Don’t burn yourself out!- I definitely did. Adding all my application stats here to hopefully help future years ppl compare when applying to similar schools and/or with similar stats!
Stats aren’t everything. Tell your story!!!
Don’t stress over your LSAT score. When all is said and done, no one is going to wonder what you scored on the LSAT while they sit in your office asking how you can help them.
Life is hard and pivioting is harder :)
Apply to a couple reach, a couple safe, you never know. I got a scholarship applying with the GRE and low GPA. Don’t underestimate your writing and recommendations.
Know your strengths as well as your weaknesses. Originally applied to nearly all schools in September with a 160. Retook January LSAT for my current 167.
I tailored the last paragraph of my personal statement to each school, and I believe that contributed (in part) to the scholarships I received.
Retook the LSAT and am following up with schools that waitlisted me as well as schools that offered to see if I can get more money.
Be yourself and remember your worth isn’t tied to a test outcome. We are more than our LSAT scores or trauma.
Don’t pay for law school and focus on having a clear message in your PS, resume, and letters of rec.
My name’s Lucy and I’m applying to law school so I can enter the hell that is American politics.
Reapplicant from 2020-2021 cycle. I had only Rs and WLs in the T30 last cycle. Don’t give up!
APPLY EARLY. Don’t wait like I did or you will screw up your odds at the schools you apply to.
Write essays early and consult people who know you.
