My advice is threefold: Retake the test: a few more points could make the difference between a waitlist and an admission, or a scholarship over sticker price. Keep your expectations low: This is a long, slow process full of high and low points. Try not to go crazy. Decisions will come. It’s just going to take…

APPLY EARLY!!! BEFORE MID OCTOBER!!! DO IT!!! to be honest and not to be bitter, but i suspect i could have gotten into some of my waitlists as a sept/oct applicant. i thought applying before the new year was sufficiently ‘early’ but looking back i wish had gotten my materials together over the summer. don’t get me…

…my dream school. 12/31/2024 The overwhelming amount of waitlists… 2/6/2025 It has been a truly humbling two weeks, and honestly, I have changed so much as a person because of it. It forced me to jump out of a narrow vision and reflect upon my fixations – maybe beneath the heretofore thin rope that I subjected myself…
…ucla- a little disappointing I was hoping for at least a waitlist. Wrote their extra essay thing Davis- got email at 6:05 PM accepting me. Financial aid email to come shortly BU- got the call around 12 ET. financial aid came with admissions packet. Two days later they sent a revised scholarship offer without any…
…I’m beyond grateful to have each of my acceptance and waitlist decisions, and I will continue to update my profile with further decisions and scholarship offers as the cycle continues. Feel free to reach out!
…the most sense by far. I would have been upset if I were waitlisted there and had to attend another T14. There was a perfect storm of unique personal factors and 2025 cycle competitiveness which led me to play it safe and ED for such a strong target. I would personally do it again, but I would not recommend it for…
…a decision by 2/1.I just need closure at this point lol. Waitlisted on 1/31 around 4:15pm! I also got an email to do an optional interview as a form of LOCI, but I will likely withdraw and choose between WashU and Texas. Withdrew my application on 2/15/24. **KU: **Went complete on 9/26 and radio silence for a while…
Apply early! I think I got some waitlists that I would not have gotten had I not applied early September, given my stats. Also, get started early! Having everything ready to go before applications even opened reduced my stress a lot throughout the process. I ultimately ended up choosing Emory because of the job…
…1/19 USouth Carolina: WL Sent application: 12/22- Waitlisted: 1/15 This is devastating Elon University: Accepted Sent application: 12/20- Interview invite: 1/19 Interview date: 2/4 The interview lasted 6 minutes. He asked me why law school and why Elon, then if I had any questions. Said everything looked terrific…
…LOCIs throughout the summer and seeing if I can get any waitlist movement, particularly at my dream school NYU!
…at Duke, Cornell, UCLA, or Boston. Most of those schools waitlisted me; none of them accepted me outright. That being said, I did this process very quickly. I decided I was going to go to law school in June, studied for the LSAT in July-August, and took the August-September-October LSATs, scoring a 171 on both of my…
I live in NYC, want to stay, and have public interest goals so NYU it is. staying on the Harvard waitlist just in case but it’s hard to imagine uprooting my life and taking on crazy debt for it at this point 4 years of non law-related experience my advice for future generations…write optional essays, have a…
If anyone finds it interesting that someone with my stats got waitlisted to BLS, PM me.
Try to apply early in the cycle. I think a good number of my waitlists would have been acceptances if I’d applied earlier. That or my essays suck
GPA 3.59 2025–26 cycle
…test and scored a 780/1000 on the 74% percentile. I was waitlisted at Charleston Law and Toledo Law last 2023/2024 cycle I hope one law school can accept me. Admitted to the CLEO/PLSI program for Summer 2025.
Don’t apply late if you can, but if you do, believe in yourself and blanket the T14. I was interviewed and waitlisted after applying to Harvard in February. You miss every shot you don’t take ✌🏾
