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)

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)

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

I'm so glad I'm deposited somewhere I'd be reasonably happy to go to, even though I'm going to wait out some waitlists. If I were waiting out waitlists without any As, or any As at schools I have the slightest interest in, that'd be rough.

@eggbagel: that’s a very good sign and based on what I’ve seen people say they’re quick with their turnaround time on giving out a final decision following interviews at this point in the cycle (uva) so congratulations that’s amazing!

Can’t speak for T14s, it’s definitely possible to get As with a 3.8 in the T30 range.
