Waitlisted via email earlier this afternoon. 163, 3.92, OOS, working 15+ years, submitted late Nov. This was a reach school for me, and I'm actually pleasantly surprised I was waitlisted instead of flat-out rejected. Pretty sure I'll be going to school here in FL anyway.

Man, LSP had me at >95% admit. My WL makes me feel like a turkey for the first time in my cycle.

Waitlisted. Too bad I already decided on BC, which will be higher-ranked than BU in a few years again and is MUCH higher ranked as a university in general.

Haha. I'm not mad, I just hate waitlist e-mails, it sounds like you're getting dumped. "We don't want to do anything right now, but we can keep in contact, and down the road...who knows?"

Today was a crushing blow to just about everyone that hopes to go to BU. It seems that even those with the numbers are getting WL, which can only mean the class is full. Sucks to be me, not even reviewed yet awaiting the inevitable ding


Edit: it is as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced

It's a waitlist massacre today (and the first weekday since the 241st anniversary of the Boston Massacre... coincidence or intentional?)

Well, I went in to today thinking I had a 20% chance of getting outright accepted, 50% chance of a WL, and 30% of being denied.

After today, I've revised those expectations. 3% acceptance, 37% WL, 60% Deny, and I might be giving myself too great a chance.

I know they are reducing class size this year. Maybe that explains some of the strange WL/Rejects.

Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.

Waitlisted. 166/3.75. Sucks to be waitlisted, but was leaning elsewhere anyways.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
