Echoing what others have said-- if you're confident your essays and LORs were strong, you probably did just apply too late. All those WLs mean you meet their requirements for admission, and they just chose others over you (maybe because of timing, maybe because of now WE)

Yeah I applied in February, and while I was lucky enough to get into three schools (one of my targets) - I attribute it to a solid LSAT score in January, the application cycle would have looked a lot different if I had gotten my shit together and applied earlier

My family won't accept me not being in college, even if it's to get relevant work experience, they think the moment I start working I'll give up wanting to go to law school, which is why I'm choosing masters

I also applied too late and I feel like an idiot for not having insider knowledge that 1-2 months early = late

ParallelAgreeableOrangutan

16:16

So prove them wrong

My plan if I fail this cycle, which is likely, is to do my masters and then try to get something better than my on campus part-time job, hopefully using the connections I've gotten at my internships, and that can be work experience.

Service industry folks have a v high rate of success in law school. It might seem counterintuitive but it's something to consider as well

I still have a few schools left to respond, including my top school, so not giving up hope yet. I'll try to ask for a job after I finish my new internship and see if I can do that while I do my 1 year masters.
