Admitted to University of California—DavisIf 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.
Please write a GPA/LSAT addendum (if its valid). I regret not writing one, I was scared to write one for many reasons but I still regret it
Never let your UG GPA hold you back. Apply broad, aim for the 75th LSAT median and you’ll be successful. Good luck to all super splitters!
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.
Used the Law School Expert for admissions consulting and the LSAT Wizard for LSAT prep (153 diagnostic; 161 - 169 - 171 tests).

Being rejected from target/safety schools is not nice but as long as you get into your goal, keep your chin up! (◕︵◕) YP is real!
Work Hard and be patient. If you really want to become a lawyer you will get there on your own journey. Be confident and humble!
Living for free in Atlanta and attending Emory at 67% off – it was too good to pass up, as someone originally from Atlanta.
don’t worry! it’s horrible right now but soon you’ll look up and be freaking out in law school instead of on the internet!

Weak tier 3 or strong tier 4 softs, so I rounded up. STEM Major, grade deflated school. Too bad none of that helps :)
Wrote diversity statement for all schools, why X school essay for most schools, other optional essays for most schools
9/13/2024 I submitted my application to about 7 schools so far, and I did almost every optional essay available.
Stay true to yourself and your values, and remember you can’t pour from an empty cup!
Give yourself enough time to study (read books and use sites like 7Sage) Your Personal Statement is EVERYTHING
Applied to most schools in November, wrote diversity, optional essays, statements of interest for most schools …
You deserve all that you have worked for and more. Don’t be afraid to ask for scholarship reconsideration!!!!
The individual who favors the journey will always go further than the individual who favors the destination!
