Closing Out Your Cycle

For each school on your list, tag the final outcome: Accepted, Waitlisted, or Rejected. Two independent modifiers sit alongside the result: Hold (the school hasn't made a final decision yet) and Withdrew (you pulled your application). Withdrawn applications count toward the progress tracker even when the result itself is still pending.

If you move a school from Waitlisted to Rejected, the row automatically keeps a Was waitlisted badge. That trajectory — waitlisted and later rejected — is analytically distinct from a straight rejection, and other applicants looking at your profile can see the difference. A progress tracker at the top shows how many of your applications have been resolved.

For accepted schools, enter your three-year scholarship total (in dollars, capped at $400,000) and check the Conditional box if the award requires maintaining a GPA threshold or class rank. Scholarship data you report here feeds the per-school scholarship calculator that other applicants use to estimate their likely award.

You can also backfill the timeline on each application by expanding the Dates drawer: when you sent it, when the school received it, when it went complete, when you went under review (UR), hit UR2, had an interview, were waitlisted, and received your final decision. Cycle review deliberately does not auto-stamp the decision date — because you're reporting retroactively, today's date would be wrong — so set the real decision date yourself if you want it on the record. These dates feed the predictor's timing features, making its estimates more accurate for future applicants.

Once you've marked any acceptances, an "attending" panel appears with one radio button per accepted school plus an "undecided" option. Pick the one school you'll attend; the choice is mutually exclusive and clears any prior selection. This is the most consequential piece of data you can report: your enrollment choice, combined with your other acceptances, generates the cross-admit decisions that power the LSD ranking.

If you've accepted an offer but plan to start the following year, check the Deferred box on that row. Deferred enrollment is only meaningful for the school you marked as attending — it's a property of your matriculation choice, not a holding pattern for undecided applications.

A free-form notes field (Markdown supported) lets you write the advice you would have wanted as an applicant. The text is saved to your user profile — it is visible to other LSD.Law users when they browse your profile, and it's one of the most-read parts of completed cycles.
