…minute to prepare your applications. Start working on them early, ideally submitting in January at the latest. Most regular decision deadlines start in February. Even if you’re preparing for the LSAT in January or February, try to work on your applications simultaneously. Quality, well-edited statements require more…
…LSAT - Start studying your junior year of college or even earlier if possible. Choose an LSAT learning program and stick with it. An overabundance of resources that all say the same in different ways will only cause confusion. Take the LSAT as many times as you need to. Most law schools only take your highest score…
I don’t have a whole lot to say except apply early and know most schools probably won’t give you a decision in the scheduled time they tell you. Waitlists aren’t the end of the world either!
…are some notes about my application process, ordered by decision date. I sent most of my apps in late September or early October. Arizona State University Accepted - 10/14 (23 days) via video inside email, $32k/yr ($$+) emailed a day later Application sent 9/21 Optional Essays: Short paragraph (in app) about Why ASU…
Apply as early as possible. Go extra hard on the LSAT. Don’t take decisions for granted.
…I do not think there is much of a difference submitting in early September vs anytime in October or even November - it only changes your decision timeline. I submitted several applications before they were ready, and I would’ve only benefited by waiting until October. -Have your personal statement “ready” long in…
…help your state of mind because you tried your best. Apply earlier than me, you will be better off. I did early February Don’t get Copypasta’d in chat, that shit blows All unmarked decision dates were before March 20th
Background: I graduated very early and took the LSAT a couple of times without studying. In hindsight, this decision was idiotic, and I was just very young to understand this. My highest LSAT score reflects an improvement in studying. My work situation and issues at home still limited this studying, so I wasn’t able…
Ask for fee waivers, I was only told ‘no’ twice. Apply early and widely. Look at the NALP and ABA Employment reports and base your decisions on where to apply and attend on those. Assume you will be an average student and make sure you’re ok with the average outcomes for the schools you consider. EVERY part of your…
…what separate you from other applicants. Ultimately, my decision came down to UCLA, Michigan, Duke, and Virginia. I loved all four of their environmental programs. Virginia came in with the lowest scholarship offer of any of my acceptances, and UCLA was just a little too far away from home, so it became a battle…
…waitlist movement before you’ve even heard their initial decision on your file. Ignore it. Checking this site every day will not make decisions come any faster. Don’t compare your results with your stats twins who applied early in the cycle. They did better. You’ve just got to accept the choices you have. You’ve…
…the week I got the A Gray bar at WashU within a week of decision GW date did disappear but I do not remember when NDLS admissions department is a hot mess Vandy didn’t need this many WL waves. They could have just sent them all at once. W&L is not the kind of school I would have felt comfortable at. If you are…
CONCLUDED 4/27/2023. BEST WISHES TO ALL WHO COME AFTER. Gonna do this by first giving some opening info, then making a list by date of admissions decision, and finish by giving a summary and final remarks. Read it all, skip to the end for my folk wisdom, or just look at my app chart; it’s all up to you. Intro I…

Apply early and to any school you could remotely see yourself going to. Pray about the right decision.
Wrote Why X statement for Stanford Some advice for future applicants: Apply as early as possible (by which I mean as soon as you are confident your application is ready). There is absolutely no reason not to (that I’m aware of). I’ve spent most of this cycle regretting submitting in mid-October instead of early or…
