…figured I might as well shoot my shot. I ended up getting waitlisted at 5 schools. I went to visit one of them and they said if I had applied earlier in the cycle I would’ve been in. They later rejected me off the waitlist. So just be aware that if you are applying late you’ll need better stats and the process is…

If you underperformed your stats, play the waitlist game!!! You can differentiate yourself from other applicants by doing as much as possible during the pre-1L summer. Get an internship in an unrelated field, get a job, volunteer, just do something. As you can see, I received zero T20 acceptances and was waitlisted…

…re-evaluate my file and that I would receive a decision of waitlist, deny, or admit by March 17. I was sent an email in the late afternoon of March 17 inviting me to join UGA’s waitlist (which you automatically join). “Decision” indicates being waitlisted. Northeastern: “UR” as February 19 is not accurate; it was…
…with. I did not write LOCI for any of the schools that waitlisted me because I was already comfortable with where I had gotten into and I honestly wasn’t going to wait until June-August to decide where I was going to live anyways. I did, however, send an updated resume as I got a part-time job on top of my full-time…
…with on LinkedIn. This process is 1000x harder alone. -A waitlist is not a death sentence. Continue showing interest and updating the school as your resume updates. -Try to hold out for the option that is best for you. Oftentimes, these decisions come extremely late. It can be financially and emotionally taxing.…

…invaluable goodwill later. **Date change tea leaves and waitlist/hold notes: ** Emory took the longest to get back to me. The “pay deposit” button in Opus appeared under the usual “admissions” tab.- GSU scholarship info: looks cheap, actually is my best offer so far. $2000 for 1L, but full tuition + $4000/year…
Was fully prepared to go to BC, but stayed on Northwestern’s waitlist. Sent a page long formal LOCI around their deposit deadline, then a short paragraph email LOCI about once a month after that. The last LOCI I sent was a few days before getting the feeler - I emphasized my ties to the Chicago area, which I think…
…be a stretch now… 12/20 - …and my feeling was correct! Waitlisted today. Better than a rejection - just sent a letter of continued interest and said I was open to interview in Feb. Texas Tech: 11/19 - accepted, and with $$! The scholarship surprised me: $12,500 a year. EDIT - they just called to officially extend…

…mater, UCI, and chose it over Northwestern. I then got a waitlist interview request from UCLA Law. During the time in between I had attended the Waitlist webinar (they know if you attended it and mark it down) and had sent 3 LOCIs (1 per month). I did the interview and was accepted off the waitlist. UCLA offered me…
…with good news. After being devastated upon receiving a waitlist invitation from my top choice, and begrudgingly coming to terms with the fact that I may have to attend the same university at which I earned my undergraduate AND graduate degrees, after four months, I was not only accepted into Emory Law, but given a…
Thoughts on particular schools UNC “hold” is a soft waitlist, and unless you demonstrate visit-level interest after receiving it, it will turn into a real waitlist- Address went long at Michigan the Thursday/Friday before the week I got the A Gray bar at WashU within a week of decision GW date did disappear but I do…
…were a big part that got my foot in the door on the waitlist. LOCI: I knew my GPA was among the lowest on Harvard’s waitlist, so I felt I needed to raise some eyebrows to get my name on the interview list. I made fairly formulaic LOCIs for the other places I was waitlisted (how their programs connect with my…
