(1/14): Accepted to top choice of Yale in early January, withdrew majority of other applications, maintaining only schools that I would consider attending with a full scholarship.

Admitted to University of GeorgiaTake an LSAT prep course. They can raise your LSAT by anywhere between 5 and 15 points. That is the difference between going to a school closer to 100 and a school closer to 15.
Leave yourself enough time to retake the LSAT, do research before it’s time to send off applications, and don’t drop out of undergrad bc it really hurts your GPA later.
Splitter who bombed their undergrad GPA. Computer Science Major might’ve helped me but if there’s one thing I’ve learned. It is that the LSAT was my saving grace (◕︵◕)
It’s hard to know what advice to give. Try hard on the LSAT, write thoughtful essays, apply to enough schools to have options. It’s never too late to change paths.
Write in your style for your personal statement, show committees what you have to offer and hope to gain, and press apply! Nothing you can do except your best :]
Wrote Why X essays for Duke, UVA, Michigan, Penn (core values), and Cornell. Submitted diversity/lived experience statements to all schools that had the option.
Put your trust in God, and all will be revealed. Also, don’t be this guy, please: https://www.reddit.com/r/LSAT/comments/y2bz46/be_honest_with_me_guys/
Let me run the admissions committee for every law school… then you’ll know what the optimal intersection of chaos and efficiency looks like.
If you’re reading this and yk who I am, keep it cool, but you see these stats I know you admiring…** **¯(ツ)/¯ I’m like that!!! -TD3
If you have all of your materials ready, apply as soon as possible! Also, do not apply to as many schools as I did - it was a mistake.
Crazy cycle and overall super happy with my results. I’ll prob come back here to talk about advice but for now… GO BRUINS!
KJD (putting in full-time employment during college removes KJD from LSD’s algorithm) Shoot above what you think you can make!
it’s all going to be okay! you will end up where you are supposed to, but this is a tough process. lean on the people you love.
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!
Living for free in Atlanta and attending Emory at 67% off – it was too good to pass up, as someone originally from Atlanta.
Meet with admissions teams in person, force your way into the door. People will not know you until you make yourself known.
Use 7sage, don’t do more than 1-2 tests a week, take a 4-5 day break every couple practice tests (so you actually learn).
