How do we think the waitlists are going to work this cycle
I think they’ll nab as many in state 168s as possible on the waitlist when the mid 170s people start withdrawing. Everyone else will likely get hosed. That’s my expectation.
these graphs are insane. did uga forget they're a public school
16:10
also the affirmative action is insane
Nice try troublemaker..
There's literally 5 reported As under the LSAT median. Is this affirmative action in the room with us?

Anyone send of LOCI yet?

heyo, for those of you who applied to UGA this cycle, I am applying next cycle in a few months and was wondering how many LORs we can submit with our application like 2 or 3? Also, I already wrote a personal statement, but how many optional essays are there? do y'all recommend doing all the optional ones too
you can submit up to 4 LORs, two required
always do the optional, and no way to know how many there will be in the fall
tysm :)
@THREATLVLMIDNIGHT: I will say I didn’t do any optional essays (I didn’t know any better and just thought they didn’t apply to me) and I still go in so I think they definitely help but I wouldn’t say you haddd to do them
sounds great thank you! i work full time so it's been hard to study for the LSAT; took it nov 2023 and got a 159 when I was PTing better but I'm gonna retake it in June so hoping that'll help me get admitted. I have a house like 40 mins from athens lol so it would def be good
Based on current trends
I would anticipate needing a 170 to get in next year
not saying this to discourage you
but that's the reality

@AberrantEconomicSwallow: Sent one today, I've been to visit a few times so I went ahead and sent it, hoping they'll remember me 🙃🙂
No, if you apply ED with a 166 or so they'll accept you
