Apply as early as possible!
Spend more time studying for the LSAT. Consume your life with it. Be a paralegal, legal assistant or get a legal related job to see if you want to be a lawyer.
Apply mindfully and strategically to a bunch of schools. Always ask for application fee waivers and don’t let a lower LSAT stop you from applying. Good luck!
Do not stress for the first two to three months after you submit applications. You cannot tell how things are going to go; don’t bother thinking about them.
Don’t wait until January to apply to schools! I am purely a stats-based applicant. My cycle would turn out better if I wasn’t 20 and had work experience.
