There is a road, no simple highway, between the dawn and the dark of night. And if you go, no one may follow. That path is for your steps alone. Robert Hunter

Admitted to University of TennesseeStudy with LSAT Demon, apply to a lot of schools, consider the total cost you’re paying not just the scholarship amount.
Realize when you need to take a break! Remember that comparison is the thief of joy. You don’t have to receive a 170 to be a successful law student/lawyer.
Unsolicited increase from Baylor. Solicited increased from Pittsburgh. Negotiations rejected on all other attempts (Richmond, PSU Dickinson, Temple).
If you are thinking about delaying your cycle to get a better LSAT-DO IT! it makes a HUGE positive difference, and in the end, time passes quickly.
I tailored the last paragraph of my personal statement to each school, and I believe that contributed (in part) to the scholarships I received.
If you are waitlisted at a school (and really want to get in), GO TOUR THAT SCHOOL AND KEEP SENDING LOCIs (without annoying them of course).
You are more than your LSAT score. A school can’t chance you if you don`t apply, so take a chance on yourself and apply to the school!
In general, I would say that the best thing to do is not worry about it. Submit your applications and get on with your life!
An explanation of cause is not a justification by reason. Take the LSAT earlier in the cycle than you think you need to.
Refreshing your status checker over and over won’t make admissions come up with a decision any sooner ;) Good luck!!!
Get your LSAT up as high as you can because that’s where the $$$ is. Highly recommend work experience. Best of luck!
It’s always easier said than done, but take deep breaths and relax! Things are never has bad as you think they are.
Start studying ASAP, apply as soon as you get your LSAT Score - don’t wait!
I should’ve taken the LSAT a third time… listen to your instincts. If you think you will do better, go for it!
success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts - winston s. churchill
apply early ! dont slack on LSAT ! have good essays, pay the extra money for someone to look at it.
My advice: WAIT TO HIT SEND BEFORE YOU HAVE YOUR LSAT SCORE. I would saved a lot of money lol
