Checking in

Also, to quote the blog (--LinkRemoved--):

Every year a significant portion of our admitted 1Ls will have received a hold notice at some point in the admissions process. In other words, being on hold is a positive, not a negative – it means you are still in the running.

There is hope.

Checking in! Thrilled to be posting in a threat about Harvard that isn't in regards to rejections!

You guys both got JS1s at least, right?

I was application --> Hold, no JS1.

No JS1 for me

Do those of you who have been held mind posting your numbers and/or what date you submitted? I am wondering if only people who submitted in September/early October ("whose files have been complete for several months") are getting held, or if November folks are getting emails as well.

At this point, I would be pretty happy to get a hold email!

I don't know whether to be happy to survive the first round of holds, or worried that this means i'm gonna be in the first round of rejections..

I haven't gotten a JS1 and likely won't, so out of the two, it's probably the latter.

171/3.8/non-URM

Submitted 9/15
Complete 10/10
Held 1/11

no JS1

Applied: 9/20
Complete: 10/10
Held: 1/11

164/3.4/Semi-URM/4 years WE/Very strong softs - PM for details

Don't think I have a chance, but getting WL last year gave me hope to reapply this year.

People are getting "hold" emails, right?

170 / 3.79 + masters / non urm / tfa

complete oct 22

got held via email

Planning on getting real comfortable in this topic. 169/4.0 complete 10/10, no JS1

Am I safe to presume that we are all happy to be here?

Checking in -- Held today. 172/3.71, No JS1, complete 11/13 (so I am a November applicant, for some of you asking). Some news is better than no news, kind of.

No idea -- does anyone know what % (if any) of Held people get admitted later?

better than a ding but could get painful. April will bring JS1s, dings and WLs.

Complete 10/25, just got held. 172/3.8.

Joining the club. Got the email just now. Applied in October. No JS1. Happy I wasn't an obvious reject
