Admitted to University of California (Hastings)…to most schools on February 15 Toured GULC and BU post waitlist and emailed about it GULC preferred waitlist; feeler email May 30 Sent LOCI immediately for all waitlisted schools excepted UVA, Richmond, and Temple NYU hold February 6; WL April 29 Feeler email from Northwestern on July 31; accepted August 1 Public…
…it seems I neither over/underperformed my numbers. UT waitlist was a pleasant surprise but Irvine waitlist was disappointing — although I was only 1 point above last year’s median so a +2 target (seems very possible) would’ve made me much less competitive. Given the general unpredictability of splitter cycles…
…Epstein PILP at UCLA, Olin at WashU Other decision notes: Waitlisted at UCLA in December but taken off WL when I got into Epstein PILP in January (no LOCI). Originally waitlisted for PI scholarships at BU (did not pursue) and UC Berkeley (pursued heavily: LOCI, 2 meetings - 1 in person - with person overseeing…
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…
…to 5 schools 2020-21 cycle with a 15low and got 4/5 waitlists, no acceptances. Reapplying this cycle with higher LSAT and fingers crossed. Aug 2021 - 157, Oct 2021 - 161 Wrote LSAT Addendum for 9 point jump and GPA Addendum
…Yes, you may not get all As but chances are amidst the waitlists you will get something! Apply to lots of places and you can do this!!!!!!!! my best advice is to free write your PS a lot before you write it! actually reflect as to why you are trying to go to law school! talk to people in your life about why you want…
…a campus designed by Frank Gehry…). Sent LOCI for every waitlist within a few days, that touched on new positions/promotions and also pseudo-mini-WhyX and how I can contribute to their student body. No 10k LSAT tutor, just the extended practice tests and Khan academy (for the first test: good starting place but gets…
…so I cut out a lot of unnecessary fluff. If you get waitlisted at your top schools, your work is just beginning. Write letters of continuing interest and do what you can to boost your application. Then write more letters to brag about whatever you’re working on. Tell your top school that they’re your top and, if…
Applied with August 162, took February LSAT, and got a 166 for negotiation and waitlists.
**Attending University of Minnesota off the Waitlist ** Applied in November -> WL on Jan 24 -> LOCI on Feb 9 -> A on April 6. This was totally unexpected but it came with enough scholarship money to make my decision easy. My LOCI focused on their IP concentration, my interest in staying in Minneapolis after…
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.
