twotime169's wisdom
Get fee waivers!!! I asked every school that didn’t offer me one, and I only had to pay 3 app fees.
Don’t be afraid to take the LSAT more than once!
August 2020 157 –> April 2021 166 –> June 2021 169 –> August 2021 169
(Use LSAT Demon!!! You won’t regret it)
Apply broadly and early. Pick a nice balance of safety schools (where you’re above both medians), target schools (right around the medians), and reach schools (under medians, above 25th percentile). Apply as early as you can with a good, complete application.
Don’t be afraid to write addenda! I wrote both LSAT and GPA addenda to explain the upward trends in both.
Write the optional essays! I wrote:
-Why Brooklyn
-Why Duke
-Top 10 List for Georgetown
-Northeastern co-op essay
-Why St. John's paragraph (it's designed as a question on the application, not like a separate essay)
-Why Berkeley
-Which Famous Person I'd Like to Have Dinner with and Why for UMichigan
-Why Notre Dame
-Why UPenn
-Also: did the optional interview for Northwestern
(update: also did the waitlist interview for Northwestern as well on 3/3/22)
Update: submitted LOCI for NYU and NW in late march/early april.
Good luck to you if you’re reading this :)
