Just popped in to wish you all the very best for the match.
A few suggestions I wanted to share are that try to finalize your ROL a week before the last date and try not to change the list on the last day or at the last minute. Also prepare your ROL based on where you would want to go. If you have Harvard on the list, then wouldn't it be on the top of the list
Also, if you are already having a valid visa to stay in the US (H4, J1/2, F1), then it makes your visa change easier faster and more definitive. If you are currently back to your home country, try to return to the US at least a couple of months before program starts. Many attorneys prefer that they apply for a change in visa after at least 1 month of your arrival back into the country.
Once you are done with the ROL finalization, spend time with your family, friends and loved ones - time becomes a scare commodity once residency starts.
Finally, think and remain positive and keep actively seeking opportunities to further your experience in the system (research, externship, whatever).
Best wishes once again! Cheers.
