verbased's wisdom

Apply early, apply widely, craft a coherent narrative, and negotiate your scholarships aggressively.

Numbers get your foot in the door, the rest of your application gets you the acceptance. I think that is really shown in my results – my numbers were not competive at the very top, but I did well at schools where I was at or above one median.

Good luck, stay positive, and limit your time on here and r/lsa – there is a point of diminishing returns, and it comes sooner than you’d think!
