Held at Harvard: What does this mean?

[bass]

I think he's just scared his friend IRL screwed over one of my best friends. My scary reputation and all

(Well, I'm not sure if he's actually friends with him.  But they know each other.) 

The Bass is BACK!  And with news, but more on that in a moment.

I know your friend?  I wonder who...


Here's the news:  I AM IN THIS THREAD BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN HELD AT HARVARD!!!

No kidding.  I almost didn't apply to Yale because I had my heart set on Harvard.  Well...maybe not anymore.

Since the first two batches virtually no one with less than a 175 has been accepted according to LSN...

Since the first two batches virtually no one with less than a 175 has been accepted according to LSN...

But why wasn't I in an earlier batch?  I applied at the first possible instant.

[lovelovelovenyc]

i think you both will be getting in eventually.  i wouldn't make any judgments on your chances based on last year's holds.  TS has made this quite the odd process.  (but i just can't see them not admitting you guys)

If I knew precisely how the process works I'd tell you, but I can hypothesize:

-Its doubtful that TStock reads EVERY application...
-Presumably there might be four of five "initial readers" who skim applications - if they are very impressed with one, they forward it on to TStock for approval to make "the call"
-Obviously every reader is different, and some prefer LSAT, while others prefer ECs, etc
-Your reader may have been : 175+ or bust, and put you in the "look at later" pile..

Thanks lovelove

I'm not very optomistic about that...but I've sent in all the additional materials I had...and I"m just not gonna worry about it, because life is too short
