UChicago is actually a pretty cool school - never thought I’d end up there for PIL.
Disappointed in how little info there was out there going through this process, I’m committed to doing my part for the posterity
Crazy cycle and overall super happy with my results. I’ll prob come back here to talk about advice but for now… GO BRUINS!
KJD (putting in full-time employment during college removes KJD from LSD’s algorithm) Shoot above what you think you can make!
Don’t give up hope if your cycle doesn’t start out perfectly - mine didn’t end until May. LOCI really can make a difference!
12/06/2022: accepted by my #1 choice school 08/15/2024: V50 SA offer (market) always bet on yourself & apply early

Shoot your shot! And don’t panic, you will get into law school and do amazing things :) Feel free to DM any questions!
