as a note to this group: it seems that A's yesterday were in the beginning of the alphabet, report their date disappearing, their paragraph remaining the same, and lawhub not moving. not sure if there are outliers to this but that's what i've gathered from reddit and friends and lsd

anyone hear anything today?
i haven't. my date disappeared on friday as well.
does anyone know what it means if interview was submitted but substatus still says interview requested after many days?
I recently was admitted, and my status stayed on interview requested up until my A call. I did the interview last Tuesday for reference. I don't think it's a sign positive or negative, but make sure you got the submission email from Kira.
