Final thoughts: Overall I took Emory’s binding offer instead of hoping to get off the waitlist. I hope my thoughts below can be of some help to future applicants. I had the hardest time deciding between UF and Emory, although keep in mind I never went back to UF for money. I didn’t have time to tour, and although…

Admitted to William & Mary Law School…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…
…In regards to Emory, I removed myself from the Waitlist (on the phone with an admissions counselor) yet a week later got a call from the head of admissions who offered me admission as well as a $120,000 scholarship. He had no knowledge of the conversation where I removed myself from the waitlist.
Waiting on waitlists
…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.

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…

For the record, I think this year will be a…
Making decisions is the hardest part Money off the waitlist is possible Apply to as broad a range of schools as you can afford/expend effort for
…to you. reverse splitters lemme hear ya! Got into GW off waitlist, but total COA would have been 100K more in loans than W&M which I was not comfortable with
…is to apply broadly; I was accepted below median at UT and waitlisted at median at Notre Dame. All it takes is one school.
…Georgetown: Interviewed mid October; Was on the regular waitlist; Applied to both FT/PT; Received a feeler March 26 about my interest in the PT program; Was released from the WL May 14; I think they didn’t have any more space specifically in the evening program George Washington: Received a pretty low scholarship…
