I think for reverse splitters it’s all about selling yourself through WE and essays. I meticulously planned how my WE would feed into my ‘Why Law,’ and I think that ended up setting me apart from other applicants. Secondly, if you’re any kind of splitter, you need to apply early. If you’re past the Thanksgiving…

At the end of the week, print all wrong answers and review, make notes etc. Do this until you achieve uninterrupted streaks of 175+ Get your applications in on time. Don’t slack off in undergrad.

What’s meant to be will be. Keep your head up!
