Why is there class size sooo small? For a state school it’s so weird

Lol. I did an interview with them and the exact principle was stated to me. Heavy emphasis on 165 or bust, other heavy emphasis on first gen law student.
15:53
Just withdrew my app with no decision. No point is getting an R/WL if class is full.
22:12
The lack of decisions this cycle is really odd
22:13
There were a lot more waitlists this time last year as well, seems to me only ED only really has received waitlist decisions but I could be completely wrong
Yeah there was like 0 pending this time last year, everyone got like dumped on the WL within a couple days
Guys, is it too late to apply
11:24
Nope. Their priority deadline passed but you have til July I believe to apply!

Since they don't respond to applications with LSATs below 165, I think if your LSAT is below that there is no deadline. They will gladly take your application fee and then ignore you.
With all the withdraws does anyone think they will give more scholarships to others after the seat deposit?
9:33
You should be able to ask for reconsideration at that point I would think
21:25
they went to the top of my lawhub today, hopefully I get a decision soon
13:09
Accepted!

They strongly dislike second gen+ law students, double Nole’s, and applicants who are not at or above both medians. They are okay ab splitters.
