MattJNeal's wisdom
-
Attended a large public California school for one year before transferring back home to a smaller liberal arts school in the midwest (regionally well known)
-Did have C&F issues regarding drinking citations from my school but not within a year of when I was applying (all from my sophomore year)
-Took LSAT Flex in February of 2021 after 8 weeks of studying 6 hrs/week.
Probably could’ve taken more time to study to get into better schools/scholarships but I really just wanted to get it out of the way more or less.
-Applied to 4 reach, 4 targets, and 6 safety schools because of fear around the hyper-competitive cycle of 2020-2021
-Applied to schools near or around cities/markets that I would want to work in (Boston, Denver, Chicago, Philadelphia, etc)
-Because of my LSAT and GPA I was no T-14 candidate so tended to be more liberal with where I was applying for safety schools to ensure good scholarships (Still mostly T-100 but tried to apply places with generous scholarships so I could renegotiate at a later date)
