From what I've been told by the admission's office, they basically want to create as diverse a class as possible (while keeping high GPA and LSAT scores of course) and so theoretically if someone who is most like you doesn't accept their offer of admission, you may get in. Every time they look at the waitlist, they are looking at everyone who has accepted and reaccessing who they need. This is why they claim the waitlist is not truly "ranked." Although I'm not sure what really goes on in the decision making process, this is just my understanding of what I've been told.123ski wrote:I am on the waitlist as well.
Anyone have any idea of how they choose who to accept and who not to accept from the waitlist?
I called the admissions office today and was told they have not even looked at the waitlist, too many admissions decision makers have been out of town. I was told, they will start looking at it in the next week or so. Good luck to everyone! Hopefully we will hear something positive soon!
I realized it has been 8 months since I submitted my application. If I wasn't a patient person before I started the law application process, I will be by the end; starting to go crazy here 
. You can gather from this post that there are at least four of us on the wait list still. I highly doubt that everyone uses and knows about this website. I would guess that there are at least 25 or 50 students still on the waitlist. From what I was able to find through research, only about 2 wait list students were accepted off the wait list last year after the first round. At this point, it will be a miracle if any of us are accepted. The letter they sent out was not as positive as last years. They did not tell last years wait list students that the chance were not high. Good luck to all!
