PleaseKetchup's wisdom
Took the LSAT for the first time in Sep 2020. Not completely happy with the score but decided not to retake because the stress with test prep while juggling work was unreal. R&R wasn’t really an option, partially due to the stress, partially because of the professional ceiling at my current job.
Wrote “why X” for every single school I applied to. Didn’t incorporate “why X” into main PS for those requiring separate essays (Berk, Duke); in most cases wrote a short “why X” paragraph at the end of PS. Personal best was “why Berk” (the irony), but every single one was personal and decently researched.
Had an alum interview with GULC, no hardball questions, mostly just talked about why law school and why GULC; wasn’t sent the merit aid application form, had to reach out to admissions and ask for it;
Did NU Kira, six questions, was cut off while answering the first question but got back on track and timed the remaining questions ok; after initial aid offer, submitted reconsideration form in early April and was denied about two weeks after.
Didn’t do Duke English proficiency interview, submitted TOEFL score instead.
