To answer my own question: In recent years, the lowest number of waitlist offers was 8, the high was 83, and the average is 37 - According to the FAQs, the waitlist is keep small enough so that the admissions staff can get to know each student personally. Looks like a visit to Ann Arbor might be in order...

Right there with you. I got NYU, but other than that this cycle hasn't been what I hoped. I'm thrilled to have that one, but the cycle hasn't met the expectations mylsn brought.

It's a weird cycle. I've been waitlisted at 29%, 67%, and 80% chance schools (mylsn) and accepted at 13% and 14% schools.

You have a 180 on the LSAT right? What were the 13% and 14% schools you got into?

edit: didn't realize it was in your profile. That is quite an amazing cycle! I wonder what your scholarships will end up being.

Also waitlisted today. 25<GPA>50 50<LSAT>75 so I felt like Michigan was a bit of a reach anyways.

Waitlisted via email. GPA < 25 LSAT > 75. This is an ugly cycle for splitters.

Do you mean in general, or more specifically for Michigan?
In general. I don't have hard numbers but the impression I'm getting is that lots of splitters with numbers that should be admits based on LSN are getting rejected and/or waitlisted, especially from the middle of the t14.

Did y'all get the WL email at the same time or is it a trickle? Wondering whether I've survived.
