…and journey to law school), and received word of the waitlist decision on 3/13. I sent a pre-decision LOCI on 2/24. Only one application remains, and I can’t see myself attending even if I received a full scholarship, so…I guess this means my cycle is over? March 12, 2026: WL @ Wisconsin Lol. That’s really all I can…

Admitted to University of Minnesota…amount to $40,000/yr. 01/04/2023 University of Alabama - WAITLISTED,* *WITHDRAWN On 01/04/2023, I was waitlisted. I was not surprised as one may think, as I believe this decision was affected by my C&F disclosures, but I was certainly still disappointed. I sent a LOCI about a week later after I received a 167. A…
Final thoughts: Overall I took Emory’s binding offer instead of hoping to get off the waitlist. I hope my thoughts below can be of some help to future applicants. I had the hardest time deciding between UF and Emory, although keep in mind I never went back to UF for money. I didn’t have time to tour, and although…
…result than I expected here. Still withdrew from the waitlist - I would rather have UVA or Penn with whatever scholarship than UChi at sticker. Harvard**: Did not do any supplemental essays.

…invaluable goodwill later. **Date change tea leaves and waitlist/hold notes: ** Emory took the longest to get back to me. The “pay deposit” button in Opus appeared under the usual “admissions” tab.- GSU scholarship info: looks cheap, actually is my best offer so far. $2000 for 1L, but full tuition + $4000/year…
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…
https://www.gothambagels.com/blog/what-is-an-egg-bagel I never thought I’d get off a single waitlist, let alone two — I don’t think I did anything in particular that stood out, just responded to each feeler enthusiastically while praying at least one school would find themselves needing high GPA candidates. Also,…
…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.

…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.

…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…
…offices was exceptional. I didn’t pursue any of the waitlists because I was happy with my offer at Michigan. However, the 135k figure includes need-based aid which I didn’t receive until mid-March. Best of luck and remember that your stats, acceptances, and your scholarships do not define you as an individual. Don’t…
