Apply to peer schools of the school you want to attend to have competing scholarship offers to negotiate with. In hindsight I would have applied to more schools for more negotiation leverage.

Attending University of Michigan

Do your very best in undergrad. Once your GPA is finalized, that’s it. Also, take your time studying for the LSAT. Do not take the test until you are absolutely ready.

Apply broadly, especially if your a splitter. Got rejected by safeties and accepted by reaches. Worth the $45 now for the potentially of tens of thousands in the future.

You probably have a better chance than you think you do, so don’t let fear of rejection stop you! Half of acceptances are above the median, but half are below too.

Only two things matter, LSAT and GPA. And GPA doesn’t really matter unless it’s 4.0+… Just study your heart out for the LSAT, trust.
