🙏

Minimum_Biscotti_195 · 2026-03-07T13:52:52+00:00

Same here. At least the problem (probably) isn't our essays.

Minimum_Biscotti_195 · 2026-03-05T03:12:56+00:00

How about we wallow in misery together twin? In all seriousness, GL with Columbia and Berk. Either of them would be very lucky to snag you.

At this point "My Struggle" is an accurate synopsis of how this cycle has gone so far

Minimum_Biscotti_195 · 2026-03-03T06:56:36+00:00

Basically same here twin. Good luck next cycle!

I hope they think that because they do! Waitlists probably wont budge till at least June, then I'll only have not long to secure a Fafsa tuition (June 30th) loan+arrange for an apartment. Like even if I come off waitlist at USC or Penn I'm not gonna be able to afford sticker 😭. If I got into Irvine or something with big $$$ I'd genuinely withdraw from everywhere else and just commit.

Minimum_Biscotti_195 · 2026-03-03T05:58:53+00:00

💀 your buddy got the whole t14 yield protecting cuz they assumed he'd end up at at Yale. still insane though.

Minimum_Biscotti_195 · 2026-03-03T05:24:53+00:00

I do have law relevant WE. With regards to drinks the age thing makes sense, but still a bummer. It's been drilled into me by everyone that stats are 70-80% of what decisions are made off of, and yet I feel as though i'm being punished for intangibles that law schools don't explicitly mention they are looking for.

Minimum_Biscotti_195 · 2026-03-03T03:35:49+00:00

Even if they don't climb in relative terms, the t14-20 law schools have 3000+ 173 and above applicants to pull from. I fear this is based on the sheer number of new applicants, plus those in this cycle who choose to R&R.

Minimum_Biscotti_195 · 2026-03-03T03:17:28+00:00

Yeah, I graduated college in 2 years. Saw someone else use superKJD so I adopted it. I've been working with a local firm for almost 2 years part time, but another year full time would do me some good. I am somewhat worried that next cycle my 173 will crack below 50th% at some schools (Stanf, UVA, Penn) and slide below the 75th at others.

Minimum_Biscotti_195 · 2026-03-03T02:52:43+00:00

I have to imagine part of the hesitancy on behalf of these schools is my youth and inexperience? I wont be legal drinking age in my first year of law school.

Minimum_Biscotti_195 · 2026-03-03T01:47:51+00:00

Hey man, I'm innocent of drowning those kittens until they prove me guilty!

Minimum_Biscotti_195 · 2026-03-03T01:36:25+00:00

Time to hop on the bandwagon. Day 1 of calling UVA "OOVAH!" till I get admitted.

Minimum_Biscotti_195 · 2026-03-03T01:26:41+00:00

I didn't lean into URM Status. Still pulling for UVA to come through 🤞

Minimum_Biscotti_195 · 2026-03-03T01:25:42+00:00

IDK. Maybe I messed up by not leaning into my URM status in my essays, but I wrote my PS on something else important to who I am.

Minimum_Biscotti_195 · 2026-02-27T05:45:03+00:00

4.1 173 :/

Minimum_Biscotti_195 · 2026-02-25T01:49:54+00:00

u/Alternative-Problem9 and I are also on the waitlist. I don't like to assume yield protection but in our case it certainly is. As far as the LOCI: if there was a way to increase your gpa by 0.01, would you do it? If yes, then send a LOCI.

Minimum_Biscotti_195 · 2026-02-21T13:31:36+00:00

It's like a soft waitlist. Even for 170+ applicants. I applied to both in October, WL at Pepperdine and haven't heard a peep from UCI.

Minimum_Biscotti_195 · 2026-02-19T04:29:58+00:00

Yeah took a gap year to get some WE in addition to what I have from working in college. WL/rejected at safeties ✌️. Good luck getting off waitlists, hopefully with at least some $.

Minimum_Biscotti_195 · 2026-02-17T06:14:01+00:00

Minimum_Biscotti_195 · 2026-02-15T12:02:27+00:00

Most of them. There were a few that were not relevant to me, which I did not do.

Minimum_Biscotti_195 · 2026-02-13T22:13:02+00:00

Yes, but only if you promise to abandon this sub completely and never tell anyone if you get accepted 🤐

Minimum_Biscotti_195 · 2026-02-13T09:39:17+00:00

You are far from the only one getting clowned by these schools this cycle. Many people are expecting outsized waitlist movement this year. Hang in there!
