Admitted to Case Western Reserve University…with on LinkedIn. This process is 1000x harder alone. -A waitlist is not a death sentence. Continue showing interest and updating the school as your resume updates. -Try to hold out for the option that is best for you. Oftentimes, these decisions come extremely late. It can be financially and emotionally taxing.…
There are techniques to get off a waitlist. All is not lost! Look into writing a strong letter of continued interest and reach out to a trusted professor or mentor for a new recommendation letter. Factors to consider: things that show continued interest (touring, school-specific programs that interest you,…
…shoot your shot if you have the money or a fee waiver. A waitlist is not an acceptance, it’s a backup plan at best. Be careful (and strategic) if you decide to retake and reapply. I was pretty accurate with my predictions, the only real surprises were the Pepperdine A, Baylor WL, and W&M R. Turns out I was wrong…
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 T2 softs have to do with disability, ethnic background, and speaking a language with ~50-100 speakers as part of a revival project. I was waitlisted at every T20-T30-T40 I applied to… then somehow rejected by two T60s.
Apply if you are a little bit under, maybe you will get waitlisted and get accepted.
…LSAT score met or exceeded the median, and was rejected or waitlisted at those where I fell short. I truly believe the scores get your foot in the door and your essays are what separate you from other applicants. Ultimately, my decision came down to UCLA, Michigan, Duke, and Virginia. I loved all four of their…
**Attending University of Minnesota off the Waitlist ** Applied in November -> WL on Jan 24 -> LOCI on Feb 9 -> A on April 6. This was totally unexpected but it came with enough scholarship money to make my decision easy. My LOCI focused on their IP concentration, my interest in staying in Minneapolis after…
…get in and get $$$$ at schools where I got rejected or waitlisted. I’m sure timing wasn’t the only factor, but definitely something to keep in mind when planning!

…its true). have a LOCI ready, you will more than likely be waitlisted by a school, have a LOCI on deck so you can send it early, having to write multiple is a real pain in the ass.

If anyone finds it interesting that someone with my stats got waitlisted to BLS, PM me.
