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

I have two undergraduate degrees from a small, low(and I REALLY mean low)-ranked state school. I worked 3 jobs during, and did an internship abroad in a country that is not stereotypical for my current field.

I have some very unique work experience in a highly nationally ranked (purposefully vague here) institution.

I am bilingual and have basic knowledge of a 3rd highly in demand language.

Member of the LGBTQ+ community (bisexual).

My Diversity statement was on family adversity (most of my family members have chronic conditions and while mine is minor theirs are NOT) and I tied these conditions and my understanding of them to how I can contribute to a diverse and uplifting community.

My strategy this cycle was to apply to as many schools as I could stomach and see what sticks. Truthfully, though I am now stressed about where I should go, I DO feel like applying to this many schools saved me a lot of overall ~worry~. Many schools have been wildly unpredictable based on previous admittance patterns and at least I know that I will be a lawyer.
