…Ole Miss with partial scholarship. Admitted from the waitlist after approx. 5 months. Excited to get moving and settle into a new town. I think this is about as good as I could have done considering the wants/needs I had during the process. Staying in the mid-south, very affordable tuition, and being close to…

…of Wisconsin and Loyola Chicago gave me a chance by waitlisting me. That probably means they’d at least take me. Waiting to see if the second time is the charm. I won’t be trying again for a third cycle if this does not pan out. I’m already past 30 and this is pushing it. Edit: UW was a straight rejection this…
A few thoughts on waitlists, “your chances,” R&R, the LSAT, and advice in general: Never give up on waitlists, especially ones that are known to have good movement (like in my case with HLS). A strong, school-specific Letter of Continued Interest (LOCI) can go a long way. Do not send the same LOCI to every school,…
…out at least once to show your interest. If you get on a waitlist, and you want to go to that school, stay on that waitlist and keep showing your interest through the LOCI’s as described above. You can talk about your interest in the school, or a new project you’re starting, or a prelaw class you’re taking, a new…
…received any rejections. I chose not to ride any of the waitlists I was offered a spot on because I was extremely happy with my Alabama Law acceptance, and after visiting and attending Admitted Students Weekend, I knew it would be a great fit for me. Doing research on the schools I was accepted and waitlisted at by…
Reapplicant from the ’20-21 cycle, waitlisted or rejected at every school I applied to. Reapplying to the same schools, plus added Stanford, Columbia, Chicago, NYU, and Penn to shoot my shot with a new and improved LSAT score. Georgetown date disappeared the same day as waitlist on 12/3 Went Duke UR3 on 12/7 Chicago…
…Applied last cycle around January with my 158 and got waitlisted or rejected everywhere. Got into a 100+ law school I panic applied to in April with a full ride then a few weeks later off the waitlist at Oregon with 25k/yr in scholarship. The full ride was so tempting but I was just not excited about the school.…
…Don’t get me wrong; I was super proud of myself for being waitlisted at top schools with a 145. However, I think I was a bit unrealistic, but it worked out, so do what you want with that information. **Decision Process: ** I walked away from a dean fellowship and full ride from Penn State for Wake Forest at the very…
…ago someone with my stats would have an okay shot at it. Waitlisted at Penn: dead inside Changed Duke to ED2 on 1/5 because it’s my life and paying some extra money for a lifelong income and prestige multiplier is worth it for me. Hopefully, I get in. I saw one person on Reddit get in ED with 170, 3.5 so it gives me…
…and wrote a LOCI on it. Put on hold in december then waitlisted february, honestly I have not been super impressed with the way that GULC addresses applicants (put me on hold to “get a better sense of the applicant pool” then let me know that I was in the bottom group of the waitlist so “should deposit somewhere…
…In regards to Emory, I removed myself from the Waitlist (on the phone with an admissions counselor) yet a week later got a call from the head of admissions who offered me admission as well as a $120,000 scholarship. He had no knowledge of the conversation where I removed myself from the waitlist.
Applied with a 155. Got waitlisted at great schools even with a 155 because my statements carried. Did a diversity statement and every optional essay schools had. My advice for splitters is to rely on your statements. Humans are inherently selfish. You will not be admitted because of how great you are but how…
…I was then rejected from UVA, Stanford, and Duke, waitlisted at Vandy, SPWL at Fordham, and re-reviewed at WashU. 07/12/2021: Accepted from the Northwestern Waitlist Find ways to be productive. Recognize your strengths and weaknesses. Remember that you want to be a lawyer. I found peace with my second choice, BU,…
…had a better than coinflip chance at getting off the NU waitlist had I stayed on and did the typical waitlist things (Kira interview, LOCIs, etc) - but Mich was my top choice anyway so I didn’t bother. Apply early if possible - I had the worst writer’s block while writing my essays though. do not apply to only a few…
…spoke to my close family and friends when I got accepted, waitlisted, and rejected. They cheered me on at times and they consoled me at other times. I could not have gone through this process without them. Maybe you do not have close family or even friends to share in your struggle, but you have this website! Find…
…wrote a gpa and lsat addendum (retook the lsat for waitlists and got a 166 - likely not enough to move any needles) only wrote a LOCI for fordham bc i committed to dozo, signed a lease, and wasn’t itching to move. fordham has been my realistic “top choice” throughout the cycle and i told them that. they held onto me…
…it seems I neither over/underperformed my numbers. UT waitlist was a pleasant surprise but Irvine waitlist was disappointing — although I was only 1 point above last year’s median so a +2 target (seems very possible) would’ve made me much less competitive. Given the general unpredictability of splitter cycles…
