Wouldn’t it be awesome to know when schools will look to take applicants off of the waitlist?

We made a calendar for these but as almost all open on one of two dates, so the calendar didn’t really help much. Here they are listed, which hopefully will make it easier to find your school.

July 1: Baylor August 1: U Tulsa September 1: U Richmond, U Nebraska–Lincoln, U Kentucky, U Oklahoma, U Miami, U Denver, Case Western, U Missouri–Columbia, U Kansas, Cardozo, American, U Tennessee–Knoxville, U Cincinnati, U San Diego,

In this podcast, Spivey Consulting Founding Partner Mike Spivey talks about why law schools have admitted student programs, what you can expect from them, what you can expect from others at the event, and how to make the most of the visit. He also answers r/LSA questions and added a separate podcast here on one of the elements that the toll and pressure of admissions can have on people and how to alleviate that.
In this podcast, SCG's Mike Spivey speaks on what to expect for the rest of the cycle — including why it might greatly favor some people with strong softs this summer, thus making it a "Soft Cycle," but also why it has and will continue to be slow. Also discussed are two internal LSAC changes that will have significant impact for the rest of the admissions cycle and in future years.
Finally, the link Mike mentioned to the blog he wrote to those who are done and checking out of the admissions process – or just want a different take on things —can be found here: 10 Lessons Life Has Taught Me.
This is a very encompassing podcast that features the A to Z of the law school admissions process, starting with "Why am I applying" and finishing with scholarship negotiation and the three things that applicants are doing who are punching above their numbers this competitive cycle—with most everything in between covered.
Three other blogs/podcasts are mentioned during this podcast:
Also discussed: My Rank, Law School Transparency, and the Above the Law Rankings.
