For those that were waitlisted, did you apply ED or RD? I saw on LSN that some who applied ED were waitlisted, but thought RD waitlists don't start until January

[rska884]

Wait listed.

+1 got the email this morning

It's a bummer. But yeah, I kind of sensed that it was coming.

When did you guys apply and what're your numbers, if you don't mind me asking? I had an interview over a month ago and have been UR just as long, so I'm assuming I got rejected until I hear otherwise at this point...

I'll PM you exact numbers as I'm starting to get concerned about having too much info out there. But I applied mid-November and I was a splitter, GPA<25 and LSAT>75.

To those who are WL, did you apply RD or ED? And did you do an interview?

Nice! When did you go complete?

I haven't interviewed yet, but I always like to have a few random anecdotes ready in case of relevancy.

Just had mine. It was super pleasant. Q's about PS, Resume, why law, why UVA, "Any final thing you would like to share with the committee?"

Can't remember when I went complete, but I've been UR since mid-november, and I had a date change after that

Noone does . "Listen id love to sit here and tell you about how my (insert buzzword) and (insert buzzword) are a perfect fit for the university, but I think you already know that. Or you wouldn't be calling me would ya? All i can say is that (insert a few more choice buzzwords) because (buzzword) is about the only (buzzword) worth (buzzwording).

Seriously though, don't sweat it. I smiled like an idiot practically the entire time and I still walked away with positive feelings.

I literally said like 5 words to that question and then followed it with "But I think my application conveys that pretty well already" and Grace said "I think you're right" and I was admitted by phone call like 20 minutes later.
Don't sweat that Q.

Dang, that's a fast turnaround!! I'm excited now

[benwyatt]

I wouldn't take my turnaround to be typical.
I applied on the first day and was accepted 14.5 hours later.

Poor Grace is going to wonder why suddenly every single interviewer ends with "But I think my application conveys that pretty well already" for the next three weeks.

Also, for those yet to interview, keep in mind that at this point in the cycle you may be admitted without ever receiving a call. If you don't hear back shortly after, don't freak out just yet. Just monitor your status checker/email.

+1. I never got a phone call, just status checker update and package in the mail a week or so later

I will try to calm my unrealistic hopes and not start a 20-minute timer after the interview

I'm international (assuming that plays in somehow), never got an email or call, literally just a status checker change which I would never have seen if I didn't check them 5000 times a day.

I don't think it's atypical. I'm not international, but was admitted via status checker back in November. No e-mail or call, but received the package a few days later. Seems like calls were more common earlier in the cycle, since there was a lower volume of decisions being made.
