…and journey to law school), and received word of the waitlist decision on 3/13. I sent a pre-decision LOCI on 2/24. Only one application remains, and I can’t see myself attending even if I received a full scholarship, so…I guess this means my cycle is over? March 12, 2026: WL @ Wisconsin Lol. That’s really all I can…

Final thoughts: Overall I took Emory’s binding offer instead of hoping to get off the waitlist. I hope my thoughts below can be of some help to future applicants. I had the hardest time deciding between UF and Emory, although keep in mind I never went back to UF for money. I didn’t have time to tour, and although…
…I withdrew immediately from every school where I was waitlisted after I had been accepted to HLS. Reflections Above all, know your why and why now. This process, from the LSAT through the essays, submitting applications, and waiting for results, will consume every ounce of your mental energy and at times make you…
…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…

If you underperformed your stats, play the waitlist game!!! You can differentiate yourself from other applicants by doing as much as possible during the pre-1L summer. Get an internship in an unrelated field, get a job, volunteer, just do something. As you can see, I received zero T20 acceptances and was waitlisted…
…with. I did not write LOCI for any of the schools that waitlisted me because I was already comfortable with where I had gotten into and I honestly wasn’t going to wait until June-August to decide where I was going to live anyways. I did, however, send an updated resume as I got a part-time job on top of my full-time…
…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…
Was fully prepared to go to BC, but stayed on Northwestern’s waitlist. Sent a page long formal LOCI around their deposit deadline, then a short paragraph email LOCI about once a month after that. The last LOCI I sent was a few days before getting the feeler - I emphasized my ties to the Chicago area, which I think…
Thoughts on particular schools UNC “hold” is a soft waitlist, and unless you demonstrate visit-level interest after receiving it, it will turn into a real waitlist- Address went long at Michigan the Thursday/Friday before the week I got the A Gray bar at WashU within a week of decision GW date did disappear but I do…
…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…
Didn’t write any “Why X” essays but wrote optional essays for all the schools that had them GULC - group interview in November, “special group” in the priority waitlist in December, admitted off the waitlist in April UChicago - interview with an admissions staff member in December, waitlisted in January L&C -…

dreams come true! I was waitlisted by michigan last month (february 2025), and this month I requested a deferral to enroll as a student of next year’s class (see michigan waitlist faq). about three business days later, my request was approved! if you can afford to be flexible and you have a good reason to wait…
Be humble. Be consistent. Keep advocating for yourself while remaining grateful for every opportunity. The waitlist process tested my patience, but persistence ultimately paid off. To all my fellow Waitlist Warriors: don’t give up—you can do it!
…the school before applying. Bummed I didn’t at least get waitlisted. Also included brief LSAT addendum due to significant (6+ pts) score increase. **UMich (A) **- Wrote “Why Michigan” and answered one optional essay prompt.
