Just got waitlisted. From the looks of it, only one person on lsd last year got an acceptance from the WL. Oh boy.
10:16
@8888887777776t6t: keep in mind those decisions happen after everyone’s cycle has wrapped up! If I got in off a WL in July, I probably wouldn’t think to come back here and update my profile. For that reason I don’t think LSD is indicative of waitlist movement

we have hope or no?
@Bichaelscott4: same
Duke just moved to the top of my lawhub, applied literally near the deadline (mid-Feb). Any insight as to when I'll hear back after the first jump?

@theonewhohonk mine jumped too and I applied at the same time but we should all keep in mind they didn’t accept anyone who applied after December last year lol

I wonder if there’s any rhyme or reason to why someone’s jumped yesterday and others today. Like is it UR2, has it jumped for you before?

@Ijustwannagetinman: that's so fucked. i couldnt' get my professional letter of rec for a while which is why i had to apply late (i sent the rest of my apps in Nov)

16:07
Anyone else still have no decision after it jumped ~2 weeks ago?
16:11
I'm in that boat. Looks like a large WL/R wave today for people who applied after me, and I'm still not seeing As for people who applied around my time in December. Holding out hope because of this but not expecting much!
TheFriendlyLorax
16:35
Does anyone know if there is another E wave happening rn or if people are just inputting their decisions from this morning?

Nvm it’s probably the latter
did duke actually get to feb applicants yet?
