While it is possible to get into schools with scholarships applying late in the cycle, it will limit your options and provide a lot of waitlists at schools you’d likely be admitted to when applying in the fall. The LSAT is a huge factor and can drag a low GPA up.
APPLY TO LAW SCHOOL. Don’t let anyone discourage you. Go to the best school that gives you the most money!!!!!!! I will only be including the day sent and when I received a decision date because law schools will take years to get back to you with a decision.
Make sure you have safety schools!!! Scholarships > Rankings
A wise person does not grieve for the things which they have not, but rejoices for those which they have. ― Epictetus “Now is no time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with what there is.” — Ernest Hemingway
“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
Don’t go for the sake of going. If it doesn’t make sense right away, keep doing what you love and trust you’ll find your way there eventually. Planning to continue my career teaching US govt in the fall w sights set on next cycle.

Sometimes the obvious choice isn’t the best choice. Be confident in your decision and dreams and let it drive your future!
Just about anyone can get into law school if they put their mind to it. Setting a target LSAT score and sticking to a strict study regimen is what worked for me, even if this seems rather obvious and sounds redundant.
If your LSAT isn’t good, become a really good writer.
Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming.
Always try to attend events for the school you’d like to attend! Also, always start preparing LOCI’s. You’ll never know what school you get waitlisted from. That way, you can send the letter right away.
Rec letters really made the difference for me. I worked hard with my reccomenders to let them know how important this portion of the application is and got complimented on my letters from admissions staff
Don’t give up! Even if you feel like your LSAT score is not high enough, law schools look at other things. Struggles you’ve overcome and work achievements are a huge advantage even with a low LSAT score
Don’t overthink. Trust the process and do your best. Refuse massive debt! I recommend getting a tutor for the LSAT. I used Powerscore and it helped me go from 162 –> 170 after months of hitting a wall
