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.
Poor undergrad but 4.0 in grad school
Never give up! If you have that feeling , that you want to go to that school do nt settle
Wrote Why X for my top choices, optional essays, and did requested, relevant addenda. Splitter but had some decent softs, there is hope for you!
Wrote optional essays, GPA addendum, and opted into any interview possible. Stay off the reddit and trust your gut, not internet strangers! :)
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).
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!
Most of your life is out of your control. WL at all Jesuits lmao (they must not have liked all of my PI talk) 19 years of public school LFG
If you’re reading this and yk who I am, keep it cool, but you see these stats I know you admiring…** **¯(ツ)/¯ I’m like that!!! -TD3
Have a cohesive application that tells the story of you. Only check this site once a day or you’ll go crazy. Stay off r/lawschooladmissions.

I wrote a “Why X” for every school at the bottom of my personal statement, about a paragraph for each. T3 softs because I did Americorps.
Wrote why x for a few schools but mostly added it to my personal statement. Not a URM, but my parents are immigrants from the Middle East.
