I graduated UG in 2019 and went straight into a 2 year MA program (2019-2021; 3.77 GPA) so I guess that would technically make me a KJD
…I think having clear reasons for Why Law and (as a KJD in particular) Why Now was real important. Good luck with ur cycles!
myriad C&F disclosures from several years ago when I had an underdeveloped prefrontal cortex 2020-21: (KJD) applied late November and December to the T14 + BU, Texas, WashU, GW, BC- A: none WL: UPenn, Duke, Michigan, Northwestern, GULC, WashU, Vanderbilt, Texas, BU, GW R: HLS, CLS, NYU, BC 2021-22: Why X for…
I put myself as T4 softs because I’m KJD and most of my resume items are typical undergraduate activities: legal internship, lab research, TA position, and club leadership. However, I am a first-generation college student with 2 majors (STEM + business-related), which maybe helped me standout a little bit, but…
I applied broadly across the T14 with no safeties because I’m a KJD and decided that unless I got into a school I was really excited about I would R&R. There were definitely some T14s I was more excited about than others, but because I got fee waivers from CCN–>GT I applied everywhere. Why X for all schools except…
…staying on any WLs. Get your LOR early, but don’t apply KJD either! You’ll be better for at least a year of work/life experience.

not technically kjd - im a year out of school but did not work during the year off
…for any schools that had prompts. Otherwise, very boring KJD who’s had a lot of luck this cycle :)
KJD but graduated from undergrad with BA & MA in 4 years. Withdrew from Stanford, Columbia, Penn, and Duke before receiving official scholarship offers. Did not negotiate for more aid from schools.
KJD, after 1st-semester senior year GPA went from 3.8 –> 3.83
–KJD but with some interesting softs: extensive work experience while in undergrad at a small startup company I helped build, numerous publications, and involvement/competitive success in a collegiate activity (think debate/Mock Trial). They fit together well into a narrative, but aren’t rare enough to be more than…
…defense firm for a little while, but I am still a “KJD” by most standards. I didn’t have involvement in any clubs or organizations; I got some scholarships in undergrad. That is basically it for softs. At the end of the day, this process is personal. You will be better off if you focus on your own priorities rather…
