If 1 in 10 Harvard waitlistees in their class of 2027 get into HLS (average A % off the HLS waitlist), the school is better served by offering that student more $ than offering the other 9 in 10 more $ than they have to and the one that gets into HLS less than they need to

what do you guys think about the HLS WL? DO you think they're gonna give out a decent amount of A's still?

@NaughtyTeenyWeenyPebble: Looking at last cycle's stats, 16 people logged the date of their HLS waitlist offer and 6 of those were made by 5/19 (the other 10 came later). It's a small sample, and every cycle is different, but it's entirely possible more WL offers are coming

I deposited at Columbia but I just want to know if I should start looking for apartments or if I'm going to get an offer from harvard. so stressful

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

20:02

you kind of have to be ready to drop everything for harvard while going forward with apartments for columbia

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

best tips for studying for Lsat and Applications going into senior year? feel like im so behind but know thats just my mind

22:34

also tips while having a lower than outstanding gpa? My records show great progression though

1. Spend the time on the LSAT early, if you can hit your target score this summer it will free up lots of time for essays etc. later when things are busy

2. Depending on the schools you're looking at, being at/above LSAT median can be enough. The higher you can get your GPA, the better, but half the class is going to be at/below each median - that's how medians work

jb2028

22:52

If you're above a median (particularly LSAT median) and the other stat isn't way below, numbers alone won't keep you out. Past that point, softs/essays/recs are what gets you in.

jb2028

22:54

YMMV, it will matter what "lower than outstanding" means (3.7? 3.3?)

Can't start a fire. You can't start a fire without a spark. This gun's for hire. Even we're just dancing in the dark. You sit around getting older. There's a joke. It's wild and it's on me. I shake this world off my shoulders. Come on, baby, the laugh's on me.
