Lotta WL's. I've got a bad feeling about this week.

Still under evaluation.

NOOOO! I got waitlisted. 3.84,162

davis was my last hope.

Last hope for law school? No acceptable backups?

[bceagles182]

In this topsy turvy chaotic world of ours, at least I can always rely on being "evaluation in progress" at Davis.

+1

ugh

+25

He's really young. Only 19. At his age, he's still got plenty of time to

1. Party like it's 1999,

2. Get laid, and

3. Spend a few months on getting that 170


Once he's done steps 1-3, he can repeat steps 1 and 2 while he waits for replies from T14. No seriously!

Surprised he wasn't outright rejected because of age.

Srsly PunjabiLower, if this is true you will be FINE. I so regret not studying harder for the LSAT but I slap dashed it and paid the piper.

If you don't get into Davis on this try and get that LSAT up for a future law school attempt, you will be in far better shape than any of us are now.

[vijemi]

I am really shocked that I haven't been rejected yet, my #'s are much worse than the rest of you who are getting WL'd. Hopefully we'll all know what the decision is by the end of the week.

Yeah too bad I've taken the LSAT 3 times and will have to wait 2 more years to take it again. My folks aren't so happy about that. And there's no guarantee I'll actually raise my LSAT score. On top of that, my grades this year are horrible and will drop my gpa to about 3.69. I haven't send in my last year grades and I was really hoping not to. GAHHHH

[missinglink]

I know other people have suggested this in your other thread, but apply for some LSAT waivers. They're pretty easy to get. Start emailing schools that either rejected you or wait-listed you, tell them you would really like to attend next cycle, and explain your LSAT situation.

You have to decide, though, if you think you can really improve. Even a 165 would do you a world of difference. Did you give it your all when prepping last time? Did you practice and study nearly every LSAT question in existence? If not, then take it again. Plus, you'll be a bit older, which should help you with the schools that may have been reticent because of your age.

I know for me, I seriously underperformed on my LSAT, due to lack of sleep. I ended up with a 163 despite averaging 170 in prep, so I'm signed up for this June to deal with my Hastings WL and (expected) Davis WL. If it's too late, I'm confident I'll be able to pull a better score and reapply next year. Think about it, it's only one year, and where you go to school will make a difference for the many years after graduation. I wouldn't settle if you think you can do better.

If thou desireth the supple and loving embrace of a T-1 law school, then use thy power to turn these bummer circumstances into an epic triumph of mind over logical reasoning!

Nah seriously, it looks like you have a couple of years to mature and think about if law school is what you really want. If it is, maybe you should work with an LSAT tutor for a year or something cray cray. Good luck regardless.

I remember when, in my sweet, naive and youthful folly, I'd think thoughts like, "hopefully we'll all know what the decision is by the end of the week."

In time you too will come to harden your heart against those whimsical fantasies .

[lawschoolliberal]

Has anybody been pulled off any other waitlists from other schools?....I'm just curious as to the earliest when schools start to use them.....

Nice. Good stalking saves me the trouble of responding

[PunjabiLower]

When is the second deposit due by? Maybe there is a chance I'll get off the waitlist.

davis seems to use the waitlist a little more then other schools. also it seems like most are splitters and reverse splitters who get taken off the list. so as long as you can beat their median/75% in either LSAT or GPA you should have a good chance.

however they are not done giving out decisions are they? because we need to wait 2-3 weeks after the last decision to go out, before they start looking at waitlists. early june im guessing.

edit: i think its july 1st for the 2nd deposit which is pretty damn late...- found here: http://www.applyingtoschool.com/forms/U ... sions.aspx

[PunjabiLower]

3.84, 162 would be considered a reverse splitter?

[finalaspects]

3.84, 162 would be considered a reverse splitter?

yes. unless 162 is davis' median? being a splitter differs in each schools since in harvard 4.0/168 might be a splitter since 168 is so low to them.

[bceagles182]

Score Percentiles
Offers 25th 50th 75th
GPA 3.41 3.62 3.78
LSAT 162 164 167

http://www.law.ucdavis.edu/prospective/ ... ofile.html

Yes; 162, 3.82 would be a reverse splitter. 162 = 25th %, 3.82 > 75% at Davis; Personally, I'm at 25% for both so I'm screwed.

[uwb09]

30 minutes, hopefully davis can find it in their heart to officially put me out of my misery and end my cycle

[primusux]

good luck folks!
