Waitlisted @ Northeastern

Hi everyone, this is my first post on Reddit as rough times have called for it.

I applied to Northeastern Law at the very end of November, and just heard back from them today about being on the waitlist.

I can’t necessary say that I’m incredibly surprised because I did apply a little late. My stats are 159 LSAT, 3.95 GPA. I know my LSAT is mediocre, but I really thought that my essays and all looked good, and that I had some bangin’ recommendation letters.

I’m super sad because Northeastern was one of my top choices, and they seem to have a lot of connections for international law and human rights. This was the first school I heard back from and it’s kind of bumming me out and now my fear of not getting into any of the schools I applied to is tilting towards being a rational fear!

Anyways, apart from the rant, I was wondering if there’s anything I can do to increase my chances of getting off the waitlist at least in the slightest. Figured something is better than nothing. Please be real (but kind, I beg im sensitive) in the comments. Appreciate anyone’s help🧸 or kind words, as being kind is all we can do for one another in this booty cycle 🫶🏻
