…Go Cougars! University of Texas at Austin - Result: Waitlist. January 23, 2026 I was not expecting to hear from Texas this soon, and definitely not at 5:00 pm on a Friday of a fairly slow decision week. Nonetheless, this result was not much of a surprise for me. UT Austin was always my “hail Mary” school, and I knew…
…and journey to law school), and received word of the waitlist decision on 3/13. I sent a pre-decision LOCI on 2/24. Only one application remains, and I can’t see myself attending even if I received a full scholarship, so…I guess this means my cycle is over? March 12, 2026: WL @ Wisconsin Lol. That’s really all I can…
…amount to $40,000/yr. 01/04/2023 University of Alabama - WAITLISTED,* *WITHDRAWN On 01/04/2023, I was waitlisted.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…
…second Harvard R wave. Very happy, but also anticipating a waitlist. February 6: Columbia Hold. This definitely hurt––at the risk of sounding overconfident, I thought I had a solid shot at a Columbia acceptance. I understand that a hold is not a decision, but it’s tempting to just take it as a bad sign and withdraw…
…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…

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…
…I withdrew immediately from every school where I was waitlisted after I had been accepted to HLS. Reflections Above all, know your why and why now. This process, from the LSAT through the essays, submitting applications, and waiting for results, will consume every ounce of your mental energy and at times make you…
…it confirms that I have a shot a target schools). I got a waitlist at one target early on and missed the first several A-waves from other targets. This was a stressful experience; I kept reminding myself, “they still didn’t say no.” **Sending Applications: **I made mistakes that I regret. Mostly, I sent applications…
…gotten in earlier in the cycle. DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED BY WAITLISTS!!! When I was getting waitlisted at all my target schools and some reach schools, I did not believe I was going to get off. I perceived them as rejections, but that is definitely not the case. I got off four waitlists, and it was done through…
…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…
…Long time, no see, friends! Not much has changed. I got waitlisted from Northwestern which I am honestly very, very happy with. What that signals to me, at least, is that my application package as a whole is at the level that it is very difficult to say no to me. Or that’s how I’m going to take it. Given my GPA, I…
