…disappeared on the status checker Thursday, and I wasn’t waitlisted on Friday), so it wasn’t a total shock, but it was still a great way to finish my day of classes. Dean Andy left me a 17 second video message congratulating me by name. I know he does that for everyone he admits, but its a nice touch :) Scholarship…

…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…
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…

…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…

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. GULC- : sent full LOCI day of WL decision (Friday, 12.03). Sent a less formal…
…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. Attended a virtual info session prior to applying. Also included brief LSAT addendum due to…
…one. Happy to walk away with only two R’s, but getting waitlist after waitlist was a little mentally taxing.
…available. Take a year and reapply. Based on the 10+ waitlists I have been on, waitlists are the same as R’s. This is not just a numbers game. Written materials matter more than you would think, so take the time to do it right. Know your worth. It is not found in these institutions.
…Interviews: WashU (invited in Nov) NU Kira, both rd and waitlist interviews LOCIs- Sent these before I heard back to UVA and Northwestern 2.) Still apply early- I noticed that splitters with similar stats who got into schools I was waitlisted at, applied earlier. I know this cycle was hellishly slow, but don’t be…
They call me the waitlist of all trades, master of two. I never expected to score this high on the LSAT (I retook with a goal of a 168 to be closer to Fordham and GW’s median) and had to completely redo my list a few days before applications opened. It was an absolute blessing to not only get in to schools that were…
…a particularly convincing supplemental essay, yet I was waitlisted by Duke, my top choice, despite submitting a flawless application and having written all of the supplemental essays in which I presented what I thought were compelling reasons for wanting to attend. Ultimately, your results will probably be a little…
First, I’m applying the 24-25 cycle with a GRE only. Assuming I get off of 0 waitlists (as I write this, I have at least 6), it would probably be time to retake and reapply with an actual LSAT. Don’t use Blueprint unless your diagnostic is already 160+. I’m going to use LSAT Demon to try assuming I don’t get one…

…employment can’t be made up with likely scholarship $. **Waitlists: ** **Northwestern **I withdrew. The cost would be too much and having to turn down an offer would hurt my soul. Pretty sure the WL was only because I applied ED with borderline R stats. **USC **Withdrew mid-may. They sent an email saying it was…
