LSAT 172 GPA 3.99 2023–24 cycle

Attending University of Virginia

…difference in getting quick acceptances to UVA/GULC versus waitlists elsewhere leads me to think that schools are pretty good at sussing out an applicant’s genuine interest level. On the other hand, my stats definitely aren’t no brainers for the other schools on my list, so make of that what you will. I wrote the…

Attending University of Michigan

…LSAT score met or exceeded the median, and was rejected or waitlisted at those where I fell short.
