Just got the WL yesterday (3/14). Any tips on next steps? I know LOCI but shouldn't I wait until around seat deposit deadline to send that?

I emailed them and they said they'd recommend checking in every two weeks or so after their first deposit deadline (mid April). I knew I was going to withdraw anyway because I don't want to wait around on a waitlist decision and need to figure out where I'll be living in a few months, but I wanted to get more info to share with y'all if they were willing to give it before withdrawing. :)

Dear Admissions Office, I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to express my concern regarding the admission of LSD members at WASHU Law since March 3. Based on my understanding, WASHU has not accepted any LSD member since that date. Considering the importance of diversity in the student body, I urge the school to increase the class size and provide equal opportunities for all qualified applicants, including LSD members. I understand that the admissions process is competitive, but I believe that increasing the class size can help accommodate a more diverse student population and foster a welcoming environment on campus. Thank you for taking the time to consider my request. I look forward to hearing your response. Sincerely,
PeacockLaw

Hi, Thank you for reaching out to our office. Public posted admission data is only a small part of our process and story. We, like most law schools admit 3, 4, sometimes 5 times our planned enrolled class size of applicants each cycle. We admit the bulk of our class by February/March ahead of deposit deadlines to allow candidates to make an informed decision about which law school to attend. Of course the pacing of admits will vary from week to week and cycle to cycle. We work very hard to attract and admit diverse students, both racially and ethnically and we as diverse perspective to the class. Our JD class size does fluctuate quite a bit depending on the year. We have had a class as small as 220, a class as big at 270 and our current 1L class was 260. We are limited to a specific range of class size due to our classrooms, faculty and resources. We admit one of the biggest ranges of LSAT scores and GPAs of any top 20 school and pride ourselves on a very welcoming environment for o
