Sorry about your waitlist at Northeastern. We have a couple of the same schools, so I will keep an eye on your profile. Good luck with the rest of your cycle! PS: If you don't mind me asking, are you a URM?

In my opinion, waitlists are as good as denials. To be frank with you, I am unsure about their waitlist process.

Do you know any info about Northeastern? Did you apply to University of Utah School of Law? I applied there as well. We will stay in touch.

Congrats on waitlist at USF. I was waitlisted last year in March. I applied in October. I decided to stay on the waitlist. In August (the day of orientation day), they denied me. The committee told me that I had a good chance of attending there.

Why do we have to wait until mid March for a decision at Utah? I would not mind attending U of U. Is this school pretty lsat concentrated? Is your first choice Northeastern? Where would you ultimately like to go to law school?

Not staying on the waitlist at U of SF. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!

you have an excellent GPA. good luck on USF. it is one of my top choices. they are very selective for a school outside the top 100. i have yet to hear anything from them. i hope we can become classmates. you must be write a loci/addendum emphasizing that GPA, if you haven't already done so. GOOD LUCK

I really just tried to put as much of myself into my PS and Optional Essays. I talked about my motivation throughout UG and whatnot and tried to give them a sense of who I am. Best of luck to you!

Congrats on Vermont! I bet that first acceptance feels great! (I wouldn't know, though). Are you interested in environmental law?

Hi thanks for the congrats, and good luck to you! Once Utah sends me some info, I plan to withdraw, don't worry!

Do you think that you will be attending Vermont? I am staying on the waitlist at U of U. I am going to ride it out as well. Are you going to submit a deposit to Vermont? When is it due my friend?

WOW, congrats on the William & Mary waitlist! That's awesome! Hopefully you will be able to get in off of it! Good luck with the rest of your cycle!

No, I am pretty sure I will be attending BYU. Even if U of U and WM accepts me. Good luck with your cycle! I hope it turns out well for you!

Hey, I should not have been so blunt, but generally I prefer urban areas to rural areas. The school itself is pretty cool though and the students were very friendly to me. I wish you all the best!

Congrats to you as well. AU is prohibitively expensive. I am a fan of DC, but deep down I think I'm a Carolina boy. As of now, it's Wake for me unless UNC comes through with a last minute miracle.

Sure thing...I plan on going forward with a bunch of withdrawals this coming week. (To be honest, I haven't even filled out the W&M waitlist form.) Best of luck to you...W&M is truly gorgeous.

Hey I'm going to the ASD at Vermont too! Hit me up on facebook if you can, I joined the FB group on there and made a post on the front page, add me! -Jamie

Thanks. Right now, it looks like I'm heading off to Villanova. I'm going to be withdrawing from Northeastern, so best of luck sliding in off of the WL there.

I really liked VLS, I think I'll be going there in the fall. Unless by some miracle I get into UofO then I'll have a tough decision to make. But most my other schools are reaches anyway. VLS will be a drastic change in setting for me though (from Berkeley)! What did you think?

The tour was extremely basic (and a little unorganized) and we were not given an opportunity to mingle with the faculty. The guy that gave us a tour is a 2L who spent most of the time waving at his buddies. Overall, I'm sure the quality of education one will receive at UM would be outstanding. They have deep alumni connections and are in a prime spot to provide tons of quality exposure to different areas of law. While I'm confident that I would be able to excel academically, I don't think that the environment as a whole is geared towards my dynamic. Nonetheless (and this may be a little selfish on my part) I'm still going to return that card and ask that they keep me on the waitlist. We have family and housing already set up down there so should UM offer me a break on tuition, it may make more logistical sense for me to go there. I hope this helps!!

Hi, I notice you are waitlisted at Miami. I was placed on hold until finally I got in and that is where I will attend. I visited the school from California and spoke to the admissions director after taking a campus tour. I then write a letter of continued interest two weeks later and submitted an additional personal statement. Lol basically I bombarded them with correspondence so they knew I was really interested. I suggest doing the same to greatly increase your chances of getting off the waitlist. Our numbers are nearly identical and I'm confident Miami will take you. Good luck with the twilight stage of your cycle.

Looks like we will be attending together this Fall.
