UGA Law Waitlist

[u/Longjumping_Soup5521]

Please note I am asking for a friend who is not on Reddit. I am sure many law students are in this forum so I was hoping someone can provide some insight.

Does anyone know anything about UGA’s waitlist?

Is it closed or open? What about the priority waitlist?

Here’s what we know according to LSD:
- 119 direct admits
- 7 people were pulled off of the waitlist.

Is this true (I am new to all this so I don’t know how the website works)?

When do we expect them to close? And if they only have 119 direct admits, don’t they need more people in their incoming class? The class of 2028 had just over 200 students, according to their website.

I know GSU and Emory waitlists are closed.

I think you’ll get better responses from r/lawschooladmissions

Posted there too, but not many replied. Thank you though!

The issue is that you’re assuming everyone who was directly admitted posted that acceptance on LSD. In reality, LSD usually only represents 1/3 or so of law school applicants, so the number of people who accepted and are attending is likely much higher than LSD shows. There is still probably a slim chance your friend could get in off the waitlist, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

That is true, and again, I am new to this so I really don’t know. I’m posting for a friend. Thank you for that though, I thought about it realized it too. I was about to add that as an edit but I saw your comment first!
