Went complete 1/12. I did not interview but I had spoken with a dean (not in admissions) I knew through somebody and had a phone call with an administrator at one of the Law School's Centers about my interest in being a research assistant at the center back in December.

I'm well above both 75th and haven't heard anything since an early January interview (which I thought went extremely well) - in at Harvard and Chicago. There were others a few pages back also >75ths who were also still waiting.

ETA I'm curious how many people who chose "100% I know I'll be in" on the poll still haven't heard back yet. (I chose option 2)

Well, they sent out a bunch of reserve emails last week, and one reported acceptance.

Three posters reported acceptances on the Friday before last, though! (January 29th)

Not to get too negative, but is it true that they only send dings via snail mail? I have a horrible feeling that this is why there wasn't any news yesterday or so far today...

They used to. I looked on LSN and they first reported reserve last cycle was 2/13 and the first ding was reported on 2/19. This year's first reserve was 2/5 so I'm thinking we are in dangerous waters.......

I agree! I've been sitting in cold silence since September :/ It does seem like CLS has incorporated email into their decision making process much more this year.
