Checking in!

Reverse splitter--and looks like I'm not alone!

No email though... and I got WL'd in early Feb.

Realized after I posted. got too excited.

[JamMasterJ]

there weren't any ED WL>As on LSN from 08-11. That doesn't necessarily mean that ppl didn't get in off the WL from ED though

[RopeisaJoke]

well dammit, it looks like I'm not getting in in the first round of WL admits

Unless the five LOCIs I've sent gave them the idea that I'm still quite interested and that an email asking this would be redundant.

Well, shit. I sent one + a transcript. In January. I wasn't planning on sending another until I graduated & started my internship so I had something new. And could remind them of their sad 3.94 GPA 75th.

Maybe our ED apps + LOCI(s) were enough to convince them already....

Do we know if receiving one of these emails is a necessary condition to get admitted (or even sufficient?)

from the WL thread last year, it looked like everyone that got in got the email. But there were several rounds over the course of the summer, so if you didn't get it Monday, you're not screwed yet

Is there hope for super splitters or should we just give up?

I don't remember your gpa, but I know there was a 177/3.5 in the first round last cycle. I'm guessing that if you're below a 3.4 then you're screwed, but otherwise, you still have a chance

Last year, at least two super splitters got in off the waitlist (mid May I think?) - czelede and eecs. Both had 3.2/177s.

[RopeisaJoke]

So is it only splitters that get off waitlists, with the reason being because the can boost medians? Does that mean those of us with both numbers at median have less of a chance?

no. I doubt they expect WL>admits to do anything more than preserve medians. If you can do that with both, then you're a very hot commodity.

I'm thinking of just withdrawing then. I'm 170, 3.4 and pasty with an ED WL so I'm probably lacking a prayer of getting in.

Yeah, under both medians is usually the death knell for waitlisters.

Death knell'd here.

+1

The sad part is in the time since I have been waitlisted I increased my LSAT score by 4 points and I still am under both medians.

I think you'll be OK

I'll survive frankly, it was kind of exciting just to be on the waitlist.

dude, you have absolutely smashed this cycle. I almost wouldn't be surprised to see you get into Chicago after everything you've done

Thanks it's been surreal. But I don't think I'm nearly rigorous enough for Chicago.

ETA: also, my big wins are coming from schools who have a history of valuing my one particularly big soft. Chi doesn't.

eh, well you are still here... they must like something

[WhiteGuy5]

What do we do beyond sending a LOCI to get that email? Send another one?

you mean the "we're about to review your app. are you still interested" email?

[rowingmyboat]

Just accepted off the waitlist! Super excited!
