Waitlisted at my favorite school yesterday then I got waitlisted at two schools I thought I was going to get into, I'm so furious. LSAC predictor gave me a 19-36% for the first school so it was understandable but the two schools I got waitlisted into today had a prediction of 42-72% and 78-88%. Gah!!!!!
Alright, so I've decided to stay on the waitlist for all of them, how long should I wait before sending in a letter of continued interest?

Why wait at all?

I have heard both ways - to send as soon as possible to know you're still interested but it may seem too eager OR to send a week or two later so that there's been time between the time they finished reviewing and decided on your application the first time and then the second when they look at it after sending them the LOCI.

Reply immediately. Then send a detailed LOCI a week or two later.

Yeah send it as soon as it is ready.
Also: never use law school predictor and expect anything of value.

YES. I used the law school predictor. While it was a good start-off for ideas of where to apply, it did not help me during my cycle.
