Admitted to Wake Forest University(◕︵◕) I have an LSAC “broke-boi” fee waiver and did not turn on CRS, so all of the fee waivers were automatic or I just emailed them my LSAC waiver.
If you are thinking about delaying your cycle to get a better LSAT-DO IT! it makes a HUGE positive difference, and in the end, time passes quickly.
If you are waitlisted at a school (and really want to get in), GO TOUR THAT SCHOOL AND KEEP SENDING LOCIs (without annoying them of course).
You definitely won’t get into your dream school if you don’t apply. “Shoot your shot,” as the kids say.
LSATDemon taught me everything I needed to now. I would it recommend to anyone preparing for the LSAT and law school admissions generally.
Taking a year off and working may have helped with admissions instead of coming in as a KJD.

Apply early! ABA 509 data is more reliable than LSD’s. And maybe don’t panic apply to other schools after sending an ED app…
Better late than never!
if you know your top choice school & they don’t offer ED, let them know through your essays that they’re your top pick. :)
*I sent all my materials in October **ASK FOR FEE WAIVERS! I saved $1k just by asking schools to waive my application fees
Use 7sage, don’t do more than 1-2 tests a week, take a 4-5 day break every couple practice tests (so you actually learn).
Wrote Why X for all schools. GRE only - highly advise not to apply to WashU. They are not friendly to GRE applicants.
WITH GOD, ALL IS POSSIBLE
I should’ve taken the LSAT a third time… listen to your instincts. If you think you will do better, go for it!
Foul KJD, emboldened by the flame of ambition. Have it writ upon thy meagre grave: Felled by the T14
apply early, have other people read your statement, stay off this platform as much as your sanity permits
