for two months. Some of those two-month people received JS2s a week or two later; I've been waiting for nearly three months.

There's really no guessing. Best luck doee

[LawSchoolOrNah]

Took a month for me to go complete, but got my JS1 request the very next day.

I think the spreadsheet on page one will have what you're looking for.

I added a histogram to the spreadsheet (hope that's okay LS22) illustrating the time between complete and JS1 request. Would simply post the histogram here but have not figured out how to insert pictures. About 95% of the JS1 requests (in this data set) arrive within 39 days. About 80% arrive within 25 days.

Awesome job, can you do that for the time between js1 and js 2 as well???

[lawschool2014hopeful]

I think is meaningless to compare raw average of complete to JS1 and JS1 to JS2.

You need to break it down by median

Below LSAT median wait average:
Below GPA median wait average:
Below both:
Above:

Are you volunteering to do this?

Average days between complete and JS1 request for applicants with:

• At/Above median LSAT = 9.5
  Below median LSAT = 9.3
  At/Above median GPA = 8.1
  Below median GPA = 10.3

As you can see, the differences are not significant.

can you do that for js1 and js2 too?

Sometimes the nerdiness in this thread is staggering.



And I love every second of it

Yep that's fine - nice work. I hid your data tab so people don't screw with it.

Edit: NVM - I see you're still working in it. I would just recommend locking it and hiding it when you're finished.
