Just want to leave a word of encouragement for my fellow serious C&F applicants, you can overcome your past. Don’t let it hold you back!
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.
You are more than your LSAT score. A school can’t chance you if you don`t apply, so take a chance on yourself and apply to the school!
Be yourself! The schools that truly value who you are despite your stats will want you and be the best fit for you. Also, apply early.

Shoot your shot! And don’t panic, you will get into law school and do amazing things :) Feel free to DM any questions!
Stay true to yourself and your values, and remember you can’t pour from an empty cup!
go on tours if you are within a day’s drive of a school. a vibe check was more important than I thought it would be
Write a very cohesive narrative as to why you’re applying and why you want to go to that school. Do the optionals!
If you’re below both medians at most of the schools you apply to, your cycle is gonna be a bloodbath (see below)
