Went into the process being okay with a lot of debt, came out of it realizing that a full ride in a market I want to be in means a big deal to me. Did not write any LOCIs whatsoever.

Admitted to Temple UniversityNumber one advice to get into those tougher schools is to be interesting. Also, don’t let law school decisions control your happiness.
APPLY! Stop listening to people who say you have no chance at certain schools because of your stats. There’s more to an application than just your gpa and lsat. Shoot your shot!
Try to visit schools and picture if you could see yourself living there. It’s 3 years of your life, so the choice of school can go beyond just the school itself, it’s life too.
Study with LSAT Demon, apply to a lot of schools, consider the total cost you’re paying not just the scholarship amount.
Unsolicited increase from Baylor. Solicited increased from Pittsburgh. Negotiations rejected on all other attempts (Richmond, PSU Dickinson, Temple).
Apply to Iowa early because they have this fun thing called a scholarship waitlist, barely anyone who applied past December got money this cycle.
LongGrotesqueDachshund left no wisdom for posterity… (◕︵◕) Except this: it’s all fucking random. Also being old and wise actually does help.
Most of your life is out of your control. WL at all Jesuits lmao (they must not have liked all of my PI talk) 19 years of public school LFG
Several refusable offers were made, apparently. But not in the expected direction lolol
Shoot your shot! You don’t have anything to lose (except for the application fee money, but you’ll earn that back eventually lol)!
Also have a 4.0 in my master’s program. Just want to put down as much info as I can to help everyone through this stressful time!
WE in corporate compliance at two fortune companies LORs from a senior lawyers at each company Strong PS and diversity statement

You just need one yes!
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!
Living for free in Atlanta and attending Emory at 67% off – it was too good to pass up, as someone originally from Atlanta.
if you know your top choice school & they don’t offer ED, let them know through your essays that they’re your top pick. :)
