Don’t listen to the people telling you not to be KJD (or in my case super KJD). They are right that you need time to prepare, but they are wrong in thinking that the clock only starts after you graduate. Take the LSAT as early as possible, apply as early as possible, and believe in yourself. A lack of work…
<-(◕o◕)-> Dream big. Apply even if you think you might not get accepted but also def get a fee waiver for those dream schools so you’re not wasting money! Also don’t talk to those awful, AWFUL people on Reddit. They’re not admissions, they’re not deans, and they’re not law professors. DOUBLE CHECK EVERYTHING…

Overall, I feel as though I outperformed my stats due to a compelling PS. I took the LSAT twice and was PTing higher but decided to quit after the second time because I knew with work and school I couldn’t afford (both financially & time) to keep studying. My advice: if your stats are mediocre write a great PS and…
Work as hard as you can in college, study hard for the LSAT, try to apply early if possible – and above all else, PLEASE take care of your mental health. If that means stepping away from this site for a while, then do it. Do NOT sacrifice your wellbeing during this process. Develop good habits now, and carry them…

Talk to the Admissions Office. Many of them will be happy to answer specific questions on how to make your application more competitive or what they’re looking for in a personal statement. These perspectives are invaluable for an application. Remember that every time you engage with a school (whether virtual, in…
i am EXTREMELY debt averse, i think paying tens of thousands in tuition for grad school, especially when i intend to enter a very low paying field (public defense) is a fucking racket. so while i’m disappointed by not getting the Toll at Penn, I feel very good about turning down my other offers for a full ride at…

I knew after I got my second score as a 148 after consistently scoring in the 160s during my PTs I was going to have to reapply. However, I wanted to apply to about 7 schools just to see how much my other materials might pull through and allow my data to help someone else researching. You’ll see me back again for…
To all my low-income, first-generation black applicants: Trust yourself! Do not be afraid to ask for what you deserve. I know my success relative to the circumstances of my peers puts me in that top tier. I asked for a fee waiver from every school and a CAS waiver from many. I asked for RUBY I asked for Mordecai I…
