Tell us what's important to you
Thank you! Best of luck, fingers crossed for sure, I hope you get good news and soon!
u should update yours to say waitlist -> accepted. that way people can know that it’s possible to get off the waitlist
because as a fellow waitlister, I originally thought u got accepted not waitlisted at all so without opening the chat I wouldn’t have known I have a chance

Anybody else have luck with the waitlist?

Nothing after one month

I think we’ll hear soon since their email said to submit by june 17

losing all hope
Did you mean July?

In order to set yourself apart and express your continued interest in Wayne Law, please send an email to Jill Burnette-Maurice, Director of Admissions no later than Monday, June 17, 2024 that details why you want to attend Wayne Law and what you plan to contribute to our community as a law student and future attorney
Oh ! Maybe mine was different due to time I was waitlisted. I also was told to send it to someone else
12:17
Someone did tell me they received an email saying final decisions should come in beginning of august
Justvibin123
15:38
I received an email after following up on the WL from the director stating “ We are still in the process of finalizing our class and likely won’t have final decisions to every applicant on the waitlist until early August”
Justvibin123
18:07
Beginning of August is Crazy
Wonder how many they’ll actually admit off the WL…. Can’t imagine it would be much.
Justvibin123
10:29
I wish they would communicate with us about the WL
Justvibin123
10:30
I have been reaching out to admission constantly but I only receive a generic "all updates will be in your status checker"
Justvibin123
10:31
It is so frustrating because if admitted I would have to figure out living and the financial aid package I am offered, and as a school putting your first year student through that a week before class starts does not feel like you are setting them up for success
Justvibin123
10:32
sorry for the rant....
No, totally understandable. I was told not to reach out// bug admissions , so I have not even heard or sent anything.
Justvibin123
10:43
I was told that too by Reddit; etc., but I said screw that I want them to know how bad I want to attend
Same boat. Might have to reach out again. I really hope you get in! If not me better be you
Justvibin123
10:18
No I seriously hope you get in😭😭 I just don’t understand what’s taking so long at this point

I heard wayne is infamous for being slow and last minute, I didn’t wanna believe it but I do now
basbe

i’d like to know what school i’m gonna be attending before august 1st at the latest. especially since I applied all the way in december. so I definitely feel your frustration
Justvibin123
10:22
I have heard the same
Justvibin123
10:22
im currently in at MSU, and I would not mind going there I just want to settle in and sign a lease before foundations week
Justvibin123

But I really want to attend wayne
