…disappeared on the status checker Thursday, and I wasn’t waitlisted on Friday), so it wasn’t a total shock, but it was still a great way to finish my day of classes. Dean Andy left me a 17 second video message congratulating me by name. I know he does that for everyone he admits, but its a nice touch :) Scholarship…

Admitted to University of Texas at Austin…amount to $40,000/yr. 01/04/2023 University of Alabama - WAITLISTED,* *WITHDRAWN On 01/04/2023, I was waitlisted.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…
…I did. George Washington: Jan. 12, ACCEPTED- Receiving a waitlist offer from GW was rough, especially because it wasn’t a top school on my list. I wonder if it was partially because I rejected their offer for undergrad. UC Berkeley: Jan. 17, ACCEPTED - Getting an A from Berkeley was completely unexpected! My first…

…available. Take a year and reapply. Based on the 10+ waitlists I have been on, waitlists are the same as R’s. This is not just a numbers game. Written materials matter more than you would think, so take the time to do it right. Know your worth. It is not found in these institutions.
Reapplicant from the ’20-21 cycle, waitlisted or rejected at every school I applied to. Reapplying to the same schools, plus added Stanford, Columbia, Chicago, NYU, and Penn to shoot my shot with a new and improved LSAT score.

when the chile is tea but the finna is gag sis i’m dead as a chile below is what happens when you apply late aka in a frenzy late-January to early February (waitlists lol)… if you’re in the same boat as me, make sure you apply widely. UT was kind of spur of the moment based on my Feb LSAT result and it’s where I’m…
…to that, think about cutting it out. Decisions Getting waitlisted or rejected sucks, but it can be a blessing. It’s easy to get caught up about getting into* *every school, but in the end you’re only choosing one. Even the most perfect applicants still get denied from schools, so don’t take it personally or beat…
…I got into most of the schools I did this for, got waitlisted at a few, but rejected from zero.
…the places where I feel I “underperformed” my stats was my waitlist at Penn, and it was the only school where I was given space to write an optional (Core Values) and I chose not to do so. Special plug for NYU app: please look through their optional scholarship essays! They don’t give out as much aid generally but…
All my homies hate the waitlist.
…write locis!! i wrote locis for most of the schools i was waitlisted at and i’m confident it helped me get off the cornell reserve list
Write the optional essays, eat well, don’t stress. Things will work out. Don’t apply during a pandemic. The waitlists are pain. Also, don’t be stupid like me and wait two years after taking the LSAT to apply. I got burned by the COVID LSAT median jumps with my pre-COVID score.
…activities that aren’t academic! Write LOCIs when waitlisted if you are serious about attending a school. Wishing you the best of luck! Everything will fall into place. You got this.
…LSAT score met or exceeded the median, and was rejected or waitlisted at those where I fell short. I truly believe the scores get your foot in the door and your essays are what separate you from other applicants. Ultimately, my decision came down to UCLA, Michigan, Duke, and Virginia. I loved all four of their…

Rooting for you :) Dates: Stanford: DLS in portal on 5-7-24- Penn: UR3 on 1-22-24 –> Waitlist Decision on 1-30-24 GW: Priority hold on 2-15-24 Miscellaneous pieces of advice: Only write a “Why X” if you have something real to say, not just listing off the…
