We have similar numbers, hopefully acceptances across the board.

Congrats on the two that you have in the bag and good luck with the rest of your cycle! You're going to do awesome! Happy New Year!

Yeah I guess my top choice would be Northwestern but I think that's a serious stretch for me. Otherwise I really like George Washington...it looks to me like you've got a great shot at Colorado based on your numbers. I'll be sure to keep my fingers crossed for you! What's your main interest in Colorado?

I heard by regular mail but I applied EA so I wouldn't get nervous just yet. Is ASU your first choice? Good luck!

Well another Utah person getting hosed by the U? I'm not entirely sure what they're up to over there. Perhaps the U is attempting to Yield Protect?

I don't get what Utah is doing. I don't know why they would suddenly have received tons of high numbered applicants to push us to the waitlist. If this is yield protect then they are stupid. I would have probably gone there if they offered just a little bit of money. But obviously they don't even want to offer me a spot in the class let alone money. My wife works in SLC and I'd love to have remained living here but it doesn't look like it will be the case. Better luck to you.

One of the factors counted into the almighty USNews rankings formula is your yield rate, or, how many students actually attend of the number you have accepted. So, say a school has 150 slots, they still accept 600 students knowing most will end up choosing another school. If you have a high yield rate like 50%, then that means you only have to accept 300 to fill the 150 slots. So, if you have a high yield rate then it helps you in the rankings formula. If you go look at some smaller, lower ranked schools, they will reject kids with super high gpas and super high LSATs since they figure they won't attend anyways since they'll probably get offers from Harvard or something. It seems to happen, but if this is what Utah is doing then it's lame because our numbers aren't way beyond their regular range. If you really want to stay in state, then write a Letter of Continued Interest to the U telling them how they are your number one choice. Maybe they are waitlisting people with higher numbers to gauge their real interest in attending? Who knows, in any case, I doubt they are suddenly accepting 167s and above. I think you stand a great shot at getting off the waitlist if you send a good letter of continued interest and try to get another letter of recommendation.

Yield Protection at it's finest...

you know it's me! did you get your letter off today? judas priest i hate waiting for this crap.

check it, i marked myself as a URM because my skin color obviously affects my intelligence as does whether i have a weiner or not. Impeccible logic coming from the institutions claimed to be based on logical analysis!

why aren't you on the BYU list? i keep looking for you but you're never on there. can't wait to get waitlisted!!

ASU is a great school and could set you up well for jobs after. I have only been to Tempe once but it was AWESOME! If the U doesn't work out atleast you'll have a great option.

No I haven\'t really made a decision yet and yes, it\'s driving me crazy. If BYU lets me in then it will be almost impossible for me to say no. 28k for 3 years tuition vs. 28k for 1 year tuition speaks volumes. If not then I\'ll be at ASU and I\'ll be happy there. I\'d really like to go there but without better fin aid it\'ll be hard.

Congrats on getting off the waitlist, I\'ll look forward to meeting you this fall.

Congrats on the U! Have a nice summer; see you soon.
