Admitted to Northeastern UniversityOur generation’s cooked and my cycle was even more cooked but y’all got this. And apply early
Be meticulous in logging all dates into LSD so future 0Ls can be effectively neurotic. Also – follow your gut. If you know you could do better on the LSAT, take it again.
Don’t get caught up in how other people are studying for the LSAT! Stay focused on yourself and your own progress - trust the process!
I wasted way too much time getting caught up in the rankings, find the place that makes you feel excited to become a better and more educated version of yourself.
Everyone feels the same way you do. Don’t let anxiety stop you from doing whatever you want. You are not alone. And always remember haters gonna hate. Be you.
tbh, do not get on here. it makes your brain jump into comparison mode. go to law school for yourself and your education, not to get into a competitive game.
Don’t tell anyone why you really want to go to law school… it sounds pretentious. If anyone asks, tell them you thought it was a really sexy thing to do.
Shooting my shot because why not? I got some fee waivers so I applied to schools I wouldn’t have otherwise. Expecting rejections but hoping for the best.
Spend less time on LSD Law, more time on your applications, and even more time living life in the meantime.
If I can do it, so can you. I thought I wasnt going to get in anywhere with my stats. Still waiting on several more schools but super blessed.
If you’re reading this and yk who I am, keep it cool, but you see these stats I know you admiring…** **¯(ツ)/¯ I’m like that!!! -TD3
Don’t try to read the tea leaves. Focus on your life and let your apps work through the system. It will take longer than you think it will.
Start your LSAT early (give yourself at least a year if your aiming for 170+) and give yourself the chance to take it at least two times :)
3 years WE (2year public interest legal) oxbridge master’s degree welp.. didn’t go so well. will retake LSAT, keep working, and reapply
I wrote a “Why X” for every school at the bottom of my personal statement, about a paragraph for each. T3 softs because I did Americorps.
Don’t apply to reaches unless it’s free. Otherwise you’re paying to help them lower their acceptance rate and boost up the rankings.
If my results are confusing, I did not get my 173 until January 2022. Take the LSAT early and get your best score before applying!
