RaiseYourCanes's wisdom for future generations

I think the reason I did very well despite being KJD and below T14 LSAT median is that my application heavily centered around a cohesive theme (basically my Why Law) which tied together every single part of my application. My personal statement, diversity statement, resume, and school supplemental essays were all related in some way.

Always remember that this is a marathon and not a sprint. The anxiety of waiting for decisions can be excruciating at times, but in the end, you will end up exactly where you need to be.

Never doubt yourself!!!!!!!
