I'm holding off on housing as long as possible, but once I sign a lease, then its over for me. So if I haven't heard back from a waitlist yet, I'll withdraw.

This right here is the biggest waitlist-related headache of all. I'm waiting to see how the first couple weeks of May go and proceeding from there. How much does breaking a lease cost, I wonder...tncats wrote:Are y'all waiting to sign leases until you hear back from waitlists?
Oh, that's great. It was smart to think of a backup plan unless this didn't work out. Hopefully you get off the waitlists for the schools at the top of your list.haley12 wrote:It's ok!

As an initial decision? No. WL ---> Acceptances? I have high hopes for the next couple weeks. The only conclusive initial decision I got was a rejection from Berkeley.nickles96 wrote:You have not received a single acceptance from anywhere?Nightwing wrote: Literally no straight-up acceptances this cycle and yes, those are 3 T6 WLs alongside 3 non-T13 ones.

I signed my lease already.* Found a deal that fell in my lap in record time I just couldn't pass up. If Penn decides they actually do love me, I'm gonna talk to my landlord about subleasing.tncats wrote:Are y'all waiting to sign leases until you hear back from waitlists?

I grow even more confident. Also, each admitted applicant can only go to one school this cycle, or so I have been lead to believe Just wait for the waves.mangomochi wrote:Now that NYU has finally decided to get back to me, officially reporting I'm riding WL for Columbia, NYU, Michigan, and GULC.

This is a good question; my guess is that most of the time it depends on the school's need (more URMs, higher GPAs, better LSATs, etc).StopLawying wrote:When adcoms evaluate waitlisted applicants do they review our entire application (PS,why x, LORs, etc) or do they only look at our numbers and LOCIs?

Oh my. I thought Nightwing and I had the worst, but I guess you beat both of us in this regard. Are you also a splitter?FEDRESRV wrote:I received my final "initial" decision from NYU yesterday. Final tally is 13 WL/Holds. 9 of the T-13 + Texas, G-Town, Vandy and WUSTL. I will likely withdraw from two of the thirteen and ride out the rest. I have a feeling we are going to see some major movement in this thread over the next month.
I guess it comes down to whether you are willing to pay sticker at the relevant schools. However, I am a little scared that if I don't ride out the waitlists, it would reflect horribly on me when I re-apply next cycle. What am I going to tell the school when I write my Why X? "Hello! I wanted to attend, but not enough to wait till the summer."haley12 wrote:Wondering about this too. Super splitter with December apps... and 10 WLs.fips tedora wrote:Looks like you should.

I was wondering the same thing... Plus, does anybody know if alumni emails endorsing one's application might be effective? I've heard stories of people getting pulled off the WL after some pretty influential alums sent emails (not LORs though, just regular emails) stating how wonderful said applicant is. Can anybody confirm?chichi1992 wrote:Does anyone have any sense (even if it's anecdotal bullshit) about the % of waitlisted applicants that actually write LOCIs/visit/demonstrate genuine enthusiasm? I feel like in the TLS bubble, it's obvious to everyone that these are more or less necessary steps, but maybe it's not as ubiquitous as it seems.
I'm mostly just curious about the schools that seem to admit a LOT of students off the waitlist (looking at you, NYU). They might admit 30-45% of applicants who remain on the waitlist, but what if a solid 50% of all applicants who remain on the waitlist do nothing else other than say "yes, I still want to be considered"?
Now there's a charge.
