Checking in, JSnone. Anyone have any insight as to why they say we do not recommend submitting additional LORS and why/how strict they are about it? Was planning to submit one but saw that

Did you guys get an email to check your status checker? I checked it but never got an email which I thought was weird.

I've seen the figure 20-25-% get thrown around.

JSnone, Snowy White, below the 25% both, great softs apparently. I am surrounded by red on LSN graph. How do I translate this into admission, that is the question, to modify Shakespeare.

I think it varies heavily by year. Just looking at LSN, last year there were 91 WL'd (who didn't withdraw), and only 4 reported being eventually accepted. The year before it was 17/115.

Obviously, super incomplete data there, but it shows a pretty big variance.

Are there different chances of getting off WL for JS1s comparatively to JS0s heading into the WL?

Hey guys! JS1 in early 2017.

Wondering (a) why I still haven't gotten an email from them and (b) what it means to get WL with a JS1 vs none

I haven't gotten an email either but if you go back into status checker there is a confirmation that you said Yes to the waitlist.

15-25% according to LSN/TLS.

Will dig up the summary I saw in another thread.

It was only ~4% last year (on LSN).

Isn't there a likelihood, especially when it comes to waitlisted applicants, that LSN users neglect to update when they withdraw/are accepted?

On a related note, there's two LSN users with my numbers this cycle that have so many pending applications and such a low acceptance rate (in contrast to similar users) that I suspect they just stopped using the site
