Listen, O my children, and heed my advice: Remember, O my children, that pride goeth before the fall. Each of us is a unique mix of talents and weaknesses. Learn to distinguish one from the other, and your GPA will flourish. Remember, O my children, to prioritize mental wellbeing. A fool is the one who fails to…

Don’t compare yourself to others, especially strangers on the internet. Just because something is right for someone else doesn’t mean that it’s right for you. Don’t apply to 20+ schools just because someone else is. Don’t count yourself out from applying to top schools just because someone else said that your stats…
Stay the course. You will make it someday. Just remember that you’ve made it this far, and it’s just a bit farther now.
The lord will open the doors, just have faith. Love Jesus.
“Believe in the me that believes in you!”
when the chile is tea but the finna is gag sis i’m dead as a chile below is what happens when you apply late aka in a frenzy late-January to early February (waitlists lol)… if you’re in the same boat as me, make sure you apply widely. UT was kind of spur of the moment based on my Feb LSAT result and it’s where I’m…
Going off private for my fellow splitters and my fellow splitters only <3
Focus on what you can control. Keep an eye on your long term goals, and find reasons to be grateful for where you are now.
I was convinced going into the cycle that my KJD status would completely bar me from the t 3-5 schools, but I’m happy to have been wrong. Work experience is the right call for many people, but if you have high stats and have had exposure to legal work, I think you can have some confidence going in. A few random…
Just a note I wanted to make for future lurkers, if any: I know my stats are not perfect. I know my LSAT is not T14 worthy. I just wanted to apply to schools that I dreamt of my whole life so that when I’m 40 & hopefully working my dream job, I don’t have any regrets of what “could’ve been”. I got fee waivers for…
“Applying early” is essentially a myth. Just apply before Thanksgiving. DO NOT RUSH YOUR APPLICATIONS JUST TO BE EARLY. It will probably only hinder you and give you little to no boost in applications.
Control the controllables.
Formulate your narrative. Know your narrative. A great story trumps good scores. Shoot your shot. You have nothing to lose. Don’t let your scores determine where you apply. When you can’t win by being better, win by being different. Stop asking other people where YOU should apply.
All it takes is one! Apply to more schools than me–I was stupid. Additionally, really focus on that personal statement, resume, and letters of rec. With such a competitive cycle, that’s what got me into UVA + being a really good fit, rather than LSAT/GPA. When it comes down to it, schools will evaluate you…
