I solicited after the last wave and I was shot down with a brutal quickness.

Same here. The text on Columbia's email was so little I had to use a magnifying glass! Makes a guy feel real small.

Definitely agree with this. Nothing to do with admissions chances.

Just got a GULC waiver (solicited). Still nothing from Cornell, maybe I'll ask.

USC unsolicited. But I thought their app was free anyway? At least before December or something like that?

It is but I think it's there way of reminding you about them.

Solicited DVMNCorG

Received MV
all applicants get N

Numbers below 25% by at least a few points for all

Does waiver say anything about chances?

no they increase their selectivity by rejecting people they give waivers to

I have a LSAC waiver so I haven't solicited any waivers but I received between Monday and today:

(Stats) 161/3.75/First Gen/Non Traditional

Duke
Notre Dame
Georgetown
Columbia (Really surprised by this one)
USC
Emory
SUNY
Vanderbilt
UCLA
William & Mary
Michigan
Minnesota

I've gotten about 35 total. Really surprised by some of these. I don't think my LSAT is high enough. I will be retaking in December but yeah, random.

So I guess the waves are done? I'm missing NYU any chance theyll send one before the new year?

What's the status of Cornell guys? Are we still waiting for them or is everyone going ahead and pulling the trigger?

bhowton · Post by **bhowton** » Sun Nov 02, 2014 3:57 pm

Probably best to wait for Cornell, as some have said they have solicited and been told to wait for the wave. No news yet means it's likely coming.

Has anyone successfully solicited NYU?

Has anyone solicited Columbia? I'm above their median for GPA, but not LSAT score. Are they sending out waivers based on the LSAT?

I solicited and was told to wait for CRS, then got one based on CRS a few days later (when they sent out a wave of waivers to lots of people). In the email they were very explicit that the waiver was based off of LSAT performance only.

Cornell just came in via CRS (Sept LSAT).

liawy · Post by **liawy** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 12:30 pm

I just got unsolicited from Cornell so they're probably doing a wave today.

hillz · Post by **hillz** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 12:31 pm

Cornell unsolicited too

HRomanus · Post by **HRomanus** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 1:08 pm

Anyone else love how Cornell hid the fee waiver at the bottom of the email?

Tr3 · Post by **Tr3** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 1:22 pm

No Cornell love for me. Que triste.

Did you check for a hidden waiver? I didn't get the email, but I did get a hidden waiver.
