Admitted to Vanderbilt UniversityShoot 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…

…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…
…from your preferred school. Advice #5: Be proactive about waitlists. Send letters of continued interest, go to online seminars, maybe even call the admissions office if you’re comfortable enough.

…test scores. NYU - got HTE, sent in a LOCI, was waitlisted. I submitted a LOCI each month and completed the interview.

…first wave of admits) and UChicago (which obvi ended up a waitlist). Other details about stats/softs. I took the LSAT 3 times: 169, 173 (Flex), 178 (flex). I listed my softs as T3 because I played D1 baseball (non-HYP Ivy) and made the Academic All-America team one season. My job out of undergrad was very unique…
…Don’t leave anything to chance either. I got off the waitlist by being persistent. Multiple LOCIS, calling the admissions office frequently to check in, and sending in another LOR. That said, I also got a little lucky and blessed by God;) You odds of luck increase with persistence though. So be persistent!…
…lots of people talk about yield protection and getting waitlisted at “worse” schools than they think they deserve (although I think this mindset is ugly). Honestly, best way to prevent this is to show interest in the schools, so write all the optional essays you can. I found it helpful to have a template essay I…
…the school i will be committing to. i didn’t remain on any waitlists. best advice is to NOT apply to as many safety schools as me; it was a waste of time and money and provided no scholarship leverage. good luck to everybody!
