That would make sense in my case. Except aren't they not supposed to?

I'm pretty sure I read they do. It wouldn't be good for them to do so because US News looks only at the highest score when ranking. In other news decision 1/20 -- Got waitlisted today, no Why ND

This is from their admissions page:

Additional LSAT Information
LSAT scores are valid for 5 years.
The February LSAT is the last test considered in the application cycle.
All LSAT scores within a 5-year period are considered; however, the most recent score or the highest score may be given more focus.

1/20 waitlisted

JoeMo · Post by **JoeMo** » Mon Jan 23, 2012 9:27 pm

I don't think I've seen any 1/20 admits thus I think I'm due a WL or Ding.

JoeMo · Post by **JoeMo** » Mon Jan 23, 2012 10:04 pm

1/20 Decision made, came to my mom's house, waitlisted. Don't care enough to send LOCI.

1/20. Got the waitlist today via snail mail. I'll probably be withdrawing. GL to everyone else.

JoeMo · Post by **JoeMo** » Mon Jan 23, 2012 10:12 pm

Application withdrawn. Good Luck All.

Waitlist with a 175 and 3.5x, No why ND

Does anyone have any recommendations on what hotel to stay at while visiting the school? I'll be there a Thursday evening- Sunday morning, so I don't want to be isolated from the weekend scene, since the school will only be open one day that I'm there.

164/3.72, no Why ND essay, Waitlisted. Expected.

emkay625 · Post by **emkay625** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 7:52 pm

waitlisted via snail mail, 173/3.23.

Waitlisted with a 3.6/164 and I did write a why ND essay.

Waitlisted 3.1/177 with Why ND. Kinda surprised, kinda disappointed.

I followed last year's cycle on TLS and it seemed like waitlists were common last year as well. People with pretty reasonable numbers waited as long as until May for final decisions. Gross

ColtsFan88 · Post by **ColtsFan88** » Wed Jan 25, 2012 3:47 pm

Wow, the ND graph on LSN is ridiculous. Seem like the only "safe" area is 165+, 3.8+, althought he sample size is pretty small right now.

aarias11 · Post by **aarias11** » Wed Jan 25, 2012 4:25 pm

the waitlist letter does kind of ask you to write a Why ND? maybe it would have been a good idea to do it in the first place!

Accepted today via snail mail with $15,000/ year and good academic standing stipulation. Brings tuition cost to $27,000/ year.

When I visited the school we got to speak with the "assistant dean of admissions", or something like that. He said that ND takes the highest lsat score, in most cases. He made it sound as if someone getting a 15x and then getting a 16x later on was something they typically encountered, and that it really isn't a big deal.

After faculty raised concerns, they now give GPA more weight.

That would make sense. I have a 159 /169 and was accepted earlier in the cycle. However, I had an addendum for the discrepancy, so take that for what you will.

I withdrew today at 167/3.3/Mexican URM. Hope it opens up a spot!
