late cycle at reach schools, pulling hair out, help please
Posted: Fri Jan 27, 2012 4:51 pm
I read a previous forum about this but it said a lot of general info such as "if you have great scores you'll get in" and this really isn't that helpful for me personally because I applied to a large number of schools which I was between 25-50% chance of getting in. Any input will be greatly appreciated. I'll be very happy if I get into just one of these schools but I know my chances are even lower because I applied after the December LSAT. I was hoping maybe I could find people who could relate to my situation? I did not include my safety schools. Something else which is really starting to worry me is that because I am so middle of the road for these schools I'm worried they will take forever to make a decision on me and I have to let Miami know by april 15th... Is this a problem I really need to be worrying about? or Will these schools likely let me know before then? Obviously a few will waitlist me, but I'm really hoping I'll just get in somewhere and then I won't have to deal with that. If I get waitlisted at some and don't get accepted to one... all hell is going to break loose haha. Any advice or predictions of my outcomes will be greatly appreciated.
Non-urm
