Applied to ASU ED My entire goal since I started studying for the LSAT is to go to school there. I’m a non traditional super splitter. Wish me luck/pray for me
Bachelor’s in STEM major from a foreign country Currently doing master’s Submitted GRE (V160s, Q160s) along with LSAT A’s and R’s are pretty much expected…
My two cents: Apply far and wide if you can afford to do so. I had several surprises in my application results and was grateful that I applied to many schools.

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.
Know your strengths as well as your weaknesses. Originally applied to nearly all schools in September with a 160. Retook January LSAT for my current 167.
Don’t wait until January to apply to schools! I am purely a stats-based applicant. My cycle would turn out better if I wasn’t 20 and had work experience.
Ask for help for your personal statement. Study really hard for the LSAT. Once submitted, get off this website and wait for your emails to roll in! (◕︵◕)
Took the LSAT twice. First take got 168; Second take got 169. I was accepted to ASU, OU, and WashU with a 168. I was accepted to all others with a 169.

Good luck! If you are a reverse splitter really try to have a memorable personal statement! I think taking a bit of a risk there paid off for me.
