…fared well enough, in some cases receiving acceptances and waitlists before people who applied in October! That being said, I know my chances at T-14 schools would have been much better had I applied earlier. I advise against applying early decision - don’t give up your chance to be wooed by admissions officers with…
Wrote optional essays for Michigan, Penn, and Stanford (ironically, the schools I didn’t get into lol). I did not write any LOCIs and was rejected from all my waitlists. PS was on my personal growth through taking on a hobby-related challenge. I brought in my legal work experience at the end, but probably could have…
…even worth it now. Still holding out on U of AZ for on the waitlist just because it is my dream school. I may apply one more time next cycle.
Applied mid december, waitlisted by Brooklyn, accepted to CUNY, plan to attend
UPDATES Two full ride offers!! Temple and American University really came through- Priority waitlist at Fordham, regular WL at GUCL and GWU Hold from NYU since February Withdrew from BC and BU after WL decision (decided against school in Boston) Withdrew from UMD and Temple based on employment outcomes and location…
…for the UCI Law PSS. Fairly disappointed that I was waitlisted as I am still VERY interested even though they are a “safety” school. Would 100% attend if admitted for personal reasons, (esp. on the additional PSS), ZOT ZOT ZOT! Pepp Notes | Safety school that I did not submit optional essays for. Would consider…
Applied to same schools (minus Stanford) in Jan 2020 with 168, got into Georgetown, rejected from Harvard and Yale, waitlisted at the rest. Reapplying this year in October with 174, a new rec, and a revised statement to see what happens. white, female, decent but not exceptional softs
Reverse Splitter that ended up with a good number of waitlists. All in all, my cycle went well, and I got scholarship money at every single school that accepted me. One thing to note, if you’re LSAT is on the lower end like mine, EVERYTHING matters. Your Personal statement, your recommendations, your why x essay,…
I’m the waitlist bitch sunglasses emoji Also don’t worry GW was yield protect.
…USan Diego ($67,500), American (WL, Accepted, $0) Waitlists: Loyola (Los Angeles) Rejections: Berkeley, USouthern California, UCalifornia (Hastings)
…you. When i see people who had better grades than me get waitlisted, I think it’s probably because my statement was more compelling than theirs. start sketching out your statement even as early as when you are prepping for LSAT. like the LSAT, it is a puzzle that you need to approach strategically. it should be as…
…so I felt adding a why X again was unnecessary. I was waitlisted at Penn, CLS, and GULC in the 20-21 cycle, & rejected at NYU. CLS: new PS, new DS, slightly updated resume, nothing spectacular to add.- UChi: wrote Why UChi. I think this fit really well with the school in terms of their whole focus, idk I think an…
…employment can’t be made up with likely scholarship $. **Waitlists: ** **Northwestern **I withdrew. The cost would be too much and having to turn down an offer would hurt my soul. Pretty sure the WL was only because I applied ED with borderline R stats. **USC **Withdrew mid-may. They sent an email saying it was…
Sucks being waitlisted from most of the schools. With every cycle getting more competitive and not being a URM, you definitely need a high LSAT score it seems. At minimum a 170, for you future applicants out there. I’m also a KJD and an early one at that (graduated in less than 3 years), think maybe more working…
Believe in yourself, sell yourself and be exactly who you really are in your essays! Got on a few waitlists, but never actually tried to get off any. Fell in love with UMN pretty early and the scholarship made the decision easy! Took the LSAT 5x - don’t give up!
…so I cut out a lot of unnecessary fluff. If you get waitlisted at your top schools, your work is just beginning. Write letters of continuing interest and do what you can to boost your application. Then write more letters to brag about whatever you’re working on. Tell your top school that they’re your top and, if…
…RD app sent 11/16/21 - RD app complete 3/10/22 - Waitlisted 6/7/22 - Rejected No interview. I’m going with Lewis and Clark and am stoked :)))))))))))))
