…at all. I was above/at both 75ths at Fordham and still was waitlisted. Retaking & Reapplying. If I learned anything is that only take the January exam if you are confident you will get a much higher score. Even then, please, just apply early instead. There’s alot of anxiety when it comes to taking the January exam.…
First gen white. Huge gpa upward trend. I withdrew from waitlists just after the first deposit deadline. This cycle might not be indicative of a “regular” cycle. Go Irish =)
…and then compare you to them. Holds are better than being Waitlisted. IF YOU ARE A VETERAN go to this link. If you are using your GI Bill within 3 years of getting out of the military, you are entitled to In State Tuition at ANY Public College.…
I guess just apply early, lol. I got into comparable schools like GW and Fordham but was waitlisted by BU and BC (at least partially) because I decided to apply too late.
…test scores. NYU - got HTE, sent in a LOCI, was waitlisted. I submitted a LOCI each month and completed the interview. I received a feeler email on 7/28, I responded to it and then received a feeler call that same day. Received offer of admission on 7/29. UVA - I went UR2 end of Sept, read that you could send in a…
…that shot. Apparently, shooting that shot leads to being waitlisted at 9 schools and counting. Don’t shoot that shot. Shoot that tequila instead.

…GW by the deposit deadline, only stayed on the Georgetown waitlist.- Sent 2 detailed LOCIs to Georgetown in February and April after the WL Zoom session. Received two Georgetown feelers- 1 mass feeler on April 26th and 1 very specific feeler on April 29th. My LOCIs said I would commit regardless of financial aid,…
…Georgetown: Interviewed mid October; Was on the regular waitlist; Applied to both FT/PT; Received a feeler March 26 about my interest in the PT program; Was released from the WL May 14; I think they didn’t have any more space specifically in the evening program George Washington: Received a pretty low scholarship…
…remotely in marketing. Previously applied, so R&R. I was waitlisted at UVA, so I thought my significant LSAT bump would count for something, but the 2020 apps were so competitive I was rejected pretty much everywhere (scored some good WL though!). Attending UF Law with a full scholarship, and honestly what can you…
…the updated score to the higher ranked schools where I was waitlisted, but am going to reapply in the fall unless I get a solid WL acceptance with $. Be above at least one 50th percentile/median (GPA or LSAT) to the schools you are applying. If you are below both medians, you will be a long shot at best,…
Not a bad cycle overall. I got waitlisted more than I was expecting. Some advice: show interest! If you would consider a school and hold it above another school, then go to interest meetings and schedule meetings 1:1 with admissions people.
Not sure how valid my advice is (see waitlists below), but here goes: Take the LSAT when you’re ready. Take your time with the essays. Don’t stress too much. It’d be nice to get into every school, but you only need to get accepted once to be a lawyer!
…I would of better refined my essays I would not of gotten waitlisted but didn’t vibe with the school during previews and during research, just felt neutral. Expected the WL. UNT - Safety for Texas **Arkansas - Safety State ** Arkansas is beautiful and cheap law schools but limited placement outside of state.…
I think I underestimated how much scores really matter. But if you’re waitlisted, I would just continue following up with the school, go visit, and attend as many admission zooms as possible to show interest. That’s what worked for me. Good luck! This process is a doozie.
…on the school Still active on CLS Reserve and SLS waitlist as of July 2021
…you want and wants you. While acceptances, rejections, and waitlists are cruel it guides you to the school that is meant to be. My biggest tip is to make sure it is a place you would want to be naturally. For the next three years it will not matter the name or ranking of your school. However, the relationships you…
