Hope for the best but expect the worst.

I have 3-5 years of paralegal employment related to my career goals. I wrote all optional essays (did not write a “Why UVA”) and had a strong PS (but not memorable, probably) that I worked on for months. I think my LOR were insufficient for some schools - the professor I was closest to passed away since college and the other had not seen me in years (even though I asked for the LOR a year in advance of when I applied). So I only had one academic LOR and one professional one. I’m not staying on any WLs. Get your LOR early, but don’t apply KJD either! You’ll be better for at least a year of work/life experience.
