…amount to $40,000/yr. 01/04/2023 University of Alabama - WAITLISTED,* *WITHDRAWN On 01/04/2023, I was waitlisted. I was not surprised as one may think, as I believe this decision was affected by my C&F disclosures, but I was certainly still disappointed. I sent a LOCI about a week later after I received a 167. A…

Admitted to Arizona State University…second Harvard R wave. Very happy, but also anticipating a waitlist. February 6: Columbia Hold. This definitely hurt––at the risk of sounding overconfident, I thought I had a solid shot at a Columbia acceptance. I understand that a hold is not a decision, but it’s tempting to just take it as a bad sign and withdraw…
…I did. George Washington: Jan. 12, ACCEPTED- Receiving a waitlist offer from GW was rough, especially because it wasn’t a top school on my list. I wonder if it was partially because I rejected their offer for undergrad. UC Berkeley: Jan. 17, ACCEPTED - Getting an A from Berkeley was completely unexpected! My first…
…Long time, no see, friends! Not much has changed. I got waitlisted from Northwestern which I am honestly very, very happy with. What that signals to me, at least, is that my application package as a whole is at the level that it is very difficult to say no to me. Or that’s how I’m going to take it. Given my GPA, I…
…result than I expected here. Still withdrew from the waitlist - I would rather have UVA or Penn with whatever scholarship than UChi at sticker. Harvard**: Did not do any supplemental essays. First R of the cycle - not a shocker. On to the next one.** UPenn**:** Wrote the Core Values essay - it was the essay that I…
…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…

…Fellowship + Programmatic Contribution UNC:- Why UNC **WAITLISTS: ** Cornell interview invite March 12- Michigan feeler call May 6 I played the waitlist game. I sent LOCIs to Duke, Penn, UVA (in the feeler form), Berkeley (in the feeler form), Cornell, and Vandy. Cornell received LOCIs from me after both of their…
…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…
…have justified coughing up the money for a fancier school. Waitlist Stuff Withdrew from Michigan, UCLA, Texas, Fordham and BC the day of decision.Chicago- : sent LOCI on 03.28 talking about the Dr. Alexander invite because Hail Mary/YOLO.

…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…
…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…
…I had: applied to more schools applied earlier If you’re waitlisted at your target school(s), don’t give up, and make sure to write Letters of Continued Interest! Use resources online to help you with this. One tip I have is don’t be afraid to tell a school straight up that if they admit you off the waitlist, you…
…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…
…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…
…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…
