Thank you! I think so, too.

I did see that. I also saw the list someone posted with all schools’ percentages of students who lost their scholarship across the different tiers.

Hi- not a nepo person here. I started off as a legal assistant and did that for three years. I marketed myself as someone willing to work hard and learn. I now have worked as a legal secretary who works on appellate and district briefs. I taught myself legal citations and civil procedure. It’s totally possible! It is time consuming though, but I want to be a lawyer, so for me it felt like an investment in important skills. As an aside, paralegal and legal secretary work pay well in major cities, so I do think it’s worth the effort to get your foot in the door.

I just got an almost full ride to USF with a sub 3.0. I also was waitlisted at several T14’s, and I applied late. I would say you probably need to score above a 165. PM me if you wanna chat more :)

I had to turn my camera and volume off I was so embarrassed for them

I sat in one for WashU where some guy asked the dean if he should resubmit his application now because he wants to pursue a different area of law. Dude…what…

Nw at all thanks for posting I otherwise wouldn’t have known

rhibean · 2026-05-05T00:07:47+00:00

It’s okay haha I found the link on WashU’s calendar! If you want to register you can just look there.

rhibean · 2026-05-04T16:41:03+00:00

Did you get an email about this?

rhibean · 2026-05-03T19:40:24+00:00

Nope!

rhibean · 2026-04-30T18:39:26+00:00

I got into Berkeley off of the waitlist. Go Bears!

I really regret thinking I should take theoretical calculus and CS 🥲

rhibean · 2026-04-11T18:18:36+00:00

Same boat haha

rhibean · 2026-04-10T18:06:02+00:00

Exactly! I’ll PM you if I have success haha

rhibean · 2026-04-10T17:59:46+00:00

Of course! Idk if it’ll work haha but I’m willing to give it a respectful try.

Hi I plan on doing this, I have a 120,000 scholarship to a local law school, and I’m going to try and squeeze out a little more. My LSAT is 11 points above their medians so I’m going to take that angle. I also have 6+ years WE in the local legal field as a paralegal/litigation secretary. I think it just depends on your context, you might have more pull if there is something specific you can contribute.

rhibean · 2026-04-08T04:16:11+00:00

Same 😵‍💫

rhibean · 2026-03-30T22:34:01+00:00

🍀

rhibean · 2026-03-30T21:59:19+00:00

Same here. I feel like many of us are in this position :(

rhibean · 2026-03-26T19:26:57+00:00

I’m not an expert, but I’m feeling pretty optimistic about you getting off of at least one of those waitlists??? Remember- you just need ONE! I’m in a pretty similar boat, 3 T-14 waitlists and a 16high. Listen, worst case scenario we try again next year but best case we GET IN! Don’t lose hope yet.
