…a campus designed by Frank Gehry…). Sent LOCI for every waitlist within a few days, that touched on new positions/promotions and also pseudo-mini-WhyX and how I can contribute to their student body. No 10k LSAT tutor, just the extended practice tests and Khan academy (for the first test: good starting place but gets…
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!
…and then every 2-3 weeks in the summer, stay on those waitlists and keep showing your interest. You worked hard to get here. Show them you want this. Show them who you are and your dedication.
Applied with August 162, took February LSAT, and got a 166 for negotiation and waitlists.

…with this outcome so I will not be riding out the waitlists or R&R-ing. I really love my school and its state/region, and I feel such a sense of relief knowing I will not need to take on $200k+ in debt to make this happen. Good luck to the 2022-2023 cycle applicants! For the record, I think this year will be a…
I tried applying last cycle but was way too late in the game and got waitlists and rejects for the most part. Hoping for better luck this time around (and applying way earlier). Retook the LSAT (again). Score progression was: 163 –> 167 –> 171 (wish schools didn’t have to know all of them but whatever) I’m also a…
After taking the LSAT in January 2021, I applied to Minnesota on March 1st, 2021 (the only school I applied to during the 2020-21 cycle), and was waitlisted in early May. I knew it was probably because I had applied so late in the cycle, but it was still devastating and caused me to doubt my ability to get into law…
Shoot your shot! Application cycles can be unpredictable. Even if you end up at one of your top choices, it can still be a bumpy ride (looking at you, 5 waitlists). At the end of the day, I was lucky enough to get into my top two choices: Chicago and Virginia. Even with the gulf in cost of attendance, it was a…

…me. Every LSAT point counts, and several schools which waitlisted/rejected me very well could have accepted me if my LSAT were 1-3 points higher. It’s certainly somewhat absurd that it seems common for splitters to either struggle to find acceptance, or have over 50% scholarships thrown at them, with few outcomes…

Attending University of Notre Dame
Big surprise. After applying I prayed to God every night to get me into Notre Dame. Even if I got waitlisted everywhere, let Notre Dame be the school that lets me in. Have faith, God is listening. He tests us, but only to make us stronger. ND was my top choice from the start. I had two very generous offers from…

Michigan responded back within one business day and extended a deferral offer four days later. I was able to secure a legal job for the year ahead of time…
