Been UR for like 2 weeks so I’m hoping we get a wave today

[Eleven]

Email today saying I was under review and qualified for priority track and would hear back in 10 days or less. I can imagine they are working through the holiday, so idk if that 10 calendar days or what.

Applied 12/12

WL despite being like 3/4 points above their 75th LSAT. Anyone know when they start taking people off the waitlist?

Went UR 12/15. Did anyone who went UR last week hear back today? When should I expect my decision???

I went UR 12/7 and heard today if that helps! Holidays might add a few days to that!

[jstanhope14]

In today after UR 12/8. 163 / 3.66

[CADM1UM]

Anyone know the soonest they start taking people off the waitlist? Really frustrated over what I thought would be an acceptance and hope I don’t have to wait months and months and months for a definitive decision.


Also should LOCI’s be sent soon after getting waitlisted or later in the cycle?

[ATXStudent]

I was waitlisted as well, with both LSAT and GPA way above the 75th. I'm assuming its YP.

I was several points above 75th LSAT but below 25th GPA so I don’t know if it’s YP.

Would they YP a 167 that’s below 25th GPA do you think?

Disclaimer, I am just a current applicant. But it probably depends on how much below their 25th GPA. If we are talking around a 2.0, I could see based on LSN how they waitlisted (just off the trends, again I'm no expert or would claim to be). But if you are around a 3.2-3.3 then I would argue YP.

Based on last year, I knew someone who wrote a LOCI for BC, and got off in January. Numbers were above both 75th percentiles. I also just texted that individual and she said that she sent in her LOCI a day after getting waitlisted. Hopefully, that helps!

Thanks! Yeah I’m between 3.2-3.3 so I’m hoping you’re right. Gonna try and make my LOCI good and send it in the next few days and then also I’m visiting within the next few weeks so hopefully I can hear relatively soon

Seems like a solid strategy, especially with the visit! Best of luck and I am sure you'll get off the waitlist!
