Waitlisted Students

We appreciate the time and effort invested in your application and value your continued interest in WVU Law.

Next Steps

Review the information below to get an overview of next steps and our typical waitlist timeline. Have more questions? Check out the Waitlist FAQs.

Waitlist Response Form

In the spring, waitlisted applicants will be asked to submit a Waitlist Response Form indicating continued interest.

Letter of Continued Interest (LOCI)

Applicants may email a PDF LOCI to wvulaw.admissions@mail.wvu.edu. Include your name and LSAC number on the document.

Application Updates

If any part of your application has changed (resume, transcript, recommender updates, test scores, etc.), please send updated PDFs to wvulaw.admissions@mail.wvu.edu. Applicants in their final year of college should ensure updated transcripts are submitted to LSAC so an updated CAS Report can be issued.
