I got fee waivers for every application except BU at the LSAC virtual fair. All you have to do is visit the school’s virtual booth and ask their admissions people some questions about their program. Don’t be weird and just go in and ask for one right off the bat, chat with them. They are full of useful information.…

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.
got some fee waivers so applied to some places I wouldn’t have otherwise. we’ll see what happens! Updated Mid-cycle advice: the only thing that matters is the LSAT. anyone can tell you otherwise, but if you get a 170+ above, you’ll be in good shape. If I could do this whole thing over, I would spend much more time…
shooting my shot, wish me luck & God bless! 🫶🏼
Shoot your shot! don’t feel like you’re crazy for knowing where you belong. I’m below 25ths at every school I’ve applied and have been pleasantly surprised thus far. There is no shame in recognizing your weaknesses as equally as your strengths. I’ll most likely R&R, but I’m glad I at least took the chance where I’m…
Don’t trip chocolate chip
I think that a solid scholarship from a lower ranked school is better than less/no scholarship from a high ranked school!
makingcashwithmyhandout left no wisdom for posterity… (◕︵◕) Ran out tbh frfr take time on essays. I feel I rushed a lil and found mistakes upon reviewing. I also found out i got cheated on a week before apps opened and that SUCKED. #noregerts but i was lowkey submitting apps while manic maybe?? beware on who you let…
After three attempts at the LSAT, my lsat score is a 160. I tried my best, all that I can with this test and am just gonna let fate bring me the results. As long as you tried your best its all good. I went from a 129 diag to a 160 which is 31 points higher. First half of my studying (8 months) was done while in…

Attending Loyola Marymount University—Los Angeles
For so long I was shooting for T30 schools. I was obsessed with prestige, thinking it was everything. Now, I am grateful that wasn’t really an option. I go to a “lower ranked” school, but with a scholarship that is basically paying for my entire tuition. My scholarship is conditional, but it keeps me motivated in…
Sent in “public interest” essays for pretty much every school (minus Columbia) WL at UCLA–> sent a LOCI early/mid April WL at BU, GW–> withdrawn WL Columbia—> sent LOCI NYU HTE 1/28 and then rejected April 15th (waiting 6 months for an R is CRUEL NYU) Accepted at Northeastern with a full tuition scholarship…
I wish I only applied around the area I want to practice in. I’m only considering full tuition. I wasted a lot of time applying to East Coast schools that, in my heart, I’ll never go to. I feel like I couldn’t have had a better outcome even if I had scored higher on the LSAT. I slightly regret even taking it twice;…
Take your time building your applications and your resume and personal statement. Law schools say they issue admissions decisions on a rolling basis and that review takes 4-8 weeks, but this is untrue in most circumstances. The only school that got back to me within that timeframe was ASU. So it’s okay to take your…

Look at your target schools scholarship data for last year, get a good idea of what kind of lsat score you need to get $$$$, and don’t take the lsat until you’re consistently hitting that range on your practice tests. You can also write in different colors in this wisdom section lmao.** I wrote all that in black…
