Admitted to University of Richmond…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
My T2 softs have to do with disability, ethnic background, and speaking a language with ~50-100 speakers as part of a revival project. I was waitlisted at every T20-T30-T40 I applied to… then somehow rejected by two T60s.
…Last cycle I was choosing between Hofstra and Pitt, waitlisted at 13/26 schools, and only had conditional scholarships. When your GPA is low the two best things you can do are put time into getting above your goal schools scores on the LSAT (I took it 3 times with a year and a half between my second and third time…

Call the following day from the admission dept with scholarship email…
WF has a “non-binding” early decision program, and that’s what I was accepted to with a 45k scholarship. deferred myself to regular decision and was waitlisted
