…my essays and LORs were what kept me in the running to be waitlisted. The LSAT was really hard for me, so I don’t think getting my score up even 5+ points was really feasible. If I could, though, I think at least some of my waitlists would have been an A. I chose not to play the “waitlist game”. I didn’t send any…
…LSAT score, or yourself - especially yourself! Regarding waitlists: While my rejections hurt, I began to see them as a blessing as this interminably slow cycle dragged on and on. Waitlists require much more work and expressing continued interest for a school that has been dangling you from a string for nearly half a…

…And none of that is really quantifiable. 6. Fordham’s waitlist is fake. I’m serious. Go look at their charts. They’re Waitlisting their A’s to get out of accepting sooner than later. They WL’d someone who got into NYU and CLS. Go look. If you got the Fordham WL, take it as an A and move on. They dont deserve your…

…of hours into perfecting my application just to be waitlisted at my most-preferred schools. I believe that the most significant weakness in my application is my LSAT score. I am working to increase that score as I prepare my second set of applications. Stay diligent with your studies and keep pressing forward. Do…
https://www.gothambagels.com/blog/what-is-an-egg-bagel I never thought I’d get off a single waitlist, let alone two — I don’t think I did anything in particular that stood out, just responded to each feeler enthusiastically while praying at least one school would find themselves needing high GPA candidates. Also,…
…do your best on your Personal Statement - yes, it matters! Waitlist tips: If you can, hold on to your waitlist for as long as possible if you know you really want to go there (and can make it there on short notice). Sometimes it’s small, but there’s always a chance that you could get admitted. Don’t forget to…
…back on a Sunday. Duke loves being unpredictable haha Waitlists UCLA: I was genuinely mad at this decision. I’m from LA and thought I had a great shot. Given that this was my third decision, I was worried that I wouldn’t get into anywhere else. I put my name on the waitlist but I quickly took it out of consideration…
