Attending Cornell University

First, I’m applying the 24-25 cycle with a GRE only. Assuming I get off of 0 waitlists (as I write this, I have at least 6), it would probably be time to retake and reapply with an actual LSAT. Don’t use Blueprint unless your diagnostic is already 160+. I’m going to use LSAT Demon to try assuming I don’t get one…
