    I just got an AC invite for LL, and mine was at 66% on hold last time I checked. I know sometimes it is said that 66% means rejection, but in my experience this is not the case necessarily! I also applied a long time ago, I would say mid October from memory.

This whole application process can be tough and honestly sometimes my motivation dwindles, but we are all going through this together and I find knowing that there is someone out there that relates to the struggles is very comforting in a way.
