What do law school applications look like these days?
The timeframe for schools making final decisions on students who are waitlisted
What should you do if you're on a waitlist and want to get off of it?
How many updates do you need to send to a school if you're on their waitlist?
At what point does it make sense to commit to a school and end the waitlist limbo?

Is it frowned upon to send a seat deposit while you're still on the waitlist?

To a different school? I'd image that's fine, since you may or may not get off the waitlist at the school you prefer. The downside is you'll lose the seat deposit, if you do get in elsewhere and decide to switch and go there. I'm talking to Anna Ivey later this week, so I'll get her thoughts and update if they are different!

@@LawSchoolToolbox My apologies. I meant is it inappropriate to send a seat deposit to the school you’ve been waitlisted at? For example, I’m about to commit myself to an institution I’ve been waitlisted at, and along with my letter of continued interest, I enclose a cashier check containing the seat deposit amount.

I don't think you would send that until you have a confirmed spot. But that would be a question for the school.@@tramayneyoung297
