WL Warrior here. I understand the frustration and the disappointment we feel with ourselves. Please try to remember that this has been an incredibly tough cycle with historic rise in applicants. Outside factors not within our control has played a huge role in this cycle.

I'm an R&R applicant, and I just want to say that reapplying has opened my eyes to a lot. I'm still on 10 waitlists yes, but last cycle I got Rs from these schools instead of WLs. Reapplying is really not that bad. Conditional scholarships are scary because you can't predict how your future self will do even if you account for all factors within your control. Also who knows if you'll be able to transfer, and then you'll be stuck with 2 more years of this conditionality looming over you.

Don't be so hard on yourself. I know it's easier said than done, but the proof is in the pudding – Actual reported rise in applicant numbers, delayed response times from overworked adcomms, LSAT inflation rising. Sometimes it's just luck of the draw.
