About & Wisdom
BrownTornadoFakename's wisdom
I left notes for some schools: Hover your cursor over the “Result” and “Scholarship” cells.
Main takeway: Focus on what you can change. You can’t change what happened in the past.
Softs: HYPSM undergrad (with tough course load + GPA addendum), prestigious post-grad fellowship, legal work experience, salient diversity statement
I wrote Why Xs for UVA, Michigan, Duke, Northwestern, Cornell, and Berkeley.
Resources I swear by: 7Sage (both the LSAT materials and the $10 admissions course), PowerScore Podcast, Spivey Podcast/blog.
Reddit is great for before you apply. But please stop using it after you do. Only use it after you apply if you need help w/r/t a particular school’s interview and/or scholarship negotiation process. Once you apply, try to put everything out of sight and out of mind for a while. Using Reddit and checking status checkers are unproductive and bad for your mental health.
Be kind, give to charity, check in on your loved ones, lie down in the grass at night and stargaze. Don’t let this process make you bitter, ungrateful, and/or a worse person.
