Worth noting it's probably not 8 out of 174 people with CA as their goal - if someone goes to Cornell, they're almost certainly interested in NYC or open to it - but maybe 8 of a couple dozen that apply to CA

Alright, there’s probably some self selection but it’s not nearly as consistent as. Cornell—>NYC
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: how do you know? asking for a friend..
^^that a ton of people are getting off GULC WL
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
14:38
Gulc pulls a huge amount of people from waitlist every year
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

Gulc waitlist is the only good waitlist to be on with Harvard a distant second
15:29
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: do you have any easy to understand stats to show what you’re talking about? I know a lot of the data on here will show it if you’re smart enough to understand it… but alas I am not
15:30
Like approximately how many people get pulled, maybe specifics of off what lists (I’ve heard blanket statements of 33, 33, 33 and 50, 25, 25)

Does anyone know if GULC decisions ever come out on the weekends?
15:33
Cuz all I’ve been able to tell from the last few years data vs this year is there’s FAR more people on the WL and far less Rs. So I’d assume the odds this year aren’t gonna be nearly as good as previous years
15:35
@LegalUsername: I believe I have seen a couple people that said they had decisions on Saturdays but I haven’t seen a wave on Saturdays or anything on Sundays
LegalUsername
15:36
Ah thanks for clarifying

@jb2028: do you have discord? I wanted to ask you a question about something app related that is too specific to ask on here
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
15:56
Looks like roughly 5% of waitlisted applicants input As on lsd
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
15:57
That is deflated because not everyone who gets waitlisted updates after waitlist and Gulc filters their waitlist pretty heavily early on
15:59
What do you mean by filters early on?
15:59
Sorry I’m honestly really unfamiliar with their process so I appreciate your knowledge
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
15:59
You have to accept WL, attend their WL zoom, and pretty sure you need to write an loci too
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
16:00
So a ton of people with the WL decision will not be on the WL
16:00
do they release people from the WL commonly? Like send them a WL R basically
16:01
Or is it just internal
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
16:01
Yes they release a ton of people early on
16:02
Gotcha Ty! I ask mainly because I’m planning to ride out to at least August 1st in the hopes my odds improve so glad to hear my plan is at least feasible
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
16:04
They won’t always email you about dropping you but they will send official emails mid may
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
16:04
And then you will be in the narrowed down pool
16:05
Yeah I got the feeler and the follow up saying they’ll be in touch again the week of May 6th so I’m guessing it’s that next email that will tell if I’m still in the running (at that point) for sure or not
16:06
God this process is so stressful hahaha. Have yall seen how Reddit is lately I feel like everyone is trying to screw one another over it’s intense
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
16:06
Yeah LSA is a piranha pool
16:07
All the nice people got accepted and moved on, I had a troll that came in and shat on my results outta nowhere (it wasn’t my post or anything even related to me I was congratulating someone for getting in somewhere it was crazy)
