Thanks for the advice

nope

Yes. If you are/were waitlisted why would you possibly be allowed to submit another application? UVA will get your updated GPA from LSAC, if it makes a big enough difference you will be taken off the waitlist.

If your file has already been reviewed and put on the Waiting List, it doesnt seem to make too much sense that you could apply again... you could email them a LOCI with your gpa increase, although I doubt a .02 increase would cause them to view your application any differently.

Why don't you retake? That would probably help you the most

You might be able to appeal due to the change. Pretty sure some schools allow this for new LSAT scores, I don't see why this should be different. Check it out and give it a try or retake & reapply next year.

You've done all you can do. Chill out.

I could be wrong but isnt appealing only for rejection decisions in light of new lsat/gpa ? When you get waitlisted the school should get your gpa/LSAT score automatically and make their decision based off that, no need to appeal the waitlist...

I've taken it 3 times (Cancel, 165, 161) so a retake is not an option.

I already sent them a LOCI indicating my GPA change and a LSAT addendum, both within the past few weeks. They basically said "Thanks we'll add this to your file."

Should I try calling them to ask if I can send in another ED agreement or something, or would that just annoy them?

Fight for it if you want it. The ED thing might make a difference. They basically don't take people off the WL, worst they can do is blacklist you or something, which doesn't worsen your situation at this point. If you're a resident and they won't let you switch to ED, reapply next year w/ an ED app early on. Just what I'd do if I was dead-set on going to UVA in your situation.

OP's GPA is different now. What's the point of being able to appeal if they go through the same process for you?

If they have already weighed your value, I agree that a .02 increase isn't going to affect anything. Also, if you've already notified them of the change, leave it at that - you don't want them to discover your OCD do you?

If you are rejected they will not even see your new LSAT / GPA, hence why you would appeal the decision. Some schools dont even do this. When you are put on a Waiting list it means your application is not bad enough to be rejected but not good enough to warrant admission for right now. Many people take the LSAT/have their GPAs go up while on the waiting list - some might be offered admission based on those changes, some might now. There is no reason to "appeal" a waitlist decision. The OP is in the same situation as many people who are waitlisted and get a better GPA/LSAT and the schools will see those changes.

There is nothing to "appeal" - the OP's application was placed on a waiting list and if his application changes the school will know about it and decide if it warrants getting off the WL/moving up the WL.

I think applying ED shows your commitment since with your #s you could probably get $$$ elsewhere. You've done all you can do right now, maybe a visit could help.
