Ah, the purgatory of waitlist. I totally understand. Right now I'm on the waitlist at BC, which was my first choice. Here's how I dealt/am dealing with it: 1) Bitched and moaned to boyfriend. 2) Repeated until was told to chill out. 3) Wrote a letter to waitlist school briefing them on wonderful things I've done since they originally received my application 4) Got excited about second choice school where I have been accepted and will probably go (Northeastern) 5) Call waitlist school periodically 6) Remain flexible and be able to accept that it could go either way. |

Not to make you more anxious. But if BC is your first change, Northeastern should definitely not be your second. BC is an amazing school. Northeastern just tries to bill itslef as a cool school b/c of its co-op program and public interest placement. The school is way liberal and the chance you will learn anything useful about the law is zero to nil. You'll just hear radical profs opinions on the evils of a capitalist society. Remember that it's third tier not to mention third
rate. This is all just my opinion. Do the research though before you commit.
