Admitted to Georgetown Universitystem, wrote most of the optional essays, life story is probably T1 but probably won’t add much to my limp gpa all it takes is one
For those I heard back from before withdrawing, I just wrote DS for UPenn and NYU and then DS+Top 10 for GULC and DS+WhyX for Vandy
Wrote no Why X essays. Only did Georgetowns Top 10 (did fav books) Did not fill out any financial aid after getting Harvard A
Disappointed in how little info there was out there going through this process, I’m committed to doing my part for the posterity
Crazy cycle and overall super happy with my results. I’ll prob come back here to talk about advice but for now… GO BRUINS!
KJD (putting in full-time employment during college removes KJD from LSD’s algorithm) Shoot above what you think you can make!
it’s all going to be okay! you will end up where you are supposed to, but this is a tough process. lean on the people you love.
if you have a dream, go for it.
Only applied to GULC but added which schools sent me a fee waiver. Applied for Northwestern waiver, the rest were sent to me.
For some reason I can’t change the info for Columbia, but I was put on reserve (basically waitlisted) at Columbia on 2/15/22
Write every optional essay you can, and give the schools a reason to admit you; do what other applicants are unwilling to.

Use 7sage, don’t do more than 1-2 tests a week, take a 4-5 day break every couple practice tests (so you actually learn).
Just graduated from NYU law a few months ago. NEVER COUNT YOURSELF OUT
Write those “Why X” essays. Seriously. Every single school I got the WL at (so far) were ones where I didn’t write one.
