if you haven’t heard back in 3+ months, it’s probably an R/WL - as evidenced below. exception is san diego… idk what they’re doing.
Only two things matter, LSAT and GPA. And GPA doesn’t really matter unless it’s 4.0+… Just study your heart out for the LSAT, trust.
Re-applicant from last cycle. Spent the whole spring and summer studying for the LSAT, took it in August, and improved from 161 to 168.
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.
Be the person you want to be, now
Don’t stress about cycles, it is completely relative and unpredictable. Look at my scholarship from Seton Hall and my WL from Temple…
Canadian other-Asian ORM. Schools seem to like splitters less and less as cycles get more competitive. Grind for that GPA kids.
Take the test five times, get the best score you’re capable of, and apply broadly. Don’t limit yourself to a “local” school.
You are more than your LSAT score. A school can’t chance you if you don`t apply, so take a chance on yourself and apply to the school!
I found brand new ways of procrastination that I never could have possibly imagined before the law school process… don’t be like me.
I am a transfer applicant–that’s why my timeline is weird/i didn’t add undergrad info Law School Ranking in mid 30s, 1L GPA 3.88

Be yourself! The schools that truly value who you are despite your stats will want you and be the best fit for you. Also, apply early.

10+ year legal professional trying to overcome the grades he got as a mentally ill 20/21 year old. You’ll never know unless you try.
I applied very broadly even to schools I was under median at and was pleased with my results. Always shoot your shot! It only takes 1!
The emotional vulnerability and big feelings that will arise AND how long it all takes.
Don’t apply until you’re 110% ready. Applying earlier with a lower LSAT will not help your chances.
