…I did. George Washington: Jan. 12, ACCEPTED- Receiving a waitlist offer from GW was rough, especially because it wasn’t a top school on my list. I wonder if it was partially because I rejected their offer for undergrad. UC Berkeley: Jan. 17, ACCEPTED - Getting an A from Berkeley was completely unexpected! My first…

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…

…my essays and LORs were what kept me in the running to be waitlisted. The LSAT was really hard for me, so I don’t think getting my score up even 5+ points was really feasible. If I could, though, I think at least some of my waitlists would have been an A. I chose not to play the “waitlist game”. I didn’t send any…

…back on a Sunday. Duke loves being unpredictable haha Waitlists UCLA: I was genuinely mad at this decision. I’m from LA and thought I had a great shot. Given that this was my third decision, I was worried that I wouldn’t get into anywhere else. I put my name on the waitlist but I quickly took it out of consideration…
…supplemental essays. I was lucky enough to get off the waitlist at Michigan soon after the deposit deadline, but I can’t help but think I could’ve saved myself a lot of anxiety and stress by just waiting a few more weeks and applying when my application was stronger. Graduated summa from a T20 undergrad (humanities…
