@BarryZuckercornEsq: Oh I'm referring to people who are doing some kind of fellowship etc. abroad (Peace Corps, Fulbright, etc.)
17:20
Not to mention international applicants
17:20
i was in seoul during the last waitlist info session so i didn't join
17:21
Agreed that anyone who misses an info session because they're on a long European vacation will be fine
17:21
Or EMEA vacation in this example
17:22
i wish i had the money for a european vacation
you will once youre a federal atty
17:24
i plan to go in public interest, i wont have that kinda money lol
omg same
I also don't feel bad for Fulbrights. They'll be alright
17:24
i'll be lucky to afford a home lol
17:24
omg yess
International status generally being a debuff sucks tho for sure

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

17:27
Or maybe it's because I got it yesterday?

17:27
yeah they happened a while ago
theres one for NU coming up
17:29
Georgetown waitlists 4000 people a year, they basically have to divvy the waitlistees up across multiple sessions over time
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
17:30
Imagine being the admissions staffer(s) who need to monitor Q&A for a 4,000 person zoom
USNWR needs to just bump schools back 20 places if they waitlist more than like 10% of apps
17:32
Penn Purge, the reprise
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
i didnt get it but i believe i received the wl notif after the email went out which like, fair
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)
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)
17:38
But even understanding why schools do this, the result sucks for anyone on the WL
kimchi queen if you see this im sorry but i dont have the talent to paint birds on my nails and i have shaky hands today so i went with skittle nails
