So no more calls till the new year is the consensus?

( congratulations everyone in today )

[VapidP]

also, any splitters in yet?

Have splitters even been interviewed yet?

I'm a moderate splitter and I was in one of the very first JS1 waves.

What's a moderate splitter? I thought by definition splitters were LSAT>75% and GPA<25%.

I would consider a moderate splitter to be someone right around the 25th for GPA, rather than considerably below (think 3.8 vs 3.5).

3.5 is moderate... low 3s is full splitter... sub-3 is where we get extreme....
My goal is to have the lowest UG GPA at whichever school I attend.

So what's a 3.7?

By the way congrats to everyone accepted! Nice work

[poliksa]

Congrats to everyone accepted!!

QQ - is this the first year that not all interviews have been done by one of the admissions staff listed on the HLS Admissions website?

[Kaziende]

Also in today! Didn't get the call because my overseas number is wonky I guess. They emailed me about the phone number and then told me I had a status update. This status checker opened up to a welcome page/acceptance letter. Odd way of receiving the news, but overjoyed nonetheless!

eta: >75ths, 1st wave JS1

[cathy95]

In!!! Currently not in the States so missed the fun of getting a JS2, but super thrilled! For what it's worth, application went complete 11/1, JS1 11/23, did the interview 12/1. (GPA>75%, 50%<LSAT<75%, KJD, international studying in an American liberal arts college) Good luck to those still waiting!

Is it normal to not have received an interview yet? I went complete Nov. 7.

(If it matters, my GPA is at median, LSAT between 25th and 50th, and I am a URM)

consensus is that it's completely normal right now. things have been moving a bit slower this cycle, and the majority of people who've posted JS1s have numbers at or above the 50% for both. i think one URM applicant a few pages back were below both medians, but i think that's the exception at this point.

for what it's worth, i went complete in early october, don't have a JS1, and am not *too* concerned yet.

yet.

[fall17law]

JS1 I CAN FINALLY BREATHE!

Applied 9/15, complete 9/28, JS1 just now. GPA>75th, LSAT=75th.

Additionally it's perhaps noteworthy that I'm KJD

[Mackgal]

JS1 !!!!!!! I'm so excited and surprised, I really didn't think I would get one because I've got low numbers for Harvard, 50% GPA and below 25% LSAT, but I am a URM, with good soft factors and a Masters so maybe that's why!

[big_willy_style_333]

JS1 today, went complete 11/30.

[hellohalo]

JS1? Is that what it is? I received the interview invitation.

Never thought I would get that. LSAT right below 75%. International GPA only B (above average).

Feeling grateful. Maybe my soft helps.

Start to panic now.
