I thought I'd create a thread for us special snowflakes that got waitlisted at all three of Harvard, Stanford, and Yale.

I find myself in the horrifying position of considering retaking the LSAT one last time. Does anybody know anything about a higher score helping students get off the waitlist? Or does it even make a difference at this point?

I hit the trifecta of waitlists - HYS

I wonder how many of us there are. There should be a poll.

Newcomer to this thread . I'm doing the same. From the limited reading I've done it makes a difference when you have a higher score. I am not an expert but I would think that it would make the most difference if you go from below to above/at median, especially with the decline in high LSATs this cycle. Also, it probably makes more of a difference if you have a higher GPA, since I hear that H prefers high GPAs from the WL.
