Bro, they alllll have formulas for scholarship/aid/grant max eligibility based on your income lol if you make 50k for 3 months work in the summer, you may have some contributions for tuition lol
im getting this by pulling it out of my ass and sprinkling vibes on it but i would bet it's to encourage you to stay on the waitlist by being like "youre on the special one"

My guess is that they’re doing what GULC does and using the waitlist tier to entice the candidates they’re most worried about withdrawing

@Mountaineer99: It's probably NYU, not CLS. I have a hard time keeping them straight.

Or it could be a psyop lol like “this will make em stick around til august when we reallyyyy need to fill 20 spots from yield projection failures” lol
but i remember someone saying that usually they try to maintain whatever percentage of whatever type of applicant in their class that they want. like if they want x amount of PI focused applicants theyll look for that first regardless of if theyre on the special or regular, or for a certain LSAT/GPA median, age/level of WE, etc
people who want big law? what were your essays like? genuinely no hate, but i don't know how i would write one of those. Like im passionate about mergers and acquisitions.. lol. but forreal, i'm jw
i made a PI-focused application but i imagine being like "i like tough challenging jobs and working hard and i appreciate the law and helping the world run smoothly"
