All I can say is shoot your shot and apply to schools you can actually see yourself attending. DREAMS DO COME TRUE! I JUST GOT INTO UVA!
I applied in the 2021/22 cycle and had some great outcomes, but ultimately ended up deciding to reapply and try again for 2022/23.
I submitted apps super late :(. Addendum for low GPA due to undiagnosed ADHD in college. I wrote every optional essay I could!
take care of yourself when applying or you will lose (or gain) 20 pounds
For some reason I can’t change the info for Columbia, but I was put on reserve (basically waitlisted) at Columbia on 2/15/22
Don’t believe all the naysayers and worriers. If you give it your all, you’ll succeed no matter what your GPA is or LSAT.
Wrote Why X for all schools. GRE only - highly advise not to apply to WashU. They are not friendly to GRE applicants.
I added a diversity statement to my application to every school. I also wrote Why X essays for UVA, Duke, and Berkeley.
Write your optionals! I was really lazy for most schools and paid the price.

You can do it!! Think about what your story is, and then don’t be afraid to revise and delete and start all over :)
Don’t be afraid to shoot your shot! Take your time really learning the LSAT and writing a good personal statement.
