ImJustASquirrel '24–'25 app cycle Class of 2028 class year

If you’re still in undergrad, focus on building good relationships with professors who you vibe with. In my personal opinion I think rec letters carry a lot of weight. It’s the only other opinion outside of your own AOs can go off of.

Essays are ofc super important. I don’t think think the essay wrote itself over a few weeks. Over a few years, by applying to fellowships, internships, jobs, I little by little learned how to articulate my goals and narrative. And then when it came down to writing my PS it was just a matter of looking at all my experiences and figuring out a way to package it nicely into a two page essay.

LSAT: I have to say getting this score was God’s doing. Didn’t do anything to deserve it, but Jesus had grace and listened to my begging<3 Practically though, set expectations low and expect the studying to take time. Some people get their score in six months. Some people don’t. Everyone’s different you just gotta be patient.

I will say it helped a lot to get a 7Sage tutor. They correct bad testing habits and help you form a testing strategy. I realized I had been flagging the wrong questions and spending way too long on questions.

I tried the loophole it did not change my life, but it did help me read correctly.

Another thing I realized too late – read RC passages and questions like they’re LR questions. I realize I hadn’t been giving RC passages the same focus and rigor I had been giving LR questions.
