Does anyone have any info on Vandy's waitlist? Does anyone think they'll start accepting people off the waitlist this week/ next week?

@TruthTheX: I did not submit a LOCI or attend the info session, but received the feeler today. I just withdrew.

AngelHairScreenager

20:14

@TruthTheX: how do you know that many people received that email?

TruthTheX

20:15

There goes my theory that only people that attended the WL info sessions recieved the feeler ty for the info Vibes!

2008YeVibes

20:15

I also was not on SPWL or PWL

2008YeVibes

20:15

Hope that helps!

TruthTheX

20:16

Sorry Angel I have no idea how many received it, just that based on one single reddit poll, seems like half the SPWL (that responded to this one poll) and then a handful from the PWL and RWL got it. No data that one could extrapolate from. All I can say is the answer is not everyone

AngelHairScreenager

20:23

Okay got it. Thanks! I received it and thought it meant there was a spot for me so I’m disappointed that many people also received it. :(

if its the same "feeler" email i got, i didnt attend an info session or submit a LOCI and got one

20:53

Ugh just learned about another person who got off the UCLA WL in state with exact same stats as me

Ijustwannagetinman

20:53

Feeling emo why can’t I get off

Ijustwannagetinman

20:54

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Ijustwannagetinman

20:54

Im not in state though

MightyUnableSphinx

21:04

i wonder how much being in state plays in your favor

MightyUnableSphinx

21:04

i'm an california in state splitter so if I get ucla and ucb then probably it is in your favor a good amt

Ijustwannagetinman

21:09

Being in state probably helps

Ijustwannagetinman

21:09

But will they please let me in😭😭😭😭

UC Berkeley and UCLA both state on their websites that in-state status does not factor into their decisions

jb2028

21:13

"Do in-state applicants have higher preference than those from out of state?" "You have an equivalent chance of being admitted regardless of your residency." https://www.law.berkeley.edu/admissions/jd/applying-for-jd-degree/faqs/#bb12-do-in-state-applicants-have-higher-preference-than-those-from-out-of-state-0

jb2028

21:14

"Is preference given to California residents?" "Not at all. Although we receive the largest proportion of applications from California, we seek to admit and enroll a geographically diverse class each year. Admission decisions are not based on quotas, and the goal of the Law School Admissions Committee is to admit the most compelling and talented candidates into UCLA Law." https://law.ucla.edu/admissions/jd-admissions/frequently-asked-questions#:~:text=Our%20general%20advice%20is%20to,geographically%20diverse%20class%20each%20year.

Contrast with, for instance, UVA: "Although Virginia Law is not dependent upon the Commonwealth for its budget, we do give extra consideration to Virginia residents during the admissions process." https://www.law.virginia.edu/admissions/admissions/jd-admissions/faqs

jb2028

21:19

To be very practical about the institutional interests in play, UC Berkeley and UCLA both get plenty of competitive applicants from CA and both want to have national reach and nationally competitive stats/rankings (which *disincentivizes* a strong preference for CA applicants)

jb2028

21:20

More successfully in Berkeley's case, 64% of UCLA's class were California residents last fall

Jb I would pay to catalogue all of your information and make it into a FAQ for this site

Ijustwannagetinman

21:23

I wonder if that’s true though bc it seems like in state applicants have lower stats

Ijustwannagetinman

21:24

And they get decisions faster

HorseyMed

21:26

They def give preference to in state apps

HorseyMed

21:26

They’re both two of the most vibe/fit based schools. Naturally they prefer people more likely to matriculate
