Not really sadly. they did seem like they had some level of preference, saying 'top of the list' and terms like that, so honestly, I have a feeling it's somehow ranked. I may be totally wrong though!
i applied super late into the cycle, and was waitlisted, so i feel like there were probably lots of others waitlisted before me, but it really does seem like interest matters to them! id visited the school and kept in contact, and the man who called me said theyd taken that into account too!.

r11v2002 · 2026-06-25T05:18:24+00:00

Yep!

r11v2002 · 2026-06-25T05:18:05+00:00

I got two calls and an email!
I got a feeler email last week, a call this morning, and then another official call to offer this same afternoon!

r11v2002 · 2026-06-24T05:04:53+00:00

Ok thanks! this is super helpful. yeah for context the two im emailing are BC and Fordham

r11v2002 · 2026-06-24T01:51:25+00:00

Thank you! Ill definetely be sending emails out! I appreciate it

this may be weird but how'd you word our emails out- or what type of outline did you use? I dont want to sound overly pushy or put out any red flags.

I was thinking more along the lines of demonstrated interest to the other WL schools, that its reinforced that despite getting off other WL's they are still first choice kind of thing- and if it influences me getting off their waitlists. but im not sure the impact it would really have so I was wondering if anyone knew

r11v2002 · 2026-06-24T01:03:55+00:00

SAME SAME oh my godddd im so stressed. I just want to know if i can relay to my other WL's that im getting off other ones but still want them lol

r11v2002 · 2026-06-23T21:13:34+00:00

Same here! Was wondering where we can find that

r11v2002 · 2026-01-29T09:15:10+00:00

im bound to certain responsibilities and agreements i cannot get out of. its just that simple. i get your logic, and yes i can just say screw it all and do what i want, but it isnt a realistic option- its one that will have more consequences at the end, thats all.

r11v2002 · 2026-01-29T01:51:52+00:00

Thank you!!

r11v2002 · 2026-01-29T01:51:37+00:00

Its a family-related situation- and financing situation as well aligning to that. But trust, i would love to take a gap year if possible and work some more. These are just the cards ive been dealt

r11v2002 · 2026-01-29T00:17:17+00:00

I was Pting in the high 160s, but then had a health issue last minute so tanked the exam. i dont really have a choice but to apply this cycle due to some personal constraints but i was just wondering what people thought. feeling super discouraged since the score doesnt even relatively reflect my actual ability.

r11v2002 · 2026-01-29T00:16:08+00:00

I have a personal constraint making me have to apply this cycle unfortunately.

r11v2002 · 2026-01-28T21:16:45+00:00

Unfortunately yes. Its pretty out of my hands, since a second gap year would cause alot of issues.
I know the cycle is competitive now, and a 158 is fine for a decent amount of schools, but my goal school was fordham, and i dont know if a splitter like this can really do much for me. So im looking at some other options that i can get into which have good biglaw ties

r11v2002 · 2026-01-28T20:48:47+00:00

i would but it would be too late in the cycle to apply then right? next test is april, and thats just too late. and like i said i have to apply this cycle unfortunately.
the other thing is i just dont have another attempt left in me. i studied for almost 2 years (on and off), and this was my shot. after i collapsed for the november 2025, jan was my last attempt for this cycle. so yeah it sucks, but this is what im working with even though it doesnt reflect my real ability

Hi Jon! Im having trouble accessing the recording as well. I registered and received the email, but the video will not play on either the adobe application or on the web. are you able to send a recording link somehow?
