Admitted to Georgetown University…difference in getting quick acceptances to UVA/GULC versus waitlists elsewhere leads me to think that schools are pretty good at sussing out an applicant’s genuine interest level. On the other hand, my stats definitely aren’t no brainers for the other schools on my list, so make of that what you will. I wrote the…

…topic in my PS, which I think led to a lot of the waitlists and the SLS admit. All in all, I wouldn’t change things, but in the middle of February I was definitely regretting it.
Shoot 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…

…LOCIs to Penn, Michigan, or Chicago. I completed the NYU waitlist Kira on 5/17 and sent them a second LOCI on 6/2. I also sent a second LOCI to Columbia on 5/22.- I just want to put on the record that I thought I totally blew it during my NYU wait list Kira by calling their Public Interest Law Center by the wrong…
…I would’ve gotten acceptances at most of the schools I was waitlisted at, and possibly stronger financial aid offers, if I applied sooner. For those a year out or more from the application deadline, this might mean beginning studying for the LSAT sooner! I took the LSAT 3 times to achieve my 177 (a total of 7 months…

Shoot 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…
