Every point matters. I’m about 90% sure I wouldn’t have gotten into UT if I had…

…and you didn’t write the optional essay, you will get waitlisted. At the highest-ranked schools that I was accepted to (Vandy/Northwestern/Cornell), I went the extra mile, attended webinars, and did the optional interviews/essays. For the schools that I felt like I didn’t put my all into the applications (NYU/UCLA),…

After taking the LSAT in January 2021, I applied to Minnesota on March 1st, 2021 (the only school I applied to during the 2020-21 cycle), and was waitlisted in early May. I knew it was probably because I had applied so late in the cycle, but it was still devastating and caused me to doubt my ability to get into law…

Shoot your shot! Application cycles can be unpredictable. Even if you end up at one of your top choices, it can still be a bumpy ride (looking at you, 5 waitlists). At the end of the day, I was lucky enough to get into my top two choices: Chicago and Virginia. Even with the gulf in cost of attendance, it was a…

…from your preferred school. Advice #5: Be proactive about waitlists. Send letters of continued interest, go to online seminars, maybe even call the admissions office if you’re comfortable enough. Otherwise, you’re likely to get passed over by those who do go the extra mile. If nothing else, you know you really gave…

Not sure how valid my advice is (see waitlists below), but here goes: Take the LSAT when you’re ready. Take your time with the essays. Don’t stress too much. It’d be nice to get into every school, but you only need to get accepted once to be a lawyer!

…Don’t leave anything to chance either. I got off the waitlist by being persistent. Multiple LOCIS, calling the admissions office frequently to check in, and sending in another LOR. That said, I also got a little lucky and blessed by God;) You odds of luck increase with persistence though. So be persistent!…
