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.

@pcainti665 UUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Don't they know I would love to go there :disappointed:
Right?! lol don't they know the first school to outright accept me will probably make me fall in love because I am so desperate haha
Crossing fingers!
Time to write a great LOCI!
May the Force be with you. I hope you get in!

Hopefully, it'll be one of those years in which dozens of students are accepted off the waitlist.
I hope so too!

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.

Did y’all write a “Why Michigan”?
CONGRATS!!!!!!!
@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.
Attaboy!!! you got your foot in the door, now show them what's up!
Hoping for positive responses for both of you @pcainti665 and @pcainti665!

Sorry to hear, man! it's a slaughter-fest on LSL, LSN, and reddit :(
best of luck with the rest of your cycle though, and maybe getting into Mich! :)
I saw Reddit...almost everyone that got the WL was 170+ which is interesting to me... but hey, I'm looking at it positively, I wasn't rejected!
@jhaldy10325 Already started it :D I'm more excited about this than I should be....
@rochishatogare811 Thank you! It's exciting to see movement.

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!
You’re still in the game, @pcainti665!! Woohoo! Send in a LOCI!
@pcainti665 said:
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.
