You only need 1 “admitted” decision to go to law school, so apply broadly—including safety schools.

Apply wide. Really wide. Embarrassingly wide. Then let the dust settle and make the smartest boring decision available. Prestige is a fine thing until you’re paying for it with money you don’t have chasing outcomes that aren’t guaranteed. The humble path taken confidently beats the prestigious path taken anxiously…
It’s never that serious
One of my loved ones reminded me recently how proud they are that I am taking this first step, and I (a random internet stranger) am proud of + admire all of you. Truly, **we worked hard to get here and will do/are doing what we can for applications. Sending good vibes! And I am manifesting that your application…
Red eyes, Jon realized, but not like Melisandre’s. He had a weirwood’s eyes. Red eyes, red mouth, white fur. Blood and bone, like a heart tree. He belongs to the old gods, this one. And he alone of all the direwolves was white. Six pups they’d found in the late summer snows, him and Robb; five that were grey and…
I can only attend part time in Boston area, so that’s where I applied. With my mediocre gpa, I believe my good LSAT and engaging personal statement got me acceptances and scholarships of various amounts. Top choice was Northeastern, but New England law gave me a full ride and I’d rather attend a low ranked school…
It was like pulling teeth to get Ohio State to look at my application. I knew it was a reach, but still. I emailed them, received a response a few days later that they would check with the admissions committee about my application, and I was rejected the next morning. Disappointed that I waited over three months for…
LSAT 167 GPA 3.67 2023–24 cycle
Attending Indiana University - Bloomington
Ask for fee waivers everywhere- , no matter what your stats are. I didn’t pay a single application fee and saved hundreds of dollars. This is a fairly predictable game. You don’t need more than 2-3 safety schools. I wasted time working on so many applications to places that I wouldn’t even want to attend. LSAT Demon…
Shot my shot at HLS and YLS but I realistically know I have no chances. I’ll just make memes about my rejections when I get them. International, coming from a somewhat obscure country. Some legal experience, two B.A. theses, club president. Dean’s list. President’s list. LGBTQ+. First one in family to even attempt…

Don’t let law school decisions determine your worth.
Life didn’t end when I got a 126 on my diagnostic and a 146 on my first LSAT
There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and say, “Morning boys. How’s the water?” And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes, “What the hell is water?”
Strong LORs from law school professors and law firm partner Foreign Trained Lawyer Worked as a foreign associate at a top tier firm LL.M. Graduate from T-14 law school Applied to a few 2 year advanced standing JD programs (for foreign lawyers) Accepted at UChicago as a transfer student
I graduated with an MPA from a top university with a 3.86 in August 2020 where I also received a full-ride scholarship. This experience and my active volunteering and being an activist in the community have increased my chances of getting accepted into law school with a low LSAT Score.
