Lol, thanks for the vote of confidence. I have emailed with them (probably too much >_>) so they're definitely aware of my presence.doobleykah wrote:You should call.

Guys. We've been looking at this all wrong. It's not a bad thing, it's an award. "Congratulations. You've been waiting a long time. Welcome to the waitlist"...Kinda like the "Dean's List"...guys...?WhiteHouse wrote:Got the waitlist after 6 months of waiting. I don't know if thats irony or what, but I guess I'm happy

Sorry they didn't appreciate your expertise in bird law.

Same boat- but you have better stats.. So weird .. But crossing my fingers for ya! (And myselfSamuelDanforth wrote:Went from UR1 to UR2 so quickly in mid-Jan. Zero movement since. 50th<GPA<75th, 75th<LSAT. Wrote a Why UVA. Bummer too, as I really liked so much about UVA. I remember reading, maybe on Spivey, that last year they handed out lots of Dillard's and yield was rather high. So that, combined with the uptick in LSAT scores, has likely made for a harsh cycle. Who knows though! Still hoping something comes through.
