Imnotyourbloke '20–'21 app cycle Class of 2024 class year

If you are a splitter, apply as soon as possible. I applied in Oct but should have applied in September but was lazy. I also had subpar personal statements (if you are non-trad, focus on Why Law? and Why Now?).

I shouldn’t have wasted my ED on Berk as I knew I wouldn’t get in, but it was my top choice as a Bay Area person (current OR resident though) so I was stupid. If I could go back I would have ED to UCLA. I also would write better, more tailored applications and have applied to fewer schools.

I was set on UW but applied to Davis after the rest of my apps and they gave me a great scholarship (plus I will be able to get residency through AB 540) so the money difference was what made my choice for me. Davis is a good school as well, obviously, and the people in the administration have been amazing thus far, tied with Lewis and Clark as the nicest and most caring. I think I got the top scholarship to UW, but they are so stingy it just didn’t make sense despite being a great school in a great city. Median salary vs debt was a huge part of my decision.
