Do not stress for the first two to three months after you submit applications. You cannot tell how things are going to go; don’t bother thinking about them.

Don’t wait until January to apply to schools! I am purely a stats-based applicant. My cycle would turn out better if I wasn’t 20 and had work experience.

Ask for help for your personal statement. Study really hard for the LSAT. Once submitted, get off this website and wait for your emails to roll in! (◕︵◕)

Do not feel discouraged. Do not care about prestige. Think about what will work best for you. Compare yourself to who you were yesterday.

If you have all of your materials ready, apply as soon as possible! Also, do not apply to as many schools as I did - it was a mistake.
