I am unable to attend any law schools at this time. But updated all the info for others to see. Best of luck in your journey!
don’t underestimate how important your essays can be, write every optional essay and make sure they’re the best they can be.

Apply early, feel like I could have done better with lower ranked schools. Got lucky at the end.
Work hard, be confident, and try not to lose your head. This shit ain’t going to get easier.
Balance in all things.
