Stay true to yourself in your application and apply early, so long as you do that the sky truly is the limit! Below are a few LSAT and application tips I found to be helpful: Tips for apps Ask for…

Admitted to Georgetown UniversityDefinitely the right decision to take the money, hurt like hell turning down HLS/SLS though. But Philly is great, the people Penn are fantastic—they all keep pushing “collegiality” but it is a real thing here—and the job opportunities are pretty much the same either way. Advice: don’t neglect your recommendation…
LSAT: 167 -> 168 -> 174 I used LSAT Demon + The Loophole (highly recommend both) GPA: 4.0/4.0 (top 1% – humanities classes only) softs: average for a KJD who knew they wanted to go to law school early (summer legal internship, legal research assistant, a handful of undergrad awards, a couple leadership roles in…
Once you’ve submitted applications, GO TOUCH GRASS. There’s nothing that refreshing your status checkers every 30 minutes will do for you — just go do something you enjoy! And yes, I’m waiting on my cooldown right now
My handle is the same on Reddit if you have any questions (or if you want to view my cycle recap which includes more about me), and do feel free to DM there (as I don’t check this often). Best of luck to you in your application cycle! I’m so grateful to have received the AnBryce scholarship, and I have a lot of…
It’s never too late to apply! If you think you have a shot (or even if you don’t) you should absolutely go for it. I applied to Stanford crazy late and the only way I can justify getting in is that these admissions cycles are total crapshoots. You and wonderful reddit have no clue what admissions are looking for and…
“I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange.”
Apply earlier than I did - my apps did not go out until end of January into 2nd week of February. This is too late and disadvantages you against equally or better qualified applicants. It also limits your merit scholarship opportunities as a lot of the money available is gone by then. Additionally make sure your…
Follow me; I’ll have some wisdom once I see how this cycle turns out lol. Atp, it’ll just be the blind leading the blind. UPDATE As the 2023-24 cycle is nearing its end, I am now wise enough about the LSA process to provide some valuable insight on what to expect. To preface this, let me begin by making it clear…
For future lurkers, the below are just my musings, so take them with a grain of salt! Reasons I think this cycle went well: Strong narrative focused on PI (and specifically public defense), reinforced by relevant legal internships- Active in undergrad extracurriculars. Did not expect this to help much, but it kept…
“If you are feeling disheartened, that you are somehow not enough, set your heart ablaze. Dry your eyes and look ahead” -Rengoku My cycle is almost over so if you are clicking on this I want to give you my thoughts. I had a very tough road to get here. In 2023 I was incredibly depressed, hated my job, was…
Take as much time as you need for the LSAT, start very early or reapply if you can/need to, and have faith in yourself! Only take the LSAT once you are getting practice scores that you would be happy with as official scores!!!!! ««< Good luck! **Harvard Interview: ** I am one of the few people who got rejected from…
Cycle Recap for the 24-25 Admissions Cycle TL;DR: Military work experience was a major boost. Targeted state schools to maximize partial veterans’ benefits. Thrilled to be attending UVA - was my dream from the beginning and so thankful it worked out. Preparation Studied for the LSAT on and off for two years, taking…
blackletterlaw left no wisdom for posterity… (◕︵◕) Do not let me and the advice I’ve written here deter you from going to law school (this is just meant to be as helpful as possible) and don’t let anyone (even adcomms) on the Internet or in your real personal life stop you from going if you have done the important,…
Spicy Potato Soft Taco is underrated, also utilize the value menu
someone on reddit told me i was “more generic than an extra from American Psycho”
Trying to be as detailed as I possibly can for posterity. **Stats Background: ** LSAT 172 (September) –> 179 October. -Didn’t write an LSAT addendum even though I increased 7 points in a month. Underperformed slightly on my first test likely due to lack of sleep the night before (I live in a loud area of campus and…
