Did you go under review 3/6? Were you deferred from EA?

I was just placed on "reserve" :shock:

Was deferred on 12/14, no change in my status checker, and had the decision emailed to me today! I'm definitely riding this one out...

Btw, other than a LOCI and an additional recommendations (which I did after my deferment) what else can I do to increase my chances?

So, exactly how many people do they take off this waitlist?

The 1L class in tiny, isn't it?

I wish I could claim one of those was true. No interview requested. Only took LSAT once. No Criminal record. Is this a potential case of YP?

what are you talking about. 169 4.0 is above both 75th for cornell. it should have been a lock. only other applicant ive seen with similar numbers get reserved was r6 and cornell hates him for some reason.

loook at lsn. almost everyone above boh 75th got in

At least 1 person who went UR 4/06 got a decision today. It seems a tiny bit odd that some of us should get UR 4/07 while others got UR 4/06.

Wonder if those of us UR 4/07 will hear back tomorrow?

There's a smattering of scores in that range being waitlisted. It's certainly not a yield-protect, is my point.

It's not a "smattering". There are a few but do you see many? No. It's almost all greens.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
