Applying earlier would have likely to my getting accepted instead of waitlisted for a number of these schools

-C+F issue: didn’t affect my application nearly as much as I thought it would (if at all) so don’t be discouraged and just make sure you address it sufficiently

tbh, do not get on here. it makes your brain jump into comparison mode. go to law school for yourself and your education, not to get into a competitive game.

Know your strengths as well as your weaknesses. Originally applied to nearly all schools in September with a 160. Retook January LSAT for my current 167.

my words of wisdom are to know what your goals are as best as you can. it will save you a lot of money and grief. negotiate and know your worth.

Only two things matter, LSAT and GPA. And GPA doesn’t really matter unless it’s 4.0+… Just study your heart out for the LSAT, trust.
