Admitted to Stetson UniversityGetting 4 points higher on the lsat than someone whos gpa is .5-.6 points higher becuase they majored in Communications and watching them get higher scholarships than me is infuriating. If youre in college, major in art, NUMBER BIGGER is all that matters, no degree of difficulty is weighed.
Get your phone addiction in check for the LSAT.
Graduating with my Bachelor’s a year early. I applied for the ‘21-‘22 cycle with low expectations due to inflated medians and an increased number of applicants; basically looked at it as house money. Now I’m using the extra year I would’ve spent on my degree to work and study for LSAT retakes.
APPLY EARLY AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SAFETY, TARGET, AND REACH SCHOOLS! Also pls be nice to yourself during this process. You are applying to law school and that is pretty epic!
Write those Why X essays… They make a big difference in terms of acceptances vs waitlists and scholarships offers. Apply to more reach schools than I did– you never know what’ll happen! Don’t doom scroll on Reddit. Make the best decision for YOU, even if it’s an unpopular one.
I hope you appreciate yourself for how far you’ve already come. For how graceful you carried yourself through the different seasons of your life. For the strength you held yourself with through every challenge that you had to face. For the hope you kept up during uncertain times.
APPLY TO LAW SCHOOL. Don’t let anyone discourage you. Go to the best school that gives you the most money!!!!!!! I will only be including the day sent and when I received a decision date because law schools will take years to get back to you with a decision.
Patience is a virtue!
“Ready” is not a feeling, it’s a decision!

if you are considering not applying, JUST APPLY!! YOUR LSAT SCORE is not everything!! Shoot for the stars. Also, taking a gap year is a great way to see if law is really for you, and to save up money.
-Non-URM SA Hispanic -save your money and do not aply to schools you would not go to unless you can use their acceptance to your advantage for scholarship purposes. -Good luck❤ All glory to God
It’s a lot easier to pick a school when you look at the monthly payments for a 10 year private loan with compounding interest.
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.
