Who knows though, the applicant pool may be a good bit smaller than last years, so your guess is as good as mine as to what the cutoffs will be this year. Probably nothing drastically different from last year.

Does anyone have visibility on how the number cut-offs differ for URMs?

Thanks

I'm sure Wake's admissions office does...

I doubt anyone on here could tell you precisely, but a quick glance at LSN over the past few years shows at least one URM with an LSAT of 151 (3.9+ gpa) receiving a scholarship. That being said, there are quite a few URMs with higher LSATs who were Accepted w/ no scholarship, waitlist or flat-out rejected. The cutoffs for URMs aren't as identifiable, and I would speculate that they make scholarship decisions for URMs more based on who they like most, who they feel brings the most diversity, etc...

Give it a few weeks at least, dude. I've been UR since 12/1!

Does anyone know if everyone change to letter pending at the same time if they are in that batch of decisions? As in, could mine change at some pt. today before the decisions come out?

God, I hope so! Anyone want to give them a call? I unfortunately don't have cell signal at work, otherwise I'd call.

I'm UR since 1/12 - later than most folks on here, but the decision letter status is at least promising! GL all.

YankeesFan · Post by **YankeesFan** » Tue Jan 18, 2011 2:49 pm

Anyone know if we get the email today or tomorrow?

judging from the last batch. probably tomorrow.

hurricane10 · Post by **hurricane10** » Tue Jan 18, 2011 2:57 pm

I think this is the first time anyone has gotten the status "decision letter pending." I was accepted in the first batch and everyone's date just changed on their status checker. The following day went to Congratulations along with an e-mail.. Maybe they changed how they are doing statuses.
