shits rough now with all these new applicants each year schools that were more mid-range before are tougher now so generally prepare for that study hard and have faith in yourself
I submitted my application to SMU by the early decision deadline of November 15th. I heard back on November 19th that my application was rolled over to regular admissions.
SEVERELY better cycle compared to 2022-2023 for me (◕_◕). I did not retake the LSAT, just strengthened my application parts and applied in November instead of February.
The only thing worse than rejection is regret! applied pretty broadly since this is a weird cycle. Planned to go to Loyola, but getting into bama was such a dream.
Take your time on your application and do all extra essays. You might be above medians, but the essays prove you are serious which can be rewarded with extra $$$$.
Don’t shoot for the highest ranked schools. Shoot for the schools where your stats are above the median. You’ll get scholarships and will have smaller debt.
The time will pass anyway.
Good luck future lurkers :) It was a stressful process, but all works out in the end! Likely pursuing Duke’s JD/MA in Bioethics and Science Policy!
GPA had significant upward trend (near 4.0 for junior and senior years) Duke scholarship interview March 24; Duke scholarship decision April 7

Good luck! If you are a reverse splitter really try to have a memorable personal statement! I think taking a bit of a risk there paid off for me.
Don’t take this too seriously…

Spend more time on the LSAT than on anything else. I rushed the studying and got a average result.
