Split-gineer's wisdom

Because of my GPA, I scared myself into believing I had to achieve a perfect LSAT score and delayed testing for almost 4 years.

The forums and the chat can be useful, but they can also be harmful. Know your limit. If you start to doubt your worth, your chances, yourself.. UNPLUG.

I did not pay for study programs or for application help, but I did have some great friends who helped keep me sane after reading my materials for the 1000th time.

I regret applying to such a large spread of schools. Please learn from my mistake and use the data to better guide your process, especially if you are a STEM splitter. If I were to re-do this process, I would apply to all T14.

I wrote a trauma-based grade addendum that provided context to my GPA. I also wrote a short C&F regarding a possession of drug paraphernalia misdemeanor, which I thought FOR SURE would be a huge barrier to cycle success. Turns out I spent many a sleepless night for naught, and I hope writing this will assuage similar anxiety-ridden applicants with C&F issues.

Use law school transparency (LST) and read the 509 reports. Ask about LRAPs if you are interested in public interest and always try to negotiate scholarships.

You can do this!
