Had a date change as a UChicago WL this morning. ED, waitlisted in Jan, haven’t yet sent my second LOCI. Anyone else?

Cycle recap as a SuperKJD (graduating college a year early) - I'll be 20 when I matriculate in August. T4 softs, unimpressive work experience, moderately prestigious undergrad, slightly strange path through college (I'm graduating from my university having only been there for three semesters, having transferred after a year elsewhere and taking a semester off to work). Happy to be going to Berkeley in August!
I was admitted to Berk relatively late and so wasn't eligible for initial scholarship consideration, and received 90k on reconsideration after submitting my WashU offer.
Overall, I wasn't so sure what to expect from the cycle given I'm so young, and I credited a lot of the information that I'd seen in this sub and in similar places suggesting that applying to law school at this age was inadvisable. It's entirely possible that I underperformed my stats, and that I might have had somewhat better results if I had taken a year or two to work, but a T14 with $$ is a happy result and I have no regrets about the path I've taken.
If you're reading this as a college student and are considering accelerating the path to law school, I would caution you that there *will* be a KJD tax (since a number of my peers are applying as regular KJDs and almost without exception underperformed their profiles), but if you're sincere and passionate about your desire to get where you want to go as quickly as possible, it's worth it.
Go Bears!
