I just want it to be clear, those who did a pre-WL JS1 do not need to conduct another interview, correct?

Checking in for the WL crew, JSNone. Thrilled with this outcome, I expected a ding!

I know this is dumb and I am thinking way too far in the future, but I will be out of the country for two weeks in late June/early July for my honeymoon. Should I eventually tell them this information? I haven't had a JS1 yet.

Would HLS consider a June retake for getting off the WL? My uGPA is the problem with my app, LSAT = median. But maybe a couple more points would provide a boost?

there will be a JS1b for those who have done JS1. it's not an interview but a quick phone call for confirmation.

Me! Surprised - was WL last year and am currently JSnone so assumed they were just throwing me back on that same pile. Somewhat confused but pleased?

they told me last year they would consider june lsat scores for WL if they havent already made a decision about you when your score comes out. would NOT recommend asking them to hold a decision for your score tho...not that you would, just putting it out there

Oooh. Is there a place where I can get more info about the jsb? I just read the entire c/o 2019 waiters thread and they were light on details.

Is this a second shot to impress the ad comm or is it literally them wanting to hear your voice and hanging up?

Do all pre-WL js1 waitlisted folk get a jsb, or is a jsb a sign of continued interest by the ad comm?

If js1b, then it's only to check that one's still interested before js2.

In the same position. JSNone. I have not been Rejected nor Waitlisted. I applied in September.

Tomorrow is my Alamo!

I shouldn't even be here with my numbers, and I'm gonna be happy to ride this until the day before finals week of the first semester. LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D
you can get off a waitlist right before finals start ?
