AngryRoastedCheetah's wisdom

Here is a poem I wrote about obsessively checking lawschooldata while having self-awareness about how silly all of this is:

how odd it is to be a data point
made up of many more data points
closely watching all the other data points
made of their own data points.

this site, Reddit, and your written app can never fully capture you in totality especially because this is part of the ride, not the destination.

for what you actually came here for —
studied a lot for the LSAT bc knew I was going to be a splitter. I have three takes total, the first two were 16low. It took me like a month to learn the material/concepts and then many many months to become consistent such that I could perform under pressure. I got extremely lucky with the test form tbh. It catered to my strengths (games) and was gentle on my weaknesses (rc).

wrote some why berk, ucla programmatic, penn core strengths, why mich, 3 songs for Stanford.

i wrote scheduled tours (in-person and virtual) and wrote two LOCIs for UCLA and didn’t make a real effort with any other WLs.

regrets — I wish I would have applied later. Who’s to say for certain but I think another month and another draft of my PS and building a cohesive narrative would have helped gain me a few more As. I think the advice to apply as early as possible is vastly overstated. I also think I should have applied more broadly for more offers/potential negotiation.
