Admitted to University of Washington…of money ($800) Things I’m glad I did! **Focus on only one Waitlist. **- this is purely personal, but once I got waitlisted in a million places, I only prioritized UW. I think one waitlist is enough stress for me, and so I didn’t attempt to get off anywhere else. Wait to submit your LOCI.- I took about 2 months to…
…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…
…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…
…They were straightforward about most admissions off the waitlist not happening until ~the second week of April. Sent LOCI on 3/8 Georgetown - Wrote Top 10 Books I read in 2023. Interviewed on 3/17, went about 10 minutes over time, received the “exceptional group” comment + dean andy’s personal email. sent a ‘thank…
…topic in my PS, which I think led to a lot of the waitlists and the SLS admit. All in all, I wouldn’t change things, but in the middle of February I was definitely regretting it.
i am the waitlist queen (◕︵◕) Good luck to everyone!!
reapplicant from last cycle. was waitlisted to 12 schools (ranked from penn to american), rejected to two (harvard and fordham), and accepted at lewis & clark with a small scholarship. after talking with current students in public interest they convinced me not to attend. i applied w same gpa but a 164 lsat. retook…
I decided to attend Emory because it gave me good BL chances at the best price point in a really good location(pending waitlists, but I don’t expect any bites from my LOCIs). If you want a T14 or even a T20 acceptance at a 3.6, you will need to aim higher than a 170. I would advise future applicants to retake 170s…
…employment can’t be made up with likely scholarship $. **Waitlists: ** **Northwestern **I withdrew. The cost would be too much and having to turn down an offer would hurt my soul. Pretty sure the WL was only because I applied ED with borderline R stats. **USC **Withdrew mid-may. They sent an email saying it was…
…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…
pro-tip; withdraw from waitlists before they can reject you
…key into why I had at least a little more acceptances or waitlists despite the times. Apply earlier when there are more seats available. Optional essays- for your safety schools it might not be necessary. But even with your target (and especially with reaches), take the time to do the research and write your Why…
