I think it because of their emphasis on yield and perhaps they think I'm overqualified. Regardless, I was actually interested in both schools and this whole WL thing is a pain in the butt (I mean I interviewed with Harvard for crying out loud!)

174 LSAT and 3.89 GPA

Exact same situation, but higher Gpa and lower lsat. Priority WL at Duke after after applying PT and now WL at Michigan. I'm still waiting on a ton of schools and hopefully a js2 and I thought this was a terrible omen but after seeing the post here, I feel a bit better.

I'm sure she does this for everyone, but that's ok I still feel special.

She didn't write anything on mine.

That's so sad. All they did was give you a Darrow? No note? I'm so sorry.

Congratulations on getting in. But to everyone else who was just waitlisted, I think you can see that they probably have a reduced expectation of the students they can pull.

Well, all the schools YP.. which is probably what is happening for those that got WL'd with high numbers at Michigan as well. Your comment about reduced expectations is NOT warranted. For example, both Berkeley and UPenn took folks that were well below their LSAT medians -- and WL's many others that were above 75th percentiles.
