Admitted to University of WashingtonThere are more important things in life than the law school admissions process. Remember to appreciate how far you’ve come and the people who have supported you along the way. 💖
I am a First-generation American and have been working as a paralegal in Big Law since right after graduation. I applied as early as I could in the cycle, which I think helped.
Only you know what’s best for you. Trust yourself. I know it’s cliche, but this wisdom has guided me through this cycle and I’m really excited about my decision.

Good luck with your applications :)
u/WordyGorl on r/LawSchoolAdmissions if you want to chat about my cycle :) PI goals & hoping to clerk, which is why I am attending Duke!
No one knows anything about admissions - take all advice with a grain of salt. Take your time to get a good LSAT if you can’t fix your GPA.
Please write a GPA/LSAT addendum (if its valid). I regret not writing one, I was scared to write one for many reasons but I still regret it
Apply early if you can! I think I owe my acceptances to the fact that I applied in September before the giant wave of winter applicants.
if you haven’t heard back in 3+ months, it’s probably an R/WL - as evidenced below. exception is san diego… idk what they’re doing.
Also have a 4.0 in my master’s program. Just want to put down as much info as I can to help everyone through this stressful time!
Work Hard and be patient. If you really want to become a lawyer you will get there on your own journey. Be confident and humble!
Stay true to yourself and your values, and remember you can’t pour from an empty cup!
