Admitted to University of UtahTake time to study/reapply/get your shit together if need be! I feel a lot more ready to start law school now (2022) than I did when I applied for 2020. I’m looking at better scholarship offers, have more work experience, and more dedication to this path–good luck!!
Make your grade point average as high as you can. Take the LSAT at least two times. The LSAT takes work, but you can get better. Get people to proofread your personal statements.

I am a First-generation American and have been working as a paralegal in Big Law since right after graduation. I applied as early as I could in the cycle, which I think helped.
Don’t stake your self-worth or happiness on law school applications. Easier said than done, but I’m serious: this is the hardest part of the application process. Good luck!
Everything happens for a reason.

Take advantage of your undergrad, take classes that you are interested in, not just that are required.

Apply early, and make sure your essays are incredible. Best of luck!
I am not very interested in Big Law, so I didn’t apply to many schools in the T14. STEM majors, send it!
