A quick definition of class lottery:

A class lottery is a way of raising money by selling tickets and giving prizes to the people who hold tickets with winning numbers that are drawn at random. In a Dutch lottery, tickets are drawn from different classes, and the number and value of prizes increase with each class. This type of lottery originated in Holland in the 16th century. Another type of lottery is the Genoese lottery, where players choose numbers and wager that one or more of their chosen numbers will be drawn from a set of 90 consecutive numbers. This type of lottery originated in Genoa in about 1530.

A more thorough explanation:

A class lottery is a type of lottery where tickets are drawn from different classes, and the number and value of prizes increase with each class. This type of lottery originated in Holland in the 16th century.

For example, in a class lottery, there may be different classes of tickets, such as A, B, and C. The prizes for class A may be smaller than the prizes for class B, and the prizes for class B may be smaller than the prizes for class C. The winners are chosen at random from each class.

Another example of a lottery is the Genoese lottery, which originated in Genoa in about 1530. In this type of lottery, out of 90 consecutive numbers, five are drawn by lot, and players wager that one or more of the numbers they have chosen will be drawn.

Lotteries are a method of raising revenues, especially for state governments, by selling tickets and giving prizes to those who hold winning tickets. Lotteries are also known as lotto.

Hey if I am on a bunch of waitlists am I screwed ?

@AlejandroAI405: Not for certain. You can get off the wait list, however it can be difficult. Would you consider reapplying next year or/and retaking the LSAT? You may drastically increase your choices/outcome(s)/and possibly get a scholarship

I genuinely do think being a reapplicant has some influence on a school’s perception of you, like we didn’t want this person before so why would we want them now? If you apply to only a couple schools your first cycle and then reapply with a higher LSAT and apply more broadly you will prob have good odds at the schools you didn’t apply to before

LMFAO why wait a year to go form UGA to chicago? You make the same biglaw salary lmfao you can get the same elite pi if you finish high, which you should if you are capable of getting chicago with a r and r. This means you advocate them not earning what they could over 4 years - 90k and study then 3 years of law or 3 years of law and then 260k salary? lmfao r and r only makes sense for FC

If someone applied with a 155 and can get a 170, a lot diff than a 168 hoping for a 172 and wasting a whole year for that

Scholarship dollars? Tuition + 90k income is the same or slightly less than the big law salary, but without a year of career progression.

It is not a smart move to r and r, long story short, despite what people who want you to pay for essay review and lsat tutor and lsat tutor service say

The other point I would make is that with medians rising your 3.92 GPA might be above median at your dream school one year and below the next

Both of you make valid points, but if you do not get off the W/L your only options are to R&R or just not pursue. So yea if it makes sense and you can go this year, it may be better than R&R in hopes of better prospects next yr. the devil you know is better than the angel you don't where devil is this cycle and angel is next cycel

i don't think reapplying is going to hurt you from a previously WL/denied school

badhorrormovie

13:35

just make sure you're coming with new things on your resume. maybe a higher lsat or some work experience. a school may not of wanted you this cycle, but if you come back with stronger stats, you're gonna be what they might be looking for.

overall, i'd say work on boosting your lsat though!!
