Admitted to Emory UniversityShoot your shot and APPLY EARLY because timing matters (especially for $$)!!! My friends with similar backgrounds, gpa, and higher lsat scores get rejected or waitlisted after applying in January rather than October/November. As long as your score isn’t horrendous, apply with the score you have instead of waiting…
…Alumni interview invite 1/4, interview 1/17, preferred waitlist BU: public interest scholly app & essay Vandy: Almuni interview denied bc I was studying abroad UT: interview invite 01/03, interview conducted 01/05
I decided to attend Emory because it gave me good BL chances at the best price point in a really good location(pending waitlists, but I don’t expect any bites from my LOCIs). If you want a T14 or even a T20 acceptance at a 3.6, you will need to aim higher than a 170. I would advise future applicants to retake 170s…
…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…
…was not ideal). However, I’m very proud of my waitlists because applying later allows me to live in the dream that I would have been accepted if I’d applied 4-6 months earlier ;)
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,…
…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.
Making decisions is the hardest part Money off the waitlist is possible Apply to as broad a range of schools as you can afford/expend effort for

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…
…will start asking what’s happening with X school’s waitlist movement before you’ve even heard their initial decision on your file. Ignore it. Checking this site every day will not make decisions come any faster. Don’t compare your results with your stats twins who applied early in the cycle. They did better. You’ve…
…that often end up disappointed and/or stuck on perpetual waitlists. Don’t only craft your Why X essay to your top school: your Top School should be a place that really strikes home to you for reasons of personal connection and fit, and you should try your hardest to subtly tailor your PS towards that school in…
…6 infinity stones and snap everyone ahead of you on the waitlist out of existence. The mass murder of half of everything IS your LOCI. Send a nice assortment of pastries. But you’ve actually poisoned them all. Your LOCI is the only antidote. You recruit them to the knights of the round table to search for the holy…
…I am currently riding out the UChicago, Columbia, and NYU waitlists, but I am aware that those are unlikely to have movement.
…GPA was 3.82, then went through rest of cycle (before most waitlists) with 3.88 Final CAS GPA 3.91 At least two glowing letters of rec out of four (very likely) decent ones ORM
WF has a “non-binding” early decision program, and that’s what I was accepted to with a 45k scholarship. deferred myself to regular decision and was waitlisted
…optional interview for Northwestern (update: also did the waitlist interview for Northwestern as well on 3/3/22) Update: submitted LOCI for NYU and NW in late march/early april. Good luck to you if you’re reading this :)
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…
