SharpShinyWalrus's wisdom for future generations

Took the LSAT twice, April 2023 and June 2023. Highest score was April.

Applied to every school by 10/31. Wrote all optional essays that were offered. Received all fee waivers that I requested.

Did not negotiate any scholarships or write any LOCIs for the schools I was waitlisted at.

Withdrew from WashU in late March - I interviewed in late Oct and was essentially ghosted. I had chosen a school already and elected to withdraw before receiving a decision.
