…And none of that is really quantifiable. 6. Fordham’s waitlist is fake. I’m serious. Go look at their charts. They’re Waitlisting their A’s to get out of accepting sooner than later. They WL’d someone who got into NYU and CLS. Go look. If you got the Fordham WL, take it as an A and move on. They dont deserve your…

Admitted to Loyola University—Chicago…I’ve received. I’m not someone who would like to wait on a waitlist for personal planning reasons so once I received my last few decisions, I withdrew from my waitlists and some of my lower preference acceptances. As of right now, the choice is between Texas Tech and Penn State Carlisle. Waiting to see if PSU can…
…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…

While it is possible to get into schools with scholarships applying late in the cycle, it will limit your options and provide a lot of waitlists at schools you’d likely be admitted to when applying in the fall. The LSAT is a huge factor and can drag a low GPA up.
…7Sage blog posts and free resources are really good for waitlist info and scholarship negotiation. https://7sage.com/podcast-episode-71-scholarship-negotiations-and-reconsideration-part-2/- —– this is such a great podcast/transcript and I highly recommend it before drafting reconsideration attempts. I used LSAT Lab…
…I thought was a fantastic interview with WashU and was waitlisted several months later (received two HTEs in the meantime, which I appreciated). —Held at NYU in January. —Radio silence from UMN for 6 months and counting. Assuming this will result in a WL at best. Follow-up email sent 3/22/23. Surprised by this A!…
Waitlisted at these schools last cycle with the same stats: BC WashU Emory I withdrew from all three in May 2021 and decided to re-apply the next cycle since I committed to my job for another year

…of them to tell me that the timeline to get off the waitlists is anywhere from April to August. Sending out a LOCI to UC Hastings. I currently have a sick ass gradient. Negotiated with PSU and UNLV.

Applied to numerous top 14 schools for the 2020-2021 cycle, and received all R’s aside from Georgetown, who placed me on their preferred waitlist. However, I wasn’t ready to make the financial commitment of relocating from Chicago to Washington, D.C. and removed myself from consideration. This cycle, I decided to…
I think I underestimated how much scores really matter. But if you’re waitlisted, I would just continue following up with the school, go visit, and attend as many admission zooms as possible to show interest. That’s what worked for me. Good luck! This process is a doozie.
…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.
…I got something from either of these two sites was my Yale waitlist, which I had to check manually (no email as of the time of writing this 6 days later). Otherwise, all it did was stress me out unnecessarily. Just live life like normal! I think I performed at, or maybe a little above, my stats. As I see it, the big…
…any scholarships or write any LOCIs for the schools I was waitlisted at. Withdrew from WashU in late March - I interviewed in late Oct and was essentially ghosted. I had chosen a school already and elected to withdraw before receiving a decision.
