Hey everyone, I just got my first admissions response and I'm a bit confused. I applied to Wake Forest with a 4.0 and a 170. I think my softs are pretty alright as well. I did a teaching assistant position in a program managed by Fulbright Austria, I interned with the U.S. Congress and the Brookings Institution. And I currently work a full time job at a community college helping student navigate our higher ed system.
I got my first admissions decision - waitlisted a Wake Forst (LSAT Median 166, GPA 3.8). I'm a bit concerned about my application prospects now. I'm wondering 1) if this is because the high amount of applicants? 2) if perhaps my application is magically much weaker than I thought? Or 3) if this is yield protection.
Does anyone have any insight or thoughts. Thanks in advance.
TLDR - I got waitlisted at Wake Forest, a school that should have been a decent safety. What's going on?

From what I've read this is the heaviest application year in... over a decade? Which means the schools have the ability to be more selective. I did some research and it depends on the school but generally speaking it seems like the admittance rate for each school will be 10% lower. Though you still seem more than qualified this influx of applicants might be part of the reason?
i am scared for myself. Good luck to you!
Without a doubt yield protect those softs would be fantastic for someone below both medians at Wake. I just cannot imagine a universe in which they legitimately WL you, unless you are a multiple felon or something.
