About & Wisdom

Especially if you are a splitter or reverse splitter, I highly recommend applying across the board and pouring a lot of energy into your written materials. Craft your application story to an experience you had - whether it be a job, internship, campus organization, etc. - and parlay that into your interest in law at each specific school.
I got these results in spite of my LSAT score and not because of it. In hindsight, I wish I woke up a little bit earlier and stayed up a little bit later to get a higher score. Not that I am unhappy with my results, but a higher score could have landed me some better scholarships.
Reddit advice is generally advisable, but not the end all be all. I never gave myself a chance at a T6 based on what people on reddit were saying - but I applied anyway and here we are. APPLY EVERYWHERE YOU CAN. My one big regret is not applying HYS (just for the peace of mind knowing that I tried).
