…Epstein PILP at UCLA, Olin at WashU Other decision notes: Waitlisted at UCLA in December but taken off WL when I got into Epstein PILP in January (no LOCI).

*** Off the UNH Waitlist, my top pick! I sent one formal LOCI, a handful of informal ones, two additional letters of recommendation, and increased my LSAT from 152 to 161 - all after being placed on the waitlist in January. *** R&R, previous year’s results are under ‘mayungiles’. Reapplying because the Army offered…
when the chile is tea but the finna is gag sis i’m dead as a chile below is what happens when you apply late aka in a frenzy late-January to early February (waitlists lol)… if you’re in the same boat as me, make sure you apply widely. UT was kind of spur of the moment based on my Feb LSAT result and it’s where I’m…

…if you are above one median then you have a chance. Waitlists do NOT mean you are “soft” denied - students are accepted from them every year from almost every school. The trick to waitlists is simply keeping the school updated and basically reminding them you exist and want to attend - have some sort of contact with…
Wrote why X & all optional essays. The whole process is weird. (ex. I get waitlisted at Michigan for yield protect but waitlisted at Chicago for not being qualified enough, even though they are ranked 8 and 4 respectively.) Keep and open mind. Don’t fall in love with a particular school because it’ll make…

…I wrote every optional essay that I could, and I got waitlisted from every school for which I did not write a “Why [school]” essay (that was offered). If your reason for applying isn’t abundantly clear, write that essay if it is an option. Applying early matters at some schools and not at all at others. My results…

…to start rolling in soon after––I was completely wrong. Waitlist letter after waitlist letter arrived in my inbox and I became extremely disheartened. Not even my undergraduate school, Duquesne University, wanted me! After months of hoping someone would recognize my efforts in undergrad with a 3.99 GPA. I came to…
…to that, think about cutting it out. Decisions Getting waitlisted or rejected sucks, but it can be a blessing. It’s easy to get caught up about getting into* *every school, but in the end you’re only choosing one. Even the most perfect applicants still get denied from schools, so don’t take it personally or beat…
