checking in. looks like we're all here for the long haul. speaking of which, anybody have a personal deadline for themselves when the costs outweigh the benefits of getting in off the WL?

Checking in. I could potentially win an award for the number of waitlists I'm on (Northwestern, Mich, USC, Georgetown, Duke, U Minn and U Texas). Ughhhhhhh. Looks like I'm in it for the long haul.
What do you think Michigan means by a "small waitlist?"

Mich is my eighth T14 waitlist, but it's not one I'll be staying on. Good luck to y'all!

Just a question for you all: My LSAT and GPA are right at Michigan's medians and I'm accepted to peer schools with good scholarship offers. I applied VERY LATE in the cycle. Am I correct in assuming I'm WLed because I simply applied too late? Am I eligible for $$$ if I get off the WL?

When you say "right at" do you actually mean exactly 170 and 3.73? If so then yes, WL because you applied late.born4law wrote:Just a question for you all: My LSAT and GPA are right at Michigan's medians and I'm accepted to peer schools with good scholarship offers.

More or less. Perhaps a point up or down for either of those numbers. (Don't want to out myself)TripTrip wrote:When you say "right at" do you actually mean exactly 170 and 3.73?

OK, so if WL b/c late --> good chance of getting off if expressing interest/visiting/LOCI/etc ?

If 171/3.8 then yes, if 169/3.65 then it probably won't make much difference.born4law wrote:More or less. Perhaps a point up or down for either of those numbers.

Thoughts on when we might see movement?

First deposit deadline is 4/30. I'm assuming some movement will occur in the days/week after.TorturedApplicant wrote:Thoughts on when we might see movement?

For the most part, yes. There's also the 06/15 second deposit deadline and the subsequent spots that will be opened up after that. But it's also possible to get pulled off the WL anytime in between depending on the random flow of people voluntarily withdrawing from Michigan before the deadlines.Ned Racine wrote:First deposit deadline is 4/30.

If you are willing to do a summer start.. I would let them know via LOCI (you never know -- may the odds be ever in your favor!)TorturedApplicant wrote:I wonder if they'll pull anyone for summer session....

They're definitely going to pull for the summer start.

Asking merely out of curiosity, as I'll most likely be attending my regional school.
Does anyone know anything about the waitlist deferral, more specifically what is a solid reason to ask for consideration for next year? Is this sort of a Z-list (a la Harvard undergrad), or simply just one more option?
It's listed under the FAQ and realize it's binding. How does this affect financial aid? I've searched through the threads but haven't found much recent, Michigan specific, stuff. Would retaking affect the amount of money they'd offer you next year?
