Just received email, I'm surprised I even made it to the waitlist honestly.

I am super happy to even be on the waitlist - I thought I'd be a for sure *dinggg*! I think that I can write a pretty convincing essay about Chicago, but with midterms coming at me on an every-other-day basis right now, my main problem will be finding the time!!! good luck everyone!

Just checking in. What're people's plans? Send a LOCI, then wait a little while before an extra LOR? All right away?

Hand deliver LOCI. Wait a month. Hand deliver LOR. Beg and plead if necessary.Lermontov wrote:Just checking in. What're people's plans? Send a LOCI, then wait a little while before an extra LOR? All right away?

Surely things aren't that desperate. Don't you have a good backup already?

I do, but I really, really want Chicago. Would be willing to shed blood over it.Lermontov wrote:Helmholtz wrote:Hand deliver LOCI. Wait a month. Hand deliver LOR.

You should tell them that. Offer to fight a current admit to the death, with the winner taking their rightful spot in the hallowed halls of the University of Chicago School of Law.Helmholtz wrote:I do, but I really, really want Chicago.

I'm still trying to decide if I want to bother with the waitlist. I really don't like them--I'd've preferred a straight ding.

No, I did not. I'm still waiting on them. Would not take NYU over Michigan with money anyway. Honestly thinking about just withdrawing but I'm curious about how it'll turn out so prob staying in.hopefulundergrad wrote: Did you ever get a fall grade request from NYU?
Also serious about hand delivering.

Alright with me. Kill off some of the disinterested stragglers.hopefulundergrad wrote:Oh, btw, waitlistees, although my interviewer told me they'd try to get me a decision w/in a month, I really can't see them evaluating any WL candidate until at least April. When you don't start issuing RD decision until the end of Dec and you get nearly 6000 applications a year it going to be hard getting through those, let alone reevaluating files that you set aside a few months back.
