This cycle obviously didn’t go as well as I hoped it would. However, my application had a number of substantial weaknesses, and I’m happy someone saw my value as an applicant. You can get into law school with a 2.X GPA/as a college dropout. That said, be realistic about your goals. Consider whether the school you…

Apply EARLY. Apply early. Apply early. When I first began researching the process of applying to law schools, the conventional wisdom from a lot of sources went that anytime before Jan. 1st was perfectly fine, and that even applicants submitting throughout January were not significantly disadvantaged. I think that…
Take undergrad seriously, even if you aren’t sure you want to do grad school, prepare like you would to get a good GPA. Take time off after undergrad to gain work experience. It will help you both as an individual and for law school applications. Take the LSAT seriously, and study for it. Don’t just wing it. Find…

The only thing worse than getting into law school is not getting into law school
Dearest @badgirlsclub, ’Tis with a heavy heart that I doth writeth this message. Whilst I value our kinship, thy constant berating and insults doth wound my heart and maketh me feel worthless. I prayeth that we may forge a friendship founded upon kindness and mutual regard. Know that I careth for thee, but I must…
When trying to decide on a school, trust yourself. You’ve done the research. Don’t let strangers on the internet pressure you into life-altering debt or going to a school that just didn’t feel like the best fit. You got this! :)
Hello! (◕︵◕) I’m going to try and document as much of my admission decisions as possible and leave some overall info once the cycle comes to a close! Definitely ballin a little high with most of the schools I chose to apply to but might as well try! Pitt: 1/29 First Acceptance! Got an email titled “Welcome to Pitt…

Apply for every fee waiver possible in the application process. Half of the schools that I’ve applied to already waived application fees and in other cases, just emailing them prompted an immediate fee waiver. Don’t spend more money than you need to!! Research every LSAT study material that you can. I do recommend…
I have been called to spread the One True Gospel to the people of Minnesota: the glory of The University of Alabama’s Athletics Department. But seriously, don’t be afraid to prioritize scholarships over everything else, especially for public interest folks. Being debt free (or as debt free as possible for people who…

The worst they say is no (or not respond)! I was able to solicit…
Apply wide. Really wide. Embarrassingly wide. Then let the dust settle and make the smartest boring decision available. Prestige is a fine thing until you’re paying for it with money you don’t have chasing outcomes that aren’t guaranteed. The humble path taken confidently beats the prestigious path taken anxiously…
Write your own obituary and think about the kind of work you want to be remembered by
Prestige isn’t everything; what really matters is happiness and making an impact in the lives of others.
Shoot your shot! Leave no stone uncovered and The one thing that helped me the most in my application was creating a strong narrative. My personal statement, additional essays, and resume all created a cohesive and powerful story as to why I wanted to be a lawyer! It helped me land specific program scholarships that…
