BCL applicant. Just received an email saying that a certificate of offer will be sent through.

Button disappeared late Thursday afternoon.

Good luck to everyone!

So Button disappearance occurred through Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, to Friday. What does this mean? 

Nobody knows! Just have to wait and see. Solidarity to everyone stressing out today - I will be spending the next few hours in the pub and away from the laptop.

I think going to the pub is the wisest idea and that everybody should follow your example!

Got onto the BCL 3 mins ago!!!

received a bcl offer! :)

I just got accepted on the BCL. I am speechless!!!

Do we think all offers were sent at once then?

Hey just received my BCL offer. Thanks for all the support in the group and good luck to everyone waiting!

Just received my MJur offer. Thank you for keeping me up to date here all the time. Best of luck to everybody. Everybody who applied has exceptional qualities. My button disappeared a few hours ago, so I really don’t think it is of great relevance :) ! 

we are so so proud of you! Congratulations. What time exactly did you receive it?

Based on the MLF posts this year, it is clear that the button theory is holding true. Even though all had the button disappear on the same day, the time at which the button disappeared appears to be indicative.

(a) Among the 3 accepted, 2 lost their buttons at around 11am the day before offer day. The third did not state what time the button went away but posted relatively early.

(b) Among the 3 rejected, 2 lost their buttons at around 5pm the day before offer day. The third did not state what time the button went away but posted relatively late.

(c) The only person who ended up waitlisted reported that they still had a button as of 12pm the day before offer day.

(d) 2 people said that their button disappeared at an unspecified time on the day before offer day, and did not subsequently provide an update on their acceptance. Both of these were posted late in the day before offer day.

This strongly supports the rumor that buttons disappear first for offers and then for rejections, and they don't disappear for waitlists.

Obviously, this is a small sample size, but is remarkably consistent.

My button disappeared this morning at about 9.30. According to your theory, will I get an offer?

Do we think all offers were sent at once then?

Here is a new WhatsApp group link. I think that we can discuss information about applications and offers in this group.

Congrats everyone!! 

im hoping it’s the case they’re working backwards from the list in sending offers - gonna keep hope until I see a rejection email.
