BigFudge's wisdom
Firm believer that wherever you end up you’ll be fine. After all, can you really say you planned every step of your life up to this moment here?
–
Some thoughts: I think ultimately the results show a weak personal statement/dragged down by subpar academic results on my part. I had banked on somewhat decent T4 softs + the 177 to get consideration in the T14, but oh well. Only real frustration I have is not knowing enough about the law school application process in high school, otherwise I might’ve stayed in the US to get a degree w/ GPA and also I would’ve taken the October LSAT and wouldn’t have applied in fucking February. No R&R: no point in getting a few points higher on the LSAT, want to get a move on with school, and I’m very excited to attend WashU - the vibes have been great in all my communication with them and everyone else who’s preparing to attend.
Shoutout to WashU for giving a lazy, burnt out gifted kid yet another shot I probably don’t deserve. Here’s hoping this time around I can take school seriously. All in on the WUSTL HUSTL!
