I just re read all the correspondence and nowhere do they specify or even mention the word “waitlist.” They do, however, mention a commitment to attend after withdrawing all other offers. A part of me is afraid that if I ask I won’t get the answer that I expect. Another part of me just wants to believe that I should be fine. I’m a little worried of the legal repercussions if I miraculously were to get off the waitlist and I had to make a dangerous move
Hello!
I have a question on the ramifications of committing to attend a school while waiting to get off the waitlist at another. I got a waiver on my second deposit for school X under the condition that I would withdraw all other offers. I collected all my withdrawal letters and forwarded them to the Dean of Admissions. My question is, does this mean that I have to withdraw my name from the waitlists as well? Technically waitlists are not offers. I am wondering the ethical/legal ramifications if I were to get off the waitlist at my first choice and not attend school X.
Thank you for the insight!

Got a 150 because i completely bombed RC...Gotta regroup and get ready for November.
Same over here... I hope when the scores come out in December is still a good time to apply
For all of us retaking in November...
Is the time that the score gets released too late to apply?
@jclaridge202 The only potential downside is that it is a non disclosed test so you don't get to see the specifics of how your test went, you only get a score. In that respect only the June test may be preferable.
Oh wow, is there a reason why they don't disclose that test?
@gregoryalexanderdevine723 You and the test score will be good for 5 years, so taking in Feb 18 and applying the next year will be 100% kosher.
I'll second the concerns voiced above about Feb test and it being undisclosed. However, I know of many people who have taken it and done just fine. If you're ready, you're ready..
Good luck!
Gotcha! I was on a great track for the December test until Hurricane Matthew left me without power for a week and I pretty much lost about 35 hours of studying... so it would be a miracle if I can make up for those hours in time... But if I wait until June I am afraid I am going to forget everything that I have drilled so far. Ugh!
I know the LSAT score is good for 5 years so if i take the LSAT on February and wait to apply for the year after, is that kosher? or is it a bad move?
I remember seeing that some people were offering tutoring, is that still going on?
I am signed up for Oct 2015 *freaks out* what happens if I chicken out and decide to change my date to December? What looks worse... Taking in October and get a shitty score and retake it in December or withdrawing from October and taking it in December
Thank you! @selenesteelman792 that makes me feel better! Here’s to riding that waitlist wave and hoping for good surprises! I appreciate the response so much!
