ABBAisCool's wisdom

the year of the waitlist I guess, lol. More than 50% of schools I applied to I was waitlisted at so that’s fun. Here’s some more info on my cycle:

completed all optional essays - submitted unsolicited “Why X” essays to Cardozo, UW, and CU Boulder

  • completed kira interview for Northwestern and interviewed with admissions for Lewis & Clark

I was surprised both by schools I was waitlisted at that were reaches for me (Penn, UCLA, Georgetown, BU) as well as surprised by schools that I had considered more on the lower target/safety end (Northeastern, Oregon, American)

Unfortunately will probably look to retake the lsat and apply next year.

Really not feeling like I have sage advice, but wishing everyone good luck!
