I for real did not know Penn was a good school until coming to TLS, and for a longtime thereafter I still thought it was a public university. (am from Midwest)

On another note, what is TCR for a LOCI? Or does Harvard just want significant updates to resumes/grades/etc?

You're so sweet, Emma Watson! ^_^ this thread is where all the action is anyhow.

What do you all make of how the spreadsheet doesn't have a single URM?

Last cycle I couldn't find one URM who had been WL--->accepted on LSN or on the 2013 spreadsheet. Of course that data is incomplete, but it does seem like WL action isn't URM heavy for whatever reason.

You can take those scholarships and accept those schools and still stay on the WL. I think non-JS1 WLs are better off than JS1-->WL imo based on nothing but intuition.

I like your intuition.

I've heard that what you described (taking a scholarship and then still staying on the WL) is something sanctioned by some sort of agreement law schools are all privy to. Is this true or just unreliable hearsay? If so is there a link to be accessed?

It just seems a little suspect, since scholarship conditions seem mostly to require you to withdraw apps from elsewhere...

I think he/she a word.

Although there is one on the spreadsheet.

Read the terms carefully, but I think they say "withdraw from all schools to which you have been admitted."

This is at least what my Cornell scholly says.

Thank you both! I just double checked with letters and indeed they do say to withdraw from all programs to which I had been admitted. Sigh of relief. Probably good policy to disclose to a school if I do intend to send a deposit but stay on a waitlist though, right?

I don't think it matters, honestly.

No, I actually wouldn't do this.
