Waitlisted! This was a serious reach for me. I may never get off the waitlist but it still feels (almost) good.

[ram jam]

George Mason accepted me via voicemail today even though I sent a notification of withdrawal about two months ago. I thought I got a response from their Office of Admissions saying they received the withdrawal. Should I e-mail them again as a matter of courtesy?

Drop that SHIT today! I need a phone call!

Oh fuck, just got the 2-4 weeks thing at the top of my status checker, does this mean I'm out?

[Huskrfn127]

if you don't mind me asking, what are your stats?

In my profile.

Waitlisted with a 170???

Well I did get a 161 on my first LSAT, but GMU isn't one of the schools that averages, etc. (and even if they did I'd be above median)...so I don't know. The only thing I can think of is that my GPA is slightly low.

[H. E. Pennypacker]

I think you are probably a YP...I got in with numbers below both of yours.

[robin600]

so wait those who were accepted did get the status change or not? Confused. If you have the status change you're out?

[webbylu87]

webbylu87 what are your stats if you don't mind? I feel like I'm in the same boat as you.

PS- GMU is looking like it joins the D-bag club this cycle with it's craziness.

Waitlisted today...no surprise.

Safe to say you can throw away the prediction websites for URM quasi-splitters.

So far this cycle...in at Minnesota with $$, dinged at Ohio State, waitlisted at George Mason, in at DePaul with $$$, in at KU, and deferred at Northeastern. Safe to say no one would have nailed that on a 'What are my chances?' thread.

[robin600]

waitlisted, oh what one fucking point can do!

[Zojirushi]

WL, but I have an ace in my pocket.

Hmmmm... and what might that ace be?

[ruleser]

so wait those who were accepted did get the status change or not? Confused. If you have the status change you're out?

Yes, it changed, shortly thereafter followed by a phone call.

[robin600]

Uggh, this 164 cut off is starting to piss me off!! (indiana,uga, gmu....)

[SamSeaborn2016]

Waitlist for me as well. Not particularly surprised but I was more expecting a rejection.

[whatchootalkinbout]

This may have already been addressed, but for those of you who were WL'd, did your status checker change at all?

Mine changed after the phone call.

[MarkRenton]

I got in with a phone call and my status checker has never changed to anything. No info at all. No complete, under review, or anything.

[Zojirushi]

This may have already been addressed, but for those of you who were WL'd, did your status checker change at all?

Yes, presumably on the day they mailed the decision, it was Thursday or Friday. If your status checker changes and you did not receive a call, you are WL/reject. Good luck.

My status checker has been the same since I first submitted the app. No news is good news, I suppose.

In the TLS interview the dean said they will average unless you can explain the difference in your score. I added an addendum on my multiple scores. But even with that your average is above my highest score. I call YP

[ram jam]

For those that have received their decisions:

I have applied two weeks ago to GMU with a 3.05 and sept 159,dec 164 LSAT. I did not attach an addendum explaining the score difference. Do you think it is sufficient for an acceptance?
