Michigan, Yale, and Columbia status checks don’t work. Penn and Chicago’s are a mess that continually “update” with meaningless format changes.

Admitted to Georgetown Universityu/WordyGorl on r/LawSchoolAdmissions if you want to chat about my cycle :) PI goals & hoping to clerk, which is why I am attending Duke!
Applied with a 165, heard back from UC Law SF, WashU, Michigan, UCLA, and GULC before getting a 168 on the January LSAT (score release on 2/5).
fuck it we ball
Grind the lsat, it’s learnable. Apply earlier than I did if possible. Write all the supplementals (I didn’t do any and you can see results).
Do what’s best for you. Write Why X for schools that you are actually interested in. Write a diversity statement if you have something to say!
Honestly, I have to say one thing if there wasn’t a max at $400,000 on the scholarships amount that I am able to input, they would be higher.
This process kinda sucks but you’ll get through it. Try not to obsess too much and realize you can do great things no matter where you attend
Have a cohesive application that tells the story of you. Only check this site once a day or you’ll go crazy. Stay off r/lawschooladmissions.

Apply early if you can! I think I owe my acceptances to the fact that I applied in September before the giant wave of winter applicants.
All I can say is shoot your shot and apply to schools you can actually see yourself attending. DREAMS DO COME TRUE! I JUST GOT INTO UVA!
Just want to leave a word of encouragement for my fellow serious C&F applicants, you can overcome your past. Don’t let it hold you back!
I am a transfer applicant–that’s why my timeline is weird/i didn’t add undergrad info Law School Ranking in mid 30s, 1L GPA 3.88
