I got fee waivers for every application except BU at the LSAC virtual fair. All you have to do is visit the school’s virtual booth and ask their admissions people some questions about their program. Don’t be weird and just go in and ask for one right off the bat, chat with them. They are full of useful information.…

I don’t think it helped that I applied early - the cycle was slow and I heard back later than others with better stats. If you’re debating taking the LSAT again, take the LSAT again. Get money not waitlists. I suffered from having an international gpa (see lowball $cholly offers from Brooklyn and Cardozo) and a…
Apply before December. Makes a huge difference. Also - be yourself on the essays - let your personality show. Lot of people with similar stats are applying here, make your essay standout (not in a controversial way) Don’t be hard on yourself or take rejections/ WL personally. You are not failing if things don’t…
reapplicant from last cycle. was waitlisted to 12 schools (ranked from penn to american), rejected to two (harvard and fordham), and accepted at lewis & clark with a small scholarship. after talking with current students in public interest they convinced me not to attend. i applied w same gpa but a 164 lsat. retook…
Considering my stats, I believe myself lucky with how my cycle turned out. If I had to provide any wisdom for those applying to law school, you should invest as much time as you can in achieving a high LSAT score (novel idea, I know). Seriously though, it’s always hard to talk about improving GPA and other softs, as…
Took the March LSAT and requested for most schools to hold my application until the new score was released (March 30th). Did worse on that one so really just made me an even later applicant. Should have went forward with my first score anyway, as late March left me for dead regardless of the score. My main advice…
I concede that statistics–GPA, LSAT–matter greatly; however, don’t let this hold you back from aiming higher. I spent ample time on drafting my PS, DS, and “Interest” statements; telling each admissions committee my unique story that didn’t necessarily project an answer to “why I’m a good fit.” I simply told my…
Don’t be afraid to fail. For the longest time a fear of failure ruled my life. If I hadn’t overcome that, I wouldn’t be here today.
Good luck yall! For my engineers out there applying with lower GPAs, just nail the LSAT…I know you can. Also go where you feel like you are most appreciated!
Don’t let anyone talk you out of your dreams, and don’t let anyone talk down on your accomplishments. You made it on merit. All the best and congratulations :)
write all optional essays spend time cultivating a strong narrative connect with current law students at the law school you’re applying to if you use reddit, use it with discretion attend info sessions for the schools you’re applying to write your essays the summer before so you have time to edit them and get them…
Feeling overwhelmed? Take a break from this site and Reddit. Touch grass. You’ll feel better. I promise :) If your school does need based aid PLEASE apply for it! I thought I would get nothing but USC threw 2k/year my way. Things that I thought were worth it: 7Sage one-time personal statement edit- LSAT Demon (Their…
Wrote “Diversity Statement” “LSAT addendum” and “Why School” for all. Some schools’ “why school” were incorporated at the end of personal statements. Late applicant, because my internationa transcripts’ CAS evaluation took my several extra months, due to COVID-19 policy changes in my undergrad school’s archive…
Don’t ever stop fighting; don’t ever give up
The earlier you can start planning and setting goals for your future the better. Knowing that I wanted to go to law school even before my first day of undergraduate helped me prioritize school and my GPA throughout my college experience. Also, real-world EXPERIENCE is worth its weight in gold. Beg, borrow, and…
Did not write a why X for ASU. Look at my gpa. If I can do it you can do it! I worked very hard on every aspect of my application, including meeting with adcoms and doing every info session. It also took me 3 years (and 6 reportable scores) to get the LSAT score I wanted. Don’t give up, know your worth, and an extra…
You only need 1 :-) Reddit is full of people who have no idea what they’re talking about. Trust your advisors, listen to podcasts by adcomms, and BE. YOUR. SELF!!! Don’t overthink it. Be clear, concise, and genuine. Those three things are the key to any successful application. Note: It’s very natural to feel like…
