…re-evaluate my file and that I would receive a decision of waitlist, deny, or admit by March 17. I was sent an email in the late afternoon of March 17 inviting me to join UGA’s waitlist (which you automatically join). “Decision” indicates being waitlisted. Northeastern: “UR” as February 19 is not accurate; it was…

Admitted to University of Tennessee…(can’t be 100% sure). Took their dear sweet time but the waitlist came via email at 7 am CST on 2/29 UGA: Got the hold via email on 12/19 (along with everyone else). Final update came 3/15 via the portal. Email came hours later Emory: Decision rendered on 4/8, email followed a few hours later. I got a deposit…
…received any rejections. I chose not to ride any of the waitlists I was offered a spot on because I was extremely happy with my Alabama Law acceptance, and after visiting and attending Admitted Students Weekend, I knew it would be a great fit for me. Doing research on the schools I was accepted and waitlisted at by…
…know in my gut that without it I definitely would’ve been waitlisted. Not to fellate myself too much but I cooked on my personal statement. Specifically, my statement was focused on explaining the circumstances surrounding my low GPA and why my GPA isn’t a good indicator of the caliber of student I am. I also…
…I got into most of the schools I did this for, got waitlisted at a few, but rejected from zero.
You already know… GPAmaxxing. You can’t change it so don’t let it slip. I think being above at least one median helped me get on some of these waitlists. The optional statements, do them! You really have to. LSAT is most important but I felt as though my other attributes carried my application despite being 9 points…
If you are waitlisted at a school (and really want to get in), GO TOUR THAT SCHOOL AND KEEP SENDING LOCIs (without annoying them of course).

I used LSAT Lab…
…I could have maybe gotten into some schools where I was waitlisted and rejected. My top choices where I was accepted were Washington and Lee, Kansas, Wisconsin, Idaho, and Florida State. I ended up choosing the University of Wisconsin-Madison as they provided a full-ride scholarship to me, and Madison, WI, is a…
**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 would of better refined my essays I would not of gotten waitlisted but didn’t vibe with the school during previews and during research, just felt neutral. Expected the WL. UNT - Safety for Texas **Arkansas - Safety State ** Arkansas is beautiful and cheap law schools but limited placement outside of state.…
…any scholarships or write any LOCIs for the schools I was waitlisted at. Withdrew from WashU in late March - I interviewed in late Oct and was essentially ghosted. I had chosen a school already and elected to withdraw before receiving a decision.
