Admitted to Boston Universityimm the black elle woods!! we finna repp the innocent project my nigg
Because of my GPA, I scared myself into believing I had to achieve a perfect LSAT score and delayed testing for almost 4 years. The forums and the chat can be useful, but they can also be harmful. Know your limit. If you start to doubt your worth, your chances, yourself.. UNPLUG. I did not pay for study programs or…
Write every optional, that’s what carried me.

Don’t worry so much about it. You’re fine.
GoodGratisFellow says… Ecstatic with how this process ultimately turned out! I think applying earlier (literally any month before January) would’ve likely helped, but I believe this is primarily true for the availability of scholarship money. In such a crazy cycle, I think applying on the later-side didn’t hurt as…
It is never over until it is over. If you’re an anxiety-ridden bean doom scrolling through here, I hope you find whatever it is you’re looking for by stalking my stats and profile o-o **My generic number one piece of advice is to get applications in as soon as possible. **Obviously don’t rush things to just submit…
Take this whole process in parts: Figure out why you want to go to law schoolReally journal this out, get real with yourself (is it a career you have concrete reasons for thinking will be fulfilling or rewarding for you? Do not- go to law school because it’s the next thing to do or it would make [insert person]…
***General *** Essays:- I wrote my personal statement about my goal of working in IP and the arts space rather than tech and focused on my personal experiences that led me to that goal. I had one person review my essays that I’m not too close to, which helped to give more objective advice. I wrote a…
170 —> 180 I stopped keeping track at some point, but here are a few lists I worked on from the beginning of application season until around February. The first list is of when people reported getting decisions from various schools back here and on Reddit (days of week and times of day in PST). This does not show…
Read ABA 509 reports to make informed decisions on your application and scholarship process: https://www.abarequireddisclosures.org/Disclosure509.aspx LSATs: 170 > 171 > 179 (studied with the LSAT Demon, wouldn’t recommend anything else). In retrospect I should have explained this score jump with an addendum…
Applying Truly, apply anywhere you want to go (finances willing). You don’t want to leave any stone unturned- If you can, try to have a least two safetys Nothing is guaranteed in this process. Most schools do not admit in a predictable pattern or timeline and even if they do, you can always be surprised. When I…
Apply Early!!! I don’t mean that the timeline is more important than the quality of your application but BY ALL MEANS plan ahead!!! I brainstormed my PS and DS over the span of 6 months and went through about 7 different drafts before finalizing. Overall, I think my strong narrative is what allowed me to have a…
This is a lonnnng process, but don’t give up. I am the first person in my family to go to law school, so I had absolutely 0 experience before applying. Here are some things I wish I knew before I started: -No essay is optional. Write a “why x” for every school & make sure it’s well researched. -Find someone to help…
