Franco123 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) I ended up calling and I was waitlisted I think applications are up a lot this year. I also don't have a lot of policy work experience (other than a 4-month stint in government) Edited March 5, 2021 by Franco123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely are, which is crazy. Never fear, there's still hope! I am about to call -- did they say when we could expect this elusive email? Should I be holding off or call too? Any insight there? Franco123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeus23 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I called and they said they were fixing it. Lol- when you have an assigned release date, how do you mess this up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPPNYC Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Just received my email -- it also went to my Gmail promotions box, FYI Waitlisted. A little surprised, but yeah, a rough year. To those of you also WL'd -- I'm a glutten for academic punishment I guess and have actually already attended law school and have been out many years. I applied for admission to the Fall '09 term, which to this day is still the most competitive year of LS ever thanks to the '08 crash. Lots of people were waitlisted and got off the waitlist at many placed (myself included!). Things just need to shake out and the schools don't entirely know how to adjust give the increase in applications. TL;DR: It's not over 'til it's over! Good luck!

otterman Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Just got my mail and I'm waitlisted as well. Feeling a bit sad. But there are quite a few other schools I've applied to and I'm sure many of you have done the same as well. Maybe all of us waitlisted in this forum will end up getting accepted eventually and become classmates ? Stay strong and don't lose hope. And hopefully I can stay strong as well. Good luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemonginger Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) How does the funding look like for those who received it? UVA is one of my top choices. I am an international student, hence the COA is quite high even after a generous fellowship. Wondering if they offer need based aid or assistantships in the first year. Any thoughts?

I got 30K (no GA), which is definitely nice, but still places UVA as one of the pricier schools for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonginger Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Same here with me. Hope something can be done regarding this. Trying to decide between a cheaper but comparable school with Batten right now. All the best to you too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any reason to unless you have other options that you prefer. There's plenty of time to get off the waitlist. People will commit to HKS, Ford, Berkeley, and others in the next couple of weeks, opening up a few slots. It's way too early to pull yourself off the list, IMO.

moon08 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Hi all, I was waitlisted for Batten. It's my top choice and just happened upon this forum. Congrats to all that were accepted! And to those on the waitlist, hang in there! It's not easy, but you're not alone VBarahona97 and Ravine55 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBarahona97 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 to anyone who was admitted, did they give you a deadline on when you had to make your decision? I'm just curious to know when I will find out before I commit to another program. moon08 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravine55 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 FYI to those on the waitlist, they're calling around now making offers to waitlisted candidates. Just got my offer. VBarahona97 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
