Trying to get in UC Law School after undergrad
@UnevenInstinctiveSeal: Don't give up yet, they are still doing interviews (I have mine tomorrow)
Thanks! But considering my interview was over 3 months ago and I applied 5 months ago, it's hard to be hopeful. I'm expecting a WL/R I just don't know why I keep missing those waves.

Hey bobcat, take a deep breath. There isn't any reason to stress yourself out if you have three more years of school left. Try your best to get good grades, study hard for the LSAT and that is 90% of the game. during your next few years get close with a couple professors who can write you a LOR and if possible, do some sort of publishing whether that be a senior thesis or for some research. But there is no reason to stress so much right now.

trying to do your best or even a little less than your best is the way to go. sometimes you will work really hard and exhaust yourself trying to get a good result. 3 years is a long while!
