Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you

yeah they asked me something similar and I told them I hesitated and I'd def accept an offer if they extended it 😅
13:49
If I didn't get a feeler yet (5/9 interview), does that basically mean R?
that's a much better answer than what i said
i rambled about finances and loans for a bit ugh. tried to bring it back at the end by saying it would be an investment in my future, but i can imagine it didn't come across great
13:51
I don't think it'd hurt to reach out and reiterate your interest if you
13:51
if you're certain you'd go*
13:52
@Aranet123: not necessarily! we don't have the info to make assumptions about anything really
Has anybody received a feeler today? Trying to decide how invested I still should be at this point lol
I said 100% and that I don’t even need 24 hrs to accept.
no feeler yet?
it sounds like it would be redundant for you lol
it would be for me as well
At the very beginning I made it clear. Then when she was even asking me other questions about if I’d attend hls she said the questions are redundant. I said it would take something major and at the end of the interview I reiterated that nothing would stop me from attending hls.
i couldnt have been clearer
it's a black box
Any more calls td or na
Just bc this is law school DATA... 21 people on LSD recorded interview invites from 5/3 to 5/7 and 7 have logged acceptances so far
17:55
it's probably too early to tell
17:55
but i wonder if they are being more selective off the waitlist this year
1:56
Is it likely that Harvard's extended ranking drop is the reason why the WL II list is so big this year?
Are they calling today or na
I hope so but not too optimistic
I think there will be more next week, and they may not follow the order of the interviews
That's my thought too
Would make sense if they want to evaluate those offered interviewed last week with those interviewing this week
True. Im guessing they categorize the people they interview into tiers
Also a slight possibility they call on Friday too
I interviewed on 5/9 and haven't received an A, and I really thought my interview went well. I just want to know when I should stop losing hope. I made it SO clear in my interview that i would attend without hesitation. I literally told them I would be more than willing to forfeit my current seat deposit to attend.

Looking at previous years, it seems the last big waitlist acceptance wave was on 5/24, so maybe wait until then
really hope i make the next wave
