It’s never too late to apply! If you think you have a shot (or even if you don’t) you should absolutely go for it. I applied to Stanford crazy late and the only way I can justify getting in is that these admissions cycles are total crapshoots. You and wonderful reddit have no clue what admissions are looking for and making guesses on what your decisions will be before you even apply is never going to help. My only advice is to learn from your previous applications. I started getting decisions in December and January and realized that one of my essays that I submitted wasn’t working the way I wanted it to (as my excessive amount of waitlists can testify) so I went back to the drawing board and started an entirely new perspective statement that ended up getting me into Stanford! The waiting is absolutely terrible but if admissions are still open, you still have time to decide where you want to go. Good luck to all of you future attorneys!!!
