painfully-waiting's wisdom

Never expected these results - I am beyond excited to attend YLS!

A few notes:
I believe a key to my success was my strong focus on a specific area of law (reflected in internships, extracurriculars, leadership roles, etc). I emphasized this focus in every writing component of the applications.- Submitted 2-3 LORs from professors who knew me in both an academic and professional setting.

Attended a non-elite state school for undergrad.
