The decision making process is pretty stressful. Very relieved to have made a decision. Do/did others feel the relief once they make a decision?

YES. Not ashamed to admit (okay maybe a little ashamed) that I may or may not have cried when I made the deposit.

It just feels so nice to not have the uncertainty looming over my head anymore and have some concrete plans.

Yes, I felt, and have continued to feel, very relieved once I made that first deposit and sent in my signed scholarship. It's a pretty sweet feeling considering the stress and work necessary to get to this point. But it's just the tip of the iceberg! Still a lot of work ahead.

Even when I do make a deposit, all the WLs looming still make me uncertain if where I deposited will be the absolute final destination for me. I'm not sure if any of you are in the same boat.

Not in the same boat bc for me, a waitlist would be a rejection to me. I only was considering schools that I got $$$ and you aren't going to get $$$ off a waitlist

I hope it gives me some relief when I finally make that decision.

what did you end up deciding?

You guys should feel very relieved. This will probably be the most stressful event of your lives for at least 10 years or so! Congrats!

Taking the full- no stip- Scholly at Villanova. Found good housing and have good summer employment lined up. Will hopefully be able to save enough to take out anywhere from 2.5k or less my first year for CoL in loans.

That's not true. People get money from waitlists.

Would not have been enough for me, when i say $$$ (3 dollar signs) I'm talking 75% tuition at least

Probably less likely, but still possible to get big scholarships. Spivey had a client that was waitlisted at UChi, then got a ruby.

"A" client, crazy things can happen but not expected

With all due respect that's the same anecdotal shit of a third tier toilet grad getting cravath. It's meaningless and should be ignored.

Statistically, I wouldn't expect money off the waitlist. I guess it could happen. Retakes may be the best way to make that a reality.

LOL

Stress wise it's all downhill from here

It's definitely not that uncommon (for a full ride, yes much more so). But you can also look at LSN and see people getting decent money off the waitlists at Duke for example. Also, there's not really a con to staying on the waitlist anyway.

Maybe it isn't $$$ but I got 60K off the wait list at UVA which is decent-ish. I think some people who had been wait listed eventually got fullys at WUSTL my cycle. I agree, money off the wait list isn't that uncommon

LOL deciding where to go to law school is the easy part
