Just trying to hold on to my senseless JSnone hope over here.
+1
You will hear back by April 1 if your application went complete before February 1. If it went complete after, the timeline is late April.

Yes, lots of folks in today's wave had their JS1 before the 2/22 wave.

If I had a JS1 in late-November, is WL most likely at this point?

Were there any noticeable trends with those folks? (Numbers, URM, interviewer, etc.) Or is it fairly random?

Almost all of today's JS2s were above median for LSAT, and those that weren't tended to be URM.

Above median LSAT, non-URM, wasn't part of the wave. Kill me now LOL

Went complete 2/14. JS1 Monday 3/20. Interview Tuesday 3/21.

FWIW, for those JS1 wondering how long the wait will be: my interviewer DID say decision by April 1st.

No one's quite sure. Maybe "most likely," but definitely not overwhelmingly probable.

Unlikely, simply because it doesn't make sense to have a second day wave when they can just put the calls they would have made tomorrow in the inevitable final wave next week.

Of course, it was a similar rationale that made me and Kinch08 say there wouldn't be a wave today, so who knows?

It looks like today's wave was the size of last month's...pretty sure today was the final wave.

They aren't done conducting interviews.

Yeah, I disagree. It looks like there's typically a sizable wave in March before the final wave before the April 1st decision deadline. I think there is still a wave of admits coming next week, but I'm not sure whether it will be mostly recent interviewees or more inclusive of people who interviewed at any point.

But if today was final what about all the JS1s that just happened today? Wouldn't there need to be another wave after that round of interviews.
