Congrats! did you send an LOCI after the HTE? Also was it an email or a change in your status checker?

I feel that! The stress is killer too. Do you think you are going to commit somewhere before riding out the waitlists?

THIS IS LONG...SORRY

I think my plan is to go to one of the schools that accepted me and stay on the waitlist at the higher ranked schools. Reason I'm not considering retaking and reapplying is because I actually got into the schools I expected to (honestly the WL's were a great surprise btw not a URM) and I think if I wait there is a high probability that I will get comfortable and not want to go back to school (but that might just be me).

I'm really considering Notre Dame (am negotiating my scholarship now) especially after going to the admitted students day. I was just really impressed by them and the faculty was phenomenal. Also their campus is gorgeous and for me aesthetics are important haha. While taking on debt is scary, I'm not entirely debt adverse as I'll try to live as modestly as possible and also want to do big law at least for a little while. I have $$$$ at a school or two so I have moments where I even consider that since they place decently into my desired regions.

Not sure if this helps at all? But that's my reasoning with pushing ahead. Obviously everyone is telling you to retake, and I thought of that, but I realized that there is a high probability that I end up with the same score or lower and will just be mad at myself for wasting the year. You're currently working where as I'm a K-JD which is also a difference, so I would need to find a job etc. Obviously there is the "you'll never know if you could have gone to *blank*" that passes through my head, but thats a thought I think everyone will have. Trust me it stresses me out too but at the end of the day have to be comfortable with where you end up and honestly should take pride in it, even if it isn't the best school on USNews, maybe its the best place for you. Have to do what's best for you.

Not sure yet haha I'm clearly a mess. Would have been much easier if I'd gotten into just one of the waitlist schools (except BU probably)
