I will add more details about my application once the cycle is over. I have a few parts of my application I wish I had been able to access more information about before I submitted mine, and would love to leave wisdom for future applicants like me. (Will at least include more info on my non-traditional applicant status, work experience, LSAT, and C&F.)
For the most part, though, this whole process can be so unexpected. Take it easy on yourself. Have ice cream on hand at all times. Take advice from those corny quotes in Dove chocolates, they really can help. Last but not least, once I am ready to self-dox I will link my break up bops playlist that has truly helped me through all of these ups and downs the most.
