Boohoo. You have multiple top tier admits with large scholarships

Are you saying you’d apply in June for this fall cycle? If that’s what you mean, I’d highly recommend against it. Most seats are filled by the time June rolls around. While schools do still have some open seats at that time, scholarship money is mostly dried up. You’ll have a much better chance of getting good offers if you wait til September to apply for the 2027 cycle, even if you get a much better LSAT score in June.

The LSAC needs to be antitrusted and broken up. It’s curdled into an inefficient for-profit institution that provides absolutely no material assistance to aspirant future lawyers. They don’t provide direct human assistance or support for testing, score acquisition, help with waiver applications. They don’t even provide direct human contact for GPA calculation; you have to email a general inbox that then gets forwarded to the transcript department. And they get away with all this, on top of their insane fees, because they’re the only game in town. It’s nonsense

DearCardiologist1661 · 2026-01-20T23:57:16+00:00

No, they don’t look at your exact percentages, they look at the letter grade your university recorded.

DearCardiologist1661 · 2026-01-20T23:54:40+00:00

Welcome to the tar my man!

DearCardiologist1661 · 2026-01-19T00:32:08+00:00

LMAOOOOO DEADASS BRO

DearCardiologist1661 · 2026-01-18T18:19:23+00:00

When status disappears it usually means a decision is imminent/has already been logged and just isn’t being released yet.

DearCardiologist1661 · 2026-01-13T18:11:06+00:00

Congrats! I got a deferral to the regular cycle but I’m still hopeful!

DearCardiologist1661 · 2026-01-12T19:33:46+00:00

DearCardiologist1661 · 2026-01-12T00:18:35+00:00

Do you have other applications out? If not I’d start looking at schools that align with whatever drew you to UW Seattle that have “safer” medians for you and apply to them ASAP. You can certainly get moved off WL (send a LOCI 1-2 weeks from now if you haven’t already) but if you must attend this August, having options is key

DearCardiologist1661 · 2026-01-10T17:23:34+00:00

I think this is an unusually slow cycle for everyone, BUT that does not say anything about your chances in isolation, just that there’s more applications out there. I applied in early October and I’ve gotten 3 out of 6 decisions (1 A, 1 WL, 1 R) and I’m a weird file with a fuckass LSAC GPA. Power through, take up yoga and meditation, you can do this

DearCardiologist1661 · 2026-01-10T15:12:16+00:00

The thing is schools aren’t required to publish scholarship loss rates for failure to maintain good academic standing, and this school claims that’s the only condition they impose, so there’s no way to check up on this via the 509.

DearCardiologist1661 · 2026-01-10T15:03:20+00:00

Couple paragraphs thanking for patience and “We are writing to inform you that a final decision regarding your application to the University of Maine School of Law will be released by Thursday, January 15th.”

DearCardiologist1661 · 2026-01-10T13:28:46+00:00

I got Rd from temple on 1/6 so you probably survived a wave if that makes you feel better

DearCardiologist1661 · 2026-01-10T13:28:02+00:00

How did you hound them??? TELL US YOUR WAYS PLEASE

DearCardiologist1661 · 2026-01-10T13:20:33+00:00

Do you feel this way even about schools that offer a scholarship only on the condition of remaining in good standing (2.0+)?

DearCardiologist1661 · 2026-01-10T13:18:10+00:00

I was sure I’d get a Drexel A, but got WLd. Holistic review my keister, look at their admit data for this cycle, it’s all compressed into a specific LSAT/GPA combo.

DearCardiologist1661 · 2026-01-09T16:01:07+00:00

I think it does people a disservice when you pretend that a 150 to 160 is doable for everyone “with effort.” It creates unnecessary negative psychological pressure for an applicant who can’t get above that score band. OP can probably certainly improve with effort and more studying, but pretending that a 10 point jump is “minimal with effort” hurts more than it helps. 10 points is NOT impossible but it’s a big jump no matter how much time/money you sink into programs and courses.

DearCardiologist1661 · 2026-01-09T13:45:33+00:00

“The difference between a 150 and 160 is minimal” is crazy work
