…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 Wake Forest University…(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…
The cycle of waitlists!!!! I will be riding the waitlist at 4 schools (BU, Fordham, UNC, and Georgetown). OSU has ghosted me so I believe it will most likely be R or WL as well.
…Don’t get me wrong; I was super proud of myself for being waitlisted at top schools with a 145. However, I think I was a bit unrealistic, but it worked out, so do what you want with that information. **Decision Process: ** I walked away from a dean fellowship and full ride from Penn State for Wake Forest at the very…
…ago someone with my stats would have an okay shot at it. Waitlisted at Penn: dead inside Changed Duke to ED2 on 1/5 because it’s my life and paying some extra money for a lifelong income and prestige multiplier is worth it for me. Hopefully, I get in. I saw one person on Reddit get in ED with 170, 3.5 so it gives me…
…I wrote every optional essay that I could, and I got waitlisted from every school for which I did not write a “Why [school]” essay (that was offered). If your reason for applying isn’t abundantly clear, write that essay if it is an option. Applying early matters at some schools and not at all at others. My results…
waitlist karma is real
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).
…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…
…your life on hold while you wait. Decisions, rejections, waitlists, and holds will happen whether you stare at your inbox or not. And law school is right around the corner…save your worries for then!
Shoot your shot and APPLY EARLY because timing matters (especially for $$)!!! 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…

Apply early! I think I got some waitlists that I would not have gotten had I not applied early September, given my stats. Also, get started early! Having everything ready to go before applications even opened reduced my stress a lot throughout the process. I ultimately ended up choosing Emory because of the job…
TLDR: reapplicant (check @mindlesswirygoblin), got off wake’s waitlist by writing the worlds most unhinged letters of continuing interest, ultimately picked tulane because I’d come out debt free and be able to live comfortably hey there! hopefully this year is better than last! i decided to retake the LSAT after…
