Specifically, I count 28 availabilities. The night before the second batch of JS1s went out, I counted 27 remaining timeslots for this week. In addition, I think Jessica and Karen can perform interviews simultaneously because the time for which I rescheduled on Tuesday still shows up as available, but only for one of the two "HLS Interviewer"s. At other times, when you toggle between the two, you see they both have available slots at the same time.

Not to make anyone anxious, but I think it's very likely that we could see another batch of JS1 invites go out before the end of the week.

I doubt this. I feel like the school wants you all to have as much information as possible. Additionally, the interview isn't meant to be a stressful situation. They just want to 1). learn more about you 2). see why you're interested in the school 3). sift out those who just want Harvard for H-Bomb dropping.
Yeah I think people are just curious about how she plans on filling the extra 10 minutes. I certainly am, although will know soon enough

haha, yea, thanks bernaldiaz for clearing up what i wrote. definitely a poor attempt at humor out of curiosity than paranoia. Good luck to you and all thursday JS1s!

Thanks! There were quite a few interview slots when I signed up...I think more TLSers will be hearing soon.

Boy I hope you are right...missing out on all these JS1s is killing me!

Congrats new JS1s! I just had mine this morning. Interestingly I was not asked "Why Harvard" or "Why Law". I was just asked questions about my personal statement and resume. Then I was asked if I had any questions for the interviewer and I asked some.

You know, she never actually introduced herself so I had no idea at the time, but yep, it was.

JS1

and so nervous! Glad to hear the interviews have been pleasant so far!

JS1 invite! Scheduled for next Tuesday. My app went complete on 10/10, so I was getting a bit anxious after missing the first round of invites. Best of luck to everyone!

My biggest fear is that TLS represents a negligible amount of applicants and hundreds of JS1s have actually gone out.

And congrats to the newest JS1s!

How long was the interview?

Agree, TLS representation is skewed toward the right of the curve, but that's also where Harvard lives. The real number is undoubtedly higher than we can see from here, but probably less variance than you theorize.

A comforting thought, if you buy it. Or, I'm just reassuring myself.
