<p>I got accepted to St. John's but got placed on a waitlist for Seton Hall. I'm really disappointed because I wanted to go to Seton Hall, so I'm asking for some advice. I'm still hoping to get off the waitlist and get in, but I have to be realistic (some of my friends have already heard they've been denied from the waitlist so I'm assuming I may be also): If I got waitlisted this year (I applied late because I took the February lsats so I'm not sure if that could have been a factor) if I retook the lsats and got a better score (I only took them once and got a 155) if I applied to Seton Hall for next fall would I have a good chance of getting in? Or would it be worse because I have previously applied? Do you think it is a better idea to just go to St. John's and forget about Seton Hall? Everybody is telling me Seton Hall is a much better school than St. John's. What is your opinion? Thanks.</p>
<p>are you getting money from St. Johns? Where is it that you ultimately want to work New York or NJ?</p>
<p>I’m only getting a very small amount of money for St. John’s (really almost nothing lol)…I’d rather work in NY than NJ. But right now I live in NJ and would be able to commute from where I live to Seton Hall. </p>
<p>Another thing I was hoping somebody could answer for me:
If I got waitlisted this year (at shu) and I apply again next year does that give me a better chance, a worse chance or does not make a difference at all in regard to my chance of getting in? Thanks</p>
<p>Don’t know. You are suppose to be able to reapply without prejudice meaning that your getting waitlisted should not be held against you. When you resubmit your application think about what you are going to do differently. you will need to do new essays and possibly get a new recommendation. Have you considered retaking the LSAT?</p>
<p>Generally, if you are waitlisted for a law school and reapply the very next year, you are unlikely to have any change in outcome unless there is a change in your circumstances. Have you retaken the LSAT (although, of course, some schools will want an explanation of why you felt the need to do so)? Have you obtained a graduate degree or work experience during the interim year? You would be well advised to show how you have added to your qualifications during the year following your application.</p>
