Penn Law c/o 2020 Applicants - Pending is better than a Penn ding Forum

[Smc1994]

Waitlisted. No why Penn. Kinda expected.

Guess they heard about Yale

[mmestik]

Wait list, LSAT > 75, GPA just below median

What the heck? Wow.

I was WL'd today and I have a LSAT >>>75 and a bit below median GPA.

Same

I didn't write a whypenn, they must value interest quite a bit

Yeah I think at the end of the day this had more to do with you all having such great stats; think they might have gotten the feeling that you'd easily get into and consequently choose a T6 over them. They can make only 900 or so offers, so they have to make excellent people play this WL game to determine who is serious.

That said you guys are all in such great shape this cycle. Wishing you all the absolute best

Lol guess so

Accepted! Call at 3:03 Central Time! Legit shaking - I saw the number and had to walk out into the hall to answer because I was still teaching. So thrilled - didn't think I had that strong of a shot. LSAT=75%, but 25<GPA<50.

Hey I have similar stats -- do you mind sharing when you went complete and UR??

I think complete was early November, and my last status tracker update was 1/6 - hope it helps!

WL via email, wrote a Why Penn. LSAT = 50th, GPA between 25 and 50th. Good luck to everyone else!!

[apricots]

In! GPA << 25th LSAT >75

! Congrats! If you don't mind me asking, what were your dates? You seem to be one of the few of today's acceptances whose GPA isn't > 75th.

Wow, I guess I'm pretty lucky then. Submitted 11/9ish, complete 11/12, under review dates of 12/5 and 11/1. I wrote a nice Penn-specific essay responding to one of the prompts (I don't remember which one, sorry) which probably helps.

[Christinabruin]

Just received the WL email. So do I basically submit a LOCI as a response to this email?

[sphyrnidae13]

Just got an email asking for me to send my Fall semester grades...is this a good sign? Should I send a letter of interest as well? Any insights would be appreciated

[apricots]

In! GPA << 25th LSAT >75

Congrats! I think we have similar stats and hope to follow your trend soon!

Nice, good luck brother. One thing that might help (although I know it gets downplayed on this site, perhaps for good reason? I don't know how these things work) is the way my GPA splits; I was under 2.8 freshman year and every other semester has been much better.

submit the new transcript to LSAC
after it's processed
email a LOCI and confirm they receive the new grades

[Nickel94]

WL'd by email. Presumably yp. :/

173, 3.7x, no why Penn.
