Admitted to University of CincinnatiI did not write any additional essays for any of the schools I applied to. I only submitted the necessary application material with one addendum explaining my two LSAT scores.
Find a balance between employment outcomes and debt. A school outside of the top 14-20 is probably not worth 150k+ in debt, no matter how much you want to go there.
