…Go Cougars! University of Texas at Austin - Result: Waitlist. January 23, 2026 I was not expecting to hear from Texas this soon, and definitely not at 5:00 pm on a Friday of a fairly slow decision week. Nonetheless, this result was not much of a surprise for me. UT Austin was always my “hail Mary” school, and I knew…

Admitted to Texas A&M University…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…
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…
…be a stretch now… 12/20 - …and my feeling was correct! Waitlisted today. Better than a rejection - just sent a letter of continued interest and said I was open to interview in Feb. Texas Tech: 11/19 - accepted, and with $$! The scholarship surprised me: $12,500 a year. EDIT - they just called to officially extend…
…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…
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…
…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…
…2/6 with 168 LSAT with 100% tuition + 4k summer PI stipend Waitlisted at Tulane 2/27 WTF??? withdrew Waitlisted at ASU 3/5, withdrew
…the places where I feel I “underperformed” my stats was my waitlist at Penn, and it was the only school where I was given space to write an optional (Core Values) and I chose not to do so. Special plug for NYU app: please look through their optional scholarship essays! They don’t give out as much aid generally but…
…applicant from the previous cycle where I was rejected or waitlisted from every school I applied to other than 2 non-ranking schools. My LSAT at the time was a 150. That disappointing cycle motivated me to transform my frustration into motivation to score as high as I could before the start of the current cycle. My…
…me a lot of hair but almost done :) 3/10/24 update UCLA waitlist a week or so ago. Almost done. UVA is ghosting me sadly or I would already be done.
…dream school could be one you are taking up a spot on the waitlist, when you have no intentions on going there. Help everyone by telling the schools that you are pursing a different option.
…was not ideal). However, I’m very proud of my waitlists because applying later allows me to live in the dream that I would have been accepted if I’d applied 4-6 months earlier ;)
Reverse Splitter that ended up with a good number of waitlists. All in all, my cycle went well, and I got scholarship money at every single school that accepted me. One thing to note, if you’re LSAT is on the lower end like mine, EVERYTHING matters. Your Personal statement, your recommendations, your why x essay,…
…6 infinity stones and snap everyone ahead of you on the waitlist out of existence. The mass murder of half of everything IS your LOCI. Send a nice assortment of pastries. But you’ve actually poisoned them all. Your LOCI is the only antidote. You recruit them to the knights of the round table to search for the holy…
…I’m beyond grateful to have each of my acceptance and waitlist decisions, and I will continue to update my profile with further decisions and scholarship offers as the cycle continues. Feel free to reach out!
…at Duke, Cornell, UCLA, or Boston. Most of those schools waitlisted me; none of them accepted me outright. That being said, I did this process very quickly. I decided I was going to go to law school in June, studied for the LSAT in July-August, and took the August-September-October LSATs, scoring a 171 on both of my…
…shocked that I got into Michigan so quickly, and I got waitlisted at other schools. I put the most effort into my applications for Michigan, GMU, and UVA, so I’m not necessarily surprised at these outcomes. My stats were too low for UVA, and I wouldn’t go without merit scholarships anyway.
