Yield Protection (Wait-list) Forum

[Heyy_Y'all]

Okay. So, I was wait-listed at a school where my numbers are above the 75th percentile. Yes, I applied to more competitive schools, but I had every intention of attending the unnamed school. That said, I'm trying to avoid paying a seat deposit at one of the other schools and missing the admitted students day at the unnamed school. Is it rude to highlight my numbers in my LOCI? How should I approach this?

If you have to remind them of your score, you can say something like "your school has been my first choice from the start, and I did my very best to make sure I scored in or above your 75% to increase my chances of getting in. I remain highly interested in attending your law school in fall 2018, and I will be happy to provide you with any additional information you might need."
Call them and ask whether they have a priority wait list and what your chances of being offered admission are.
They should know they are not a "safe" school for you and that you actually want to enroll.

I love the way you worded this. You're a rockstar! Thanks
