I don't believe name has anything to do with it. However, you never know. lol
I was one of the earlier ones admitted with an early status change. Last initial L.
Also, FWIW, acceptance letter arrived in the mail today (Dated 4/21)

Not to ruin your hope or anything but my last name is near the beginning (H) and a friend of mine is in the top 10 also and he is on hold.... I think they are basing their decisions on increasing their LSAT average (based on the reported stats of those admitted)

i don't think name or LSAT score makes sense. my name is also in the first ten letters and my lsat score is higher than many people who have been accepted. LSAT x GPA combo won't make sense either.

I think my numbers are higher than a few that got accepted already too, if I remember correctly. 156/3.4

I hope we all get in and all attend so we can meet this fall over drinks and laugh about how neurotic we've been through this cycle!

In off wait list, or in off being held? If the former, I'm pretty sure you just made a few people's heads explode.

Got an email about a change in my application status. I was waitlisted in early March. The email directed me to check my CANEID Status, when I entered in my information--It told me I was admitted and gave me information about visiting and deposits.. first deposit is due on May 5th. Sorry, Excitement was to blame for my brevity.

Sorry to deliver to the news to the people who are still waiting to hear back. UMiami is now pulling from the waitlist.

Sorry to be redundant. Were you waitlisted in march or did you receive a letter saying your file was on hold? Everyone on here waiting to here back has been in the hold category which is a little different than the waitlist

thanks a lot for your help

stats?

If this is from the waitlist what does that mean for those of us still on hold? From what tls has said, hold is better than waitlist. So know I am more confused!!!!

I think its the opposite. I think they're filling out the GPA right now.

I got a similar email in March telling me to check my CANEID status. Both emails did not offer specifics, but just directed me towards CANEID to see changes in my application status.

In March, my CANEID Status notified me of being waitlisted.

Today, my CANEID Status notified me of being accepted.

Rescinding statement, lol

Perhaps, goflmarlins is right. They're looking for LSAT
