anyone get in off the waitlist who did NOT send an LOCI?

[Nobody]

I didn't. I basically didn't give the waitlist a second thought after everything I heard about the GPA floor (3.34 174). I wonder if all of this splitter action means they're doing more to massage their numbers to see if they can't knock down Georgetown.

Edit: In fact, I never even responded to the waitlist email. Dean Ingrahm made fun of me because I didn't know I was on the waitlist, but I just double checked and the waitlist email specifically says that you have to reply and opt-in. I got that email on February 3, by the way. How bizarre.

Thanks for the info! I think I was waitlisted around then as well. As a follow up question...did anyone get in off the waitlist who was not from Texas (i'm out of state)?

Oh my god.....oh my god.....also in off of the waitlist today. Just got the voicemail......WHY DIDN'T I ANSWER THE PHONE?!?!?!

I am in shock. Utter shock.

Why are they pulling from the waitlist so early?!?!

Yay!!!! I'm so happy for you! Your posts are always so positive and I was rooting for you when you got waitlisted. Does this mean we'll be classmates??

Thanks! : )

And yes, yes it does.

When is ASW?

Congrats! There is a special ASW for UT alums on March 9th. You should ask about that asap.

Thanks! I would definitely want to go to that!!

Is there an admitted students web site?

Good question! & Sorry I hate to be THAT girl but rough estimate of stats? Everyone a splintty?

So far it seems like everyone's a splitter.

Anybody know if there is any possibility that UT will offer scholarships to those pulled from the wait list?

My guess is no, due to the 168/3.6 threshold mentioned earlier. We'll see though. Does anyone have their admit packet yet?

People who have scholarships at peer schools can negotiate. Why didn't I apply to any of UT's peer schools?

Weird question. I withdrew from a ton of schools yesterday and almost everyone responded back asking where I was going. Do I have to tell them? I might wait until next week when I actually visit even though I'm 100% attending and will probably deposit while I'm visiting.

Emkay, there is an admitted students site, your UTEID is the password. Don't know if you remember it. But, the UT @ UT law event RSVP is not on there. It was a separate email that I'm sure you'll get. I would def. call them about it though just to be sure b/c I think the deadline to RSVP is the 1st, although you may get some extra time.

you absolutely do not have to tell them. it is nice of you to even withdraw this early.

/thanks for withdrawing this early to give the rest of us more of a shot of hearing back before 1L year starts:)

No admit packet yet here -- I'm impatiently awaiting its arrival so I can assure myself this is reality.

Thanks! I just wanted to make sure I wasn't breaking some sort of law school etiquette. I'm so excited to basically be done with this cycle so I figured I might as well withdraw from places I'm not attending.

I'm wondering what kind of offers I need from peer schools to negotiate for more mileage out of the standard Dean's Scholarship they offered...

The scholarship from a peer would need to exceed the cost of attendance at Texas in order to squeeze more $$ out

[emkay625]

We should plan a get together for the Thursday or Friday evening of ASW.

[emkay625]

Also, do scholarship offers come in the admit packet? Or in a separate letter later?

I am not anticipating getting one, just curious.
