Michigan, Yale, and Columbia status checks don’t work. Penn and Chicago’s are a mess that continually “update” with meaningless format changes.
Good luck with your applications :)
I tailored the last paragraph of my personal statement to each school, and I believe that contributed (in part) to the scholarships I received.
Wrote optional essays, GPA addendum, and opted into any interview possible. Stay off the reddit and trust your gut, not internet strangers! :)
u/WordyGorl on r/LawSchoolAdmissions if you want to chat about my cycle :) PI goals & hoping to clerk, which is why I am attending Duke!
Don’t apply after the priority deadline – probably ever – but especially don’t when unknowingly applying in a cycle with 33% more applicants.
Applied with a 165, heard back from UC Law SF, WashU, Michigan, UCLA, and GULC before getting a 168 on the January LSAT (score release on 2/5).
You’re never too old to start over.
fuck it we ball
Grind the lsat, it’s learnable. Apply earlier than I did if possible. Write all the supplementals (I didn’t do any and you can see results).
Have fun, proofread essays, and space applications out to avoid burnout especially if your applying in October and November. Best of luck!
A lot of scholarship, location, and support system factors made Nebraska an easy decision for me and I love my interactions with Dean Moberly.
Do what’s best for you. Write Why X for schools that you are actually interested in. Write a diversity statement if you have something to say!
If I can do it, so can you. I thought I wasnt going to get in anywhere with my stats. Still waiting on several more schools but super blessed.
You will go where you are meant to go. Just try your best, and even if it doesn’t work out the way you wanted it to, you will have no regrets.

Don’t get dragged into a shitty major your parents want you to do, do something you like. Admissions seem to not give a shit about your major.
