Admitted to University of Minnesota…They were straightforward about most admissions off the waitlist not happening until ~the second week of April. Sent LOCI on 3/8 Georgetown - Wrote Top 10 Books I read in 2023. Interviewed on 3/17, went about 10 minutes over time, received the “exceptional group” comment + dean andy’s personal email. sent a ‘thank…
…I thought was a fantastic interview with WashU and was waitlisted several months later (received two HTEs in the meantime, which I appreciated). —Held at NYU in January. —Radio silence from UMN for 6 months and counting. Assuming this will result in a WL at best. Follow-up email sent 3/22/23. Surprised by this A!…
reapplicant from last cycle. was waitlisted to 12 schools (ranked from penn to american), rejected to two (harvard and fordham), and accepted at lewis & clark with a small scholarship. after talking with current students in public interest they convinced me not to attend. i applied w same gpa but a 164 lsat. retook…
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…
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!
I’m the waitlist bitch sunglasses emoji Also don’t worry GW was yield protect.
…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…
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…
**Attending University of Minnesota off the Waitlist ** Applied in November -> WL on Jan 24 -> LOCI on Feb 9 -> A on April 6. This was totally unexpected but it came with enough scholarship money to make my decision easy. My LOCI focused on their IP concentration, my interest in staying in Minneapolis after…
Although both UMN and GWU were tempting, the Iowa offer was too good to pass up. I didn’t want to sit around on waitlists and I reconciled a slightly lower ranking for $$$$
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
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 =)
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.
…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…
…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 got something from either of these two sites was my Yale waitlist, which I had to check manually (no email as of the time of writing this 6 days later). Otherwise, all it did was stress me out unnecessarily. Just live life like normal! I think I performed at, or maybe a little above, my stats. As I see it, the big…
