Discuss all things waitlist.

Link to last year's thread
http://top-law-schools.com/forums/viewt ... 7&t=198605

From looking at the past thread they pull a handful of people from the list.

Credit goes to oxie :)

UVA:
• During the past three cycles, 139 applicants on LSN at/above that cycle’s LSAT median and at/above that cycle’s GPA median were straight admits while 124 were waitlisted. Of those waitlisted applicants, 86 withdrew from the waitlist and 0 were eventually admitted (0% staying on waitlist were admitted).
• During the past three cycles, 257 applicants on LSN at/above that cycle’s LSAT median and below that cycle’s GPA median were straight admits while 470 were waitlisted. Of those waitlisted applicants, 224 withdrew from the waitlist and 24 were eventually admitted (9.8% staying on waitlist were admitted).
• During the past three cycles, 107 applicants on LSN below that cycle’s LSAT median and at/above that cycle’s GPA median were straight admits while 174 were waitlisted. Of those waitlisted applicants, 50 withdrew from the waitlist and 17 were eventually admitted (13.7% staying on waitlist were admitted).
• During the past three cycles, 32 applicants on LSN below that cycle’s LSAT median and below that cycle’s GPA median were straight admits while 215 were waitlisted. Of those waitlisted applicants, 67 withdrew from the waitlist and 2 were eventually admitted (1.4% staying on waitlist were admitted).
• During the past three cycles, 72 applicants on LSN URM were straight admits while 120 were waitlisted. Of those waitlisted applicants, 54 withdrew from the waitlist and 4 were eventually admitted (6.1% staying on waitlist were admitted)

Percent of applicants remaining on waitlist eventually admitted, 2012-2013 cycle:
UVA: 12.3% (162 applicants on LSN did not withdraw from the waitlist, 20 eventually admitted

Wow! Those waitlist numbers are terrible. I'm not really sure I want to even bother riding it out.

I'm not holding my breath, but I plan on riding the WL and sent my first LOCI today. I'm perfectly happy with my options if I don't get off of it, but the time commitment of an occasional LOCI seems negligible compared to eventually getting an invite to any of the schools that have WL'd me.

Checkin' in. Conversion rates don't look particularly promising, but I'll ride this one down to the wire if need be. Getting started on LOCI and Why UVA tonight.

These greetings are so sad.

That said, hello.

At the begging stage now. I feel like a very polite stalker.

Everyone submit their LOCIs already? or waiting?

Anyone actually get off the WL yet?

Checking in. No LOCI as of yet. How my applications & scholly negotiations go over the next month will go a long way in determining whether or not to ride this WL.

Sent mine in yesterday and it was added to my file. The first deposit deadline is not until April 21st and the second is June 21. I imagine if we hear anything it will be around those dates. From what I've read they try to keep us fairly informed about what is happening with the wait list.

Hey y'all quick question -

When you received your WL email did you respond accepting the WL (is that even necessary)?

I plan on sending in a LOCI but I would like to wait until I submit my honors thesis so that I have something substantive to talk about.

Thanks!

I am planning an LOCI on or about May 1, which will give me something substantive to talk about, something I will have completed by then.

Also: I did not respond to the wait list e-mail since no response seem to be asked for

Visited on Friday and really enjoyed it.

If anyone else is heading to Charlottesville, I'd be happy to advise on places to stay, eat, drink, etc. upon request.
