Next adventure being....invitation to take the online test. Last time around it was two months exactly from the date the announcement closed. So with the extension, I make it November 5th we get the invitation to that dance, and the online itself will be about 12-22 days after that which would make online about November 17-27th, with invites to DC/Alexandria being two months after the invite to the online, so perhaps January 5th 2018 are the invitations to DC. Now the question is is the 2017 cohort the same size as 2016 or less, and if significantly less will these times shift. Thanks to JudgeKnott for the timeframe for 2016. aljdiscussion.proboards.com/thread/4526/unofficial-2017-application-timeline-thread?page=1

I guess there is no way to get a handle on how many applied, huh? Or did I miss a poll?

Since not everyone is on the board - and/or lurkers - especially because of those who do know about the board but are lurking - a poll won't be all that helpful. We knew last time as a result of either congressional testimony or info in a news letter - I don't recall which it was... but that is the only reason we knew the number was high. So hopefully there will be information with that data posted somewhere soon as I am also curious.

There is a poll (August 2017 JOA), but as phoenixrisingALJ said, it almost certainly captures only a very small percentage of applicants. The poll was more to see who was abandoning an appeal or applying after receiving a score earlier.

I reapplied and also got the appeal terminated email
seems the more efficient ( I know I know) way could have been process the appeal and terminate the application if the appeal was favorable

The most efficient way for them is to terminate the appeal upon receipt of the new application. That cuts way down on the number of appeals they have to process.
