Did any KJDs get accepted today?
LSAT>>75th GPA>50th, so I was kind of surprised to be waitlisted...

I guess I was overconfident...

I'm pretty sure an interview is required for admission

So honest q. Is Harvard's interview the same as UChicago in terms of its importance. I've heard that an early JS1 is a good sign that you'll get in (statistically) and Idk about UChicago. I know both are required. Sorry for being neuoritic

For posterity: at/above both 75ths. KJD, waitlisted.

KJD, LSAT = 50th, 50th < GPA < 75th, accepted today. So sorry to everyone who was waitlisted/rejected

Edit: Surprised by some waitlists-- maybe yield protection? Very surprising considering the awesome stats we are seeing in waitlists

That is brutal. So sorry to hear that. Best of luck the rest of the way! Keep your head up. You’ll get killer options still!

I'm not sure for UChicago, though I will say that the HLS interview was wonderful and my interviewer was very pleasant/friendly/conversational and seemed to really be trying to get to know me / see how my goals and personality fit within HLS. My Chicago interviewer seemed to be reading off a list of questions and gave no response whatsoever minus some head nodding while typing. If she were *trying* to look like a robot rattling off questions, she succeeded! She also gave no indication that she read my file beyond my resume, so I have a feeling you just have to pass a certain stats/resume threshold to get interviewed.

Waitlisted today. No surprise, between both 25 and 50s. Good luck everyone still waiting!

I still didn't get an email, but checked the status checker and it says admitted! Wondering what's up, but super excited

They send it to permanent emails, so it is a different email than the rest of the schools have for me... maybe that helps?

Thanks:( I think this is a sign I need to take a year

Congrats to those admitted!

Did anybody who didn't interview hear back/get waitlisted today? Or was this wave for only those who had their interviews already?

On a side note, really shocked to see people with great stats getting waitlisted today.. is it mostly KJDs or something completely random at play..?

+1 Felt exactly the same way about my Chicago interview vs. my HLS interview.
