It's not a "no" guys :D I have a chance, this is super exciting for me. As a splitter (2.8gpa/171 LSAT) I didn't think I'd make it to even the waitlist...
Guys...guys! I have a shot at U.Mich!!
Thank you so much 7Sage for getting me as far as you have! I love you guys.

Hopefully, it'll be one of those years in which dozens of students are accepted off the waitlist.
It sounds like people are applying to more schools than in the past, which is leading to lots of waitlists, and I would think, lots of admits off waitlists. At least that's what I'm hoping and convincing myself!

I hope so too!

So glad to hear!!!
You got this @pcainti665! I’m a fellow Non-traditional 2.8GPA guy and hoping to be in your position soon. Good luck and thanks again for the awesome webinar!!
You’re still in the game, @pcainti665!! Woohoo! Send in a LOCI!

I just got waitlisted too! :disappointed: ; but I'm above their numbers so idk what to think. Yield protection?
Edit: Looking at lawschoolnumbers.com's admissions ticker right now...
Lots of people with really high numbers getting waitlisted at Michigan!
What is your new score?!?
You're killing me. :P
That's awesome, hope you get a positive response! Congratulations!

@uhinberg359 do you mind to read my why umich? I am not sure whether it fits their taste :(
I'll read it if you PM me or post it. I can't say I know their taste for sure.
@tylerdschreur10199
I don't know the best timing for sure, but I wouldn't wait untill March. I recommend taking however long you need to make sure it is well written and not a hasty reaction to the wait list. You just want to make it as clear as you can without lying that you are likely to attend if accepted.

Yes, agreeing with other people. Maybe tell them you're really happy they're considering your application and mention some of your qualifications and thank them for their time. There's definitely hope and good for you for viewing it in a positive way.
Jumping in to reiterate the LOCI question posed by @pcainti665
What's the conventional wisdom on LOCI timing? As soon as you can write a good one, or wait until march when they start reevaluating WLers? I'm in at UofM (glory be!) but I just got WL at Duke and Penn this week, so I'm writing my letters, but unsure when to send them.... Help!

WL as well. Is sending in a Why UMich and an LSAT addendum a bad idea? (assuming they want me to address my huge score differences)
I would say it's a great idea. If you don't want to send them both at once you could string them out over a few weeks: one now and one in a bit. They accepted me on Valentine's Day a little over two months after I applied in an act of profound love which I can only assume is either because I obeyed their instructions to me at a law school fair to write an LSAT addendum or because I wrote a convincing Why Michigan essay.
Disclaimer: My acceptance could also be because I am a Michigander so it made less sense to yield protect me. I had a little built in yield protection resistance.

@jhaldy10325 @pcainti665 When would you guys recommend sending in a LOCI? Immediately? Like Today??? Or in a few months?
I sent a really short LOCI immediately after I got waitlisted, and I’m planning to send a more substantive LOCI in March.
@adipick708 That's the way it seems to me. To be honest I sent my application to UMich pretty late, like around January 5th. I was kind of surprised when I got a response back this early, part of me doubts they even read my file (PS, letters of rec, etc.) and just waitlisted me because they've already accepted too many people.
Do you think they're sending mass waitlists to buy them time cause too many applicants??
ROOTING FOR YOU BOTH :)

Attaboy!!! you got your foot in the door, now show them what's up!

Don't they know I would love to go there :disappointed:
Not if you didn't tell them! Time to write a killer LOCI to let them know! If your stats are too far up on them, it's very likely yield protection. They'll figure you'll likely get offers at higher ranked schools and so why waste the offer?
Hoping for positive responses for both of you @pcainti665 and @pcainti665!
