To confirm, this is just based on the date of a wave of decisions from last year? Or is there something else?

^thats it haha. We're grasping at anything.


Also, it might be safe to say if nothing comes today then we probably won't hear anything until next week at the earliest

It's just based on last year's cycle. Today is the first day that movement happened from those with holds.

As far as permissible evidence is concerned for law school acceptances, this is about as good as it gets. Let the tiny wAves of acceptances, wait lists, and rejections begin!

Happy April on the CLS thread :D Its gonna be gruesome.

CLS emailed me about an update this morning so we can also confirm that people are IN the office as opposed to OUT of it.

The evidence is mounting.

I keep my phone, with push notifications on, on my person at all times. The neurotic checking is for TLS and LSN. :P

I have a feeling that CC will continue with a few straight acceptances after their ASWs, when admitted folks start withdrawing. I mean, why would they leave a pile of students in limbo to run a partially full ASW? They have probably hit their class targets by now. I hope I'm wrong though, and we get a miracle wave from CLS this evening...

I mean it doesn't seem like they have filled their class.I think they are really cautiously adding people. The facebook group only has just over 100 members. Even accounting for people not being in it with around 1000+ offers. I would guess they are just having a tough time. I am not held, but I am thinking of writing a letter just to be fresh in their minds.

CLS sends out 1000+ offers?? :shock:

When did you submit? It might be time for a LOCI...

According to their ABA Report form last they had 1000+ offers. I submitted early January and was just planning on waiting but since I missed waves of holds and wait list I am trying to make myself stand out. Plus like everyone else with deposits I am trying to make an informed decision.

Just made this to pass the time. LSN provides LSAT numbers on the x-axis and GPA on the y-axis from lowest (on the bottom left) to highest (on the top right). This visualization shows data from '11-'12, '12-'13, and finally '13-'14.

I think it's really interesting to note the URM scores drifting left and also the tighter cluster of acceptances on the right for 2013-14.

I think that a lot of the statistical changes that we try to attribute to [insert meaningful variable] are actually just a result of an increase in LSN usership (not sure if that's a word, but it should be). Assuming that acceptance rates remain similar from year to year, more LSN users = more acceptances reported; more dings reported; a wider range of GPAs/LSAT scores reported; and so on.
