Extremely grateful for the decisions I have received and for being done with this process. If I had to start this cycle all over again, I would have cut down my school list. Although I received fee waivers to every school I applied to, there was never a realistic chance I would have attended some of these schools.…

Admitted to University of Notre DameApply broadly and shoot your shot because none of this makes sense. Have a cohesive narrative - this definitely helped me to outperform my numbers. Wrote GPA addendum related to addiction, LSAT addendum related to poor standardized test taking history and anxiety, wrote optional essays for all schools. 4 LSAT takes:…
UVA was my top choice pretty much from the beginning. It was hell watching it go UR so many times (SIX) before I got the interview invite, but the interview itself was great and they called me back an hour after we finished with the admit offer. UVA has been an absolutely amazing fit for me and I love it here. Law…
I recommend LSAT Demon to study! You don’t need legal experience, but you should have a cohesive narrative explaining “why law, why now.” Write all optional essays that pertain to you. Apply broadly to negotiate aid and don’t be afraid to ask! Consider overall COA and location when rankings and scholarships are…
LSAT 167 GPA 3.84 2021–22 cycle
Attending University of Notre Dame
Big surprise. After applying I prayed to God every night to get me into Notre Dame. Even if I got waitlisted everywhere, let Notre Dame be the school that lets me in. Have faith, God is listening. He tests us, but only to make us stronger. ND was my top choice from the start. I had two very generous offers from…
Reapplicant from 20’-21’ cycle. Last year I applied with a 167 and got: A: UNH with $$$, Santa Clara with $ WL -> R: BU, BC, ND, Northeastern R: UCLA, USC, Berkeley I applied to more competitive schools this year and things are looking more favorable. It’s kind of odd how important a high LSAT is. My LSAC GPA is…
Easier said than done but STAY OFF REDDIT. All that comes from the subreddit is anxiety.

si es para ti, nadie te lo quita bet on yourself!
LSAT. It matters. (Although I killed myself studying, I still wish I had studied even more) Take your time when filling up the applications. Ask for fee waivers (if money is a concern). You would be surprised how many will provide. Apply early (or so I’ve heard - Im not too keen of this advice) Enjoy the Process
second time applying. originally aubreyplaza. 2023-2024 timeline: 11/20/2023 - app submitted- 04/03/2024 - LOCI submitted 05/22/2024 - resume updated 07/03/2024 - LOCI submitted 07/11/2024 - offer extended verbally 07/11/2024 - acceptance + scholarship uploaded on portal excited to be going to vandy!
My cycle had a lot of twists and turns, it was really only at the last moment that my decision was made. Sometimes it might not be clear where you are going to end up, so if you have some setbacks don’t think it’s the end of the road yet! You might just need to wait until you get the answer you want.
I applied so broadly because I wanted to try and negotiate scholarships. Unfortunately the only scholarship I was able to negotiate at all was at GULC. Looking back, I would have just blanketed the T20 + ND and ignored the rest, but I am nonetheless thankful for a successful cycle. GO BLUE!
I feel like my softs are closer to a Tier 3 but I’ve got one of the tier 2 bulletpoints on my resume so I guess I’m tier 2 Wrote Why X for: UVA / Michigan / Georgetown / Notre Dame Don’t ignore your GPA until it’s too late, kids Went UR3 (lol) at ND on 2/2 Got the HTE from NYU (lol)
lol don’t apply with the gre Went from all Ws and Rs to a strong cycle
