Admitted to Vanderbilt University…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.

My friends with similar backgrounds, gpa, and higher lsat scores get rejected or waitlisted after applying in January rather than October/November. As long as your score isn’t horrendous, apply with the score you have instead of waiting…
