I just got my 10th waitlist, courtesy of UPenn.

Duke, Cornell, UPenn, Chicago, UVA, Michigan, Northwestern, Vanderbilt, UCLA, Georgetown


I'm trying my best just to stay numb to everything now. Anyone else in the double digit camp? I'm still trying to wrap my head around this. No acceptances.

I think you're going to be okay. If memory serves me well, you have a high LSAT and lower GPA right? The dearth of high LSATs this cycle will mean you'll be highly coveted during the summer when schools are desperate to hit their medians and they have a better idea of what their classes will look like.

Yeah, I'm a traditional splitter (but nothing really extreme). The thing about my LSAT that really irks me is that my chances at some of these schools seems worse than they would be if I scored lower (according to MyLSN). Like UPenn. They seem drastically more hostile to people with my GPA range this cycle once the LSAT scores goes over 170. Like they're afraid that NYU and/or Columbia are going to take me instead, except I don't think those two want me either and I'm actually not obsessed with T13 rankings enough to inherently care about CCN more than Penn or most of the rest of the mid to lower half of the T13 for that matter.

I just want to celebrate an acceptance, visit some ASD/ASWs, find an apartment, and relax a bit before 1L. Instead, I'm frantically trying to figure out what to send in LOCIs, whether I can afford to visit and show interest to a school that waitlisted me (instead of a more relaxed summer vacation), and which school I should send the "top choice" LOCI claim to. To think of how long I've been anxiously waiting for initial decisions only to find out the waiting has barely even begun and requires even more strenuous application activity than the initial applications; beyond frustrating, I can't plan my life like this.

Can add a third 3/4 Three is incidentally also the number of T1 schools that have got back to me so far. W&M, W&L, now UNC, have yet to hear back from the other. In at a T2 (UTK) but ehh not sure I'll do that.

If you can swing it, I recommend you to hire Spivey consulting. Best of luck.

I got waitlisted at Vandy with over 170. Although I didn't show much interest, so they probably figured that they weren't at the top of my list.

I feel your pain! You're not alone with that shitty feeling. I have 0 acceptances and 3 waitlists. I've written so many LOCI's, send LORs, went on visits, sent updates transcripts, etc. etc. etc. It's become an addition to my second semester of senior year work and not knowing wtf I'm doing in the fall (school or a year off) is really killing me... especially since I applied back in November too. Been waiting a lonnnngggg time. Hang in there. I think the odds are in your favor.

I'm planning on sending my second LOCI to UVA. I was waitlisted in Feb, and sent on in March. Is that too much or should I wait until the end of the month? I know they will start pulling people off their waitlist in early May.

Based off of what I've read, once a month is perfectly fine, as long as you actually have something to say. I'd wait if I were you to send it around the seat deposit deadline.

[SybillAnnDorsett]

Has anyone used Spivey for WL help? If so, I'd appreciate a PM would love to hear how it works.

I'm sure there's a thread somewhere about it, right?
