@BarryZuckercornEsq: Oh I'm referring to people who are doing some kind of fellowship etc. abroad (Peace Corps, Fulbright, etc.)

jb2028

17:20

Not to mention international applicants

menherachan

17:20

i was in seoul during the last waitlist info session so i didn't join

jb2028

17:21

Agreed that anyone who misses an info session because they're on a long European vacation will be fine

jb2028

17:21

Or EMEA vacation in this example

menherachan

17:22

i wish i had the money for a european vacation

manifestT14acceptances

17:23

you will once youre a federal atty

menherachan

17:24

i plan to go in public interest, i wont have that kinda money lol

manifestT14acceptances

17:24

omg same

BarryZuckercornEsq

17:24

I also don't feel bad for Fulbrights. They'll be alright

menherachan

17:24

i'll be lucky to afford a home lol

menherachan

17:24

BarryZuckercornEsq

17:25

International status generally being a debuff sucks tho for sure

There are waitlist sessions for GULC? I never got one after receiving the SPWL.

LegalUsername

17:27

Or maybe it's because I got it yesterday?

SplitOnMe

17:27

yeah they happened a while ago

manifestT14acceptances

17:28

theres one for NU coming up

jb2028

17:29

Georgetown waitlists 4000 people a year, they basically have to divvy the waitlistees up across multiple sessions over time

OptimisticOutlier

17:29

yeah I'll be logged into the NU one so they don't ding me for missing but no shot I'll actually be able to pay attention bc I'll be working

jb2028

17:30

Imagine being the admissions staffer(s) who need to monitor Q&A for a 4,000 person zoom

OptimisticOutlier

17:30

USNWR needs to just bump schools back 20 places if they waitlist more than like 10% of apps

Jojolebarbar

17:32

Penn Purge, the reprise

BarryZuckercornEsq

17:32

Everyone who was on the WL at the time got that invite but you might not have gotten it if you applied later

Re: GULC WL session

manifestT14acceptances

17:33

i didnt get it but i believe i received the wl notif after the email went out which like, fair

jb2028

17:34

It *is* somewhat tricky to plan waitlists, because there are a whole bunch of subgroups you need there. Not just the stats you need to tune and needs people fill (URM, veteran, regional balance, international, STEM), but buckets like "These are the specific STEM majors we might take if we have a bunch of STEM majors go elsewhere, and we've locked down our GPA median, and we need to shore up our LSAT median, and our aid budget is almost exhausted so we need people that would accept a waitlist A with minimal aid (not the 180s)

jb2028

17:38

And how much "padding" you need in your waitlist is inversely related to how patient applicants will be for that school (HYS can cover their bases with a small waitlist because most people on the list would drop everything and commit; Georgetown needs a large waitlist because a lot of people on their list will end up with better options)

jb2028

17:38

But even understanding why schools do this, the result sucks for anyone on the WL
