LSAT 175 GPA 3.80 2026–27 cycle

Applied through the Junior Deferral Program (JDP) because of the rising LSAT / GPA medians and a commitment to a two-year post-grad program.

Baffling cycle. Utterly delighted with the outcome, though. Above all: Listen to the Navigating Law School Admissions podcast https://law.yale.edu/admissions-financial-aid/jd-admissions/connect-us/navigating-law-school-admissions-podcast.

I had a pretty tight resume with plenty of softs related to mentorship, athletics, and research, as well as demonstrated success in a field (IP/tech) where there are very few URMs.

Trust yourself, trust the process, and trust the lord. Everything happens for the best. Don’t let law school admissions define you. You are more than numbers, tell your story, show your motivation and determination… You’ll be just fine

This is probably super doxxy, but I used this site often during the application process and know that it can be helpful in some ways (although not as many as Reddit would lead you to believe…). Applied to most in late November

STEM major/business minor. Otherwise, fairly average softs (legal & financial internships, volunteer work, club leadership positions, TA experience, etc). T20 undergrad. Did not apply for aid at NYU, Duke, or Northwestern.

Wrote every optional essay to all of these applications. I didn’t keep exact track of the dates, so any of the applications where the date complete is the exact same day as the date received was just an approximation.

It is NOT just a numbers game! Do not only listen to the 0Ls on r/lawschooladmissions! Craft a compelling story about your interests / why law and get great recommendation letters and you can outperform your numbers.

Be interesting! Do cool things before, during, and after law school. This is more life advice than it is admissions advice, although it applies to admissions too – do whatever you’re passionate about! Passion shows.

My advice to future applicants is to slow down and take a breather. Law school is exciting but there is a lot more to life than checking your statuses 75 times a day. Life is beautiful, and don’t let it pass you by!
