Waitlist Activity Thread
Now that we are in April and already have a Waitlist/Withdraw thread, I thought it would be good to start a Waitlist Activity thread for those of us who are clinging on to waitlists and trying to stay hopeful! Whether your going to law school next fall depends on getting off of a waitlist (my case), or you are happy with where you have been accepted but still hoping for better, feel free to post.
Start off by listing the waitlists you are staying on enthusiastically, those you are staying on a bit less enthusiastically, and those you are withdrawing from... Then, as we get closer to when schools actually start to use their WLs, let fellow TLS WLers know if you have gotten a spot off of the WL, how long you have to accept the spot, what you think helped you attain the spot, etc.

Re: Waitlist Activity Thread
I'm sitting on wait lists at Emory, Wisconsin, Pepperdine, Arizona, and potentially Loyola. It's not fun!

Re: Waitlist Activity Thread
here's an attempt to get the ball rolling--
Staying on enthusiastically!: Georgetown, UVA, USC, UCLA, Duke, Penn, NYU (if by some miracle I am WL instead of rejected)
Staying on but iffy: GW (not first choice but > BU), Columbia (impossible to get off)
Withdrawing: UT

out of curiosity did you ED anywhere?
Enthusiastic = Fordham
Staying on but iffy = GW
(Still awaiting on BC - threw them a late app, expecting WL/reject)

Damn, I think you definitely would have snagged UVa/GT/Penn with an ED app. But you should be confident that you can get one of those T14 WL's! USC/UCLA are obviously great options for southern cal practice as well. What's your top choice?

Yeah, I really really regret having waited so long. I would love to end up in southern cal, so UCLA is definitely up there, but other than that my top choices are Penn/UVA (/NYU if I get WLed). but don't get me wrong, I would be pumped to get off of ANY of these WLs.
Best of luck getting off the Fordham WL!

Re: Waitlist Activity Thread
I was WL at a lot of schools. I don't really know which ones I want to stay on though. Oh well here it goes:
Columbia (probably not going to happen, really hard to get off the "reserve group") not enthusiastic about this one at all
Chicago (prob withdrawing)
Penn ?
UVA ?
Northwestern (probably withdrawing)
WUSTL (wihdrawing soon)
I guess mainly Penn and UVA and of course HLS and SLS if they waitlist me

Re: Waitlist Activity Thread
Enthusiastically: U of Richmond (dear god please let me in!!!!) obv. my first choice, William and Mary
Iffy: American (they want you to pay a 900 dollar deposit in 24 hours if they take you off the wait list), Washington and Lee, George Mason
The only schools I got into straight off were tier II so any of these schools would be a vast improvement but I am hoping, praying, and keeping my fingers double crossed for U of R

Hoping I don't have to add UC Davis and USC to this list (or be outright rejected).

Withdrew from GW last night

And our numbers are pretty similiar, so you may have a chance. Although, it should be noted that I got no scholarship from them.
