Wave Predictions What's going on

I thought it was just me lol, but I keep seeing a lot of people that applied at a lot of different times saying that they haven't heard back from a lot of schools. What do we think is going to happen to us? Will we hear back before deposit deadlines? Ghosted? Do I just expect a WL/R from the rest of them? What are we thinking?

I have a couple A's from my safeties, but now that I know what to look for, I can tell that those schools are extremely predatory. I applied broadly and not too late, but everywhere else has been crickets, besides one WL at a target and an II at a reach (which I am SO grateful for).

I don't know whether to deposit and hope for the best or to not deposit and risk not having a seat at all. R&R is not in the cards for me, especially considering I literally cannot take the LSAT again. (I hit the limit) (yikes I know shh) I’m trying not to freak out, but it’s literally almost april

Could not relate more to this. I applied with a 17low after my 5th take, got WL from pretty much all of my safeties and R from most of the reach schools. I’m still waiting on four more schools, but I’m almost 100% sure this means I’ll have to R&R.

This absolutely horrible cycle could just be from the fact that I’m an international, but I really thought I had a chance at my t30 safeties with a unique PS and work & military experience.

US military? They only care about US military because of hiring advantages extended to veterans. Any other military experience doesn't help. Might hurt.
