So I'm 99.9% sure that I'm going to be rejected, but apparently I'm masochistic enough to be anxious about it. Any guesses about when the next acceptance, waitlist, and rejection waves will be?

A) The bolded is exactly how I feel.
B) I'm expecting a ding wave today or tomorrow.

I'm expecting dings today or tomorrow as well - slight preference to tomorrow, given that last year there was a wave on April 1. For me, I just want the cycle to be done so I can start making arrangements in earnest. I don't know what I'll do if I get a waitlist (which should come around April 15th), especially since I'm already making plans to live with a friend at another school.

Fair point on the typical weekend movement. I guess we'll just have to keep our eyes on the twitter page.

Acceptances on weekend for sure. Denials and waitlists, who knows!

If this is anything like last year, we should start seeing action around 1:00pm ET.

Last year this day was good friday, so I'd imagine more news would be either tonight (as they seem to avoid weekday, daytime communications, probably because enough of us are at work) or else this weekend.

Still all quiet? And are we thinking tomorrow for more acceptances, given the tweet and the pattern of Saturday calls this month?

Nope, they're admitting tonight!

Any idea what submit dates will get calls?

[hopeful94]

Come on Yale. I was still getting emotionally prepared for tomorrow. Why'd you have to start tonight?

[Olliedemars]

This time tomorrow? Same time, same place? I'll bring the taco dip.

I didn't see any movement on LSN or in the spreadsheet, so I don't know. I'd imagine they're weeding out the last of those sent to FR around the deadline. My hope is they start dipping into those of us who submitted long ago (Oct.) soon.

When do we think they're going to start today's/tonight's wave?

[clovis]

When do we think they're going to start today's/tonight's wave?

The only thing that's certain is that you won't see the tweet until about 3 hours after they've started making calls. Ditto with when they stop. My guess is late afternoon/evening for calls but who knows.

I've never understood this. There's a discrepancy between the time stamp and when the Twitter account shows the post, but I thought TLSers have been getting calls in the post-Twitter feed window?

Right. I find it hard to believe that *every* TLSer who has been accepted has waited at least 3 hours to post the news (which would have to be the case if the YLS Twitter is off by 3 hours, as we've never seen a report of an acceptance outside the Twitter window).

Additionally, I usually spot the Tweet around 12:30 Central. If that tweet is 3 hours late, they're actually starting at 9:30 Central, which is 7:30 West Coast time. I don't see them calling up folks before 8 on a Saturday, even with great news.

I'm curious about the degree to which technical issues at Twitter inform our collective anxiety.

Do you really think they were calling folks until 11:30 pm last Saturday night? That's when the tweet appeared. Or what about the time a closing tweet went out halfway through the Oscars.

Does the lack of a ding wave mean than people expect one this weekend or will we have to wait until later in the month?

I need to be dinged already, it's driving me crazy.
