Re: Harvard Law c/o 2021 Applicants (2017-2018)
If you have interviewed already and aren't part of the first wave of JS2 can you safely assume that you are being WL/R? Or is there a better possibility that you may receive a JS2 later on?

Nah, from what I've read that decisions come for the first few rounds of JS1s through January.jkander31 wrote:If you have interviewed already and aren't part of the first wave of JS2 can you safely assume that you are being WL/R? Or is there a better possibility that you may receive a JS2 later on?

lol bc it sucks when you have your hopes up and then they get crushed!!! better to feel at least slightly realistic about it.nixbaby wrote:why u gotta be raining on the dreamsMonicaYoung_LOL wrote:Doubtful. 12/18 is more likely the day.joooookchang wrote:So..... JS2 tmrw?
But also, +1 on the whole "nervous I won't be in the first JS2 wave." I was in the second JS1 wave, so I'm hoping to hear back but I'll def be on edge the entire time if I don't

i'm with you. i know i'll be a ball of anxiety if i'm not in the first wave of js2s even though i definitely would not be surprised as my hls interview did not go nearly as well as any of my othersMonicaYoung_LOL wrote:lol bc it sucks when you have your hopes up and then they get crushed!!! better to feel at least slightly realistic about it.nixbaby wrote:why u gotta be raining on the dreamsMonicaYoung_LOL wrote:Doubtful. 12/18 is more likely the day.joooookchang wrote:So.....

pls be truePlatopus wrote:+1 Totally possible to be in the first wave of JS1's and the last wave of JS2's. In light of the most recent LSAT data, I suspect Harvard is going to release a very small batch of JS2's before the holidays. I'm guessing that these will be the 175+ 3.8+ candidates who already had JS1's. Splitters and people around median are probably going to have to wait a little longer.throwaway1919 wrote:Nah, from what I've read that decisions come for the first few rounds of JS1s through January.jkander31 wrote:If you have interviewed already and aren't part of the first wave of JS2 can you safely assume that you are being WL/R?

I think that if your softs are good enough, you might have a good chance to get in the first wave even if you're a splitter. but that just might be wishful thinking lol.

Re: Harvard Law c/o 2021 Applicants (2017-2018)
Maybe they're taking that one week break to discuss LSAT/GRE? This seems to be the only big difference from previous years when no such break was observed. Unfortunately, this would suggest JS2 on the 18th .

Re: Harvard Law c/o 2021 Applicants (2017-2018)
you'd think they would have already discussed the GRE when they decided to take it and throughout the process. unsure what would come from such a long discussion in the middle of cyclePlatopus wrote:Good point.

I know everyone’s waiting for JS2, but I was wondering...does anyone know how many applicants are invited for interviews each cycle??

+1 million. And no one needs it more than the Harvard applicants, who I swear are losing their damn minds. (No JS1 here yet. And yet life goes on.)Bojack93 wrote:A variation of this needs to be featured on a banner at the top of every thread in this forum.etramak wrote: It would be safe to assume you were rejected if you receive an email saying that you have been rejected from Harvard Law School.

Re: Harvard Law c/o 2021 Applicants (2017-2018)
I read on the admissions blog that everyone has to go through a faculty review post-JS1 to be admitted, so my thinking is that could be the random variable timing-wise. Like some professors might just take longer than others so even if you're in the first JS1 you might get your decision later. I feel like it's probably hard for the admissions people to pressure the faculty to get files done quickly. Curious about people's thoughts since I haven't seen much discussion about this aspect of the process.

I've also heard that just because you had a JS1 before the first JS2 but arent admitted in the first wave it doesn't mean you were necessarily passed over. Your file may just be sitting on a desk somewhere.sailcar wrote:I read on the admissions blog that everyone has to go through a faculty review post-JS1 to be admitted, so my thinking is that could be the random variable timing-wise.

Looking at past years data, the pre-Christmas waves do tend to be over both 75ths, but there are plenty of people that are above both 75ths that went complete rather early that are not admitted until January.
